Dear all
I've been tracking the various wvga devices now available for windows mobile and there still seem to be lacking some good applications and games for the wvga resolution. Does anyone know if there are wvga versions of classics such as doom, duke nukem and quake for the xperia?
Regards
Andy
Yes .
Yes there are. Do a search for "quake ppc" on google or through the forum search. They don't run particularly well, not many full screen games do, I personally don't think the x1 will ever have enough cpu/gpu grunt to run much well on the 800x480 screen.
Quake 3 arena gets 5 to 15 fps and it is playable ive played the first 4 maps, altho i cant give you the link..
Oh and that quake 3 that im talking about does not work in landscape mode so you have to use it with the dpad.. that kinda sucks..

Let's talk about 3D accelerated games that WORK on Touch PRO.
So far I've tested 2 games.
- Quake III Arena (low framerate ~5FPS, sometimes ~9-12).
- Call of Duty (not perfect but quite ok, the sound & music is jerky)
Please, keep the topic limited to 3D hardware accelerated games.
I'm using ATI D3D drivers (irrelevant because the listed games are using OPenGL)
Ancient Evil,
it's a Diablo-like RPG and has even 3D realtime rendered shadows
Chopper Flight
Skyforce Reloaded
Snow Rally Canada 1.1
Volcano Island
Tomb Raider
SPV Duke3d
and that's all i can think of right now...
also, i run a playstation emulator (games that i own) but it doesn't use hardware acceleration as of yet (the developer stopped working on it)... fpsce i think is what its called... if anyone knows of a PS1 emulator that uses hardware acceleration that would be grrrrreat.
Call of duty 4 is out for PPC
Do you really like to play this games with the pen? Would be better with buttons I think. (or maybe a combo).
tony hawk 2 and virtual pool mobile dont work
TheTruth, are you sure that Skyforce Reloaded use HW acceleration? I don't think so .
Here's a video showung quake 3 arena in action on the touch pro: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=x8_wfWaYa_w
As you see, it's not smooth at all. In some arenas work better, in some worse.
For more information about Touch Pro performance please follow this topic (also videos comparison between multiple devices)
DSF - have you tried the new 3D drivers? Do they impact performance on games at all? I know it changes the hologram app but that's just a toy...

what is? quake 3???
@mikeeey of course not.. he's talking about the VR hologram application.
@bugsykoosh yeap, i've said that in my first post. However, Quake 3 for example, is using OpenGL CM not Direct3D.
Anyone got THPS2 running hardware accelerated? I only got software renderer . It seems that Touch Pro/Diamond lacks HW OpenGL CL library (libGLES_CL.dll)
About Call of Duty2.

Also, I made a strange discovery about the sound. If you start the game twice, then kill the first one, the second one carries on with sound fixed! See if it works for you. Only useful if you play it a lot. If so, and it works, you could maybe do something with Mort Script.

nope, i installed it and it didnt work. may need to move dlls around or something maybe?
Prince of Persia HD runs, but it seems to be around 15fps. Is there a FRAPs for WinMo? I tried Top Gear and it runs at like 5fps, quite sad.

You need libGLES_CL.dll, HTC Touch Pro/Diamond have only libGLES_CM.dll. So these devices lacks libGLES_CL.dll hardware accelerated library
If you get the SW version that's bundled with libGLES_CL.dll allowing sofware rendering..
@shinydiamonds that game is not using hardware acceleration. Maybe it's using DirectDraw..
This topic is only for games which are using hardware acceleration.
Ok, now with the help of NuShrike libgles_cl forwarder we can play other Dell Axim x51v compatible games. (even if the framerate is not perfect)
Yes, I've got THPS2 running in hardware accelerated mode.
Download libgles_cl :

Later edit: unfortunately it's not that playable. sluggish, low FPS (even in low quality) .
It runs so smooth on the del axim x51v ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KS4PVS6_8U

just very curious how u got quake 3 to run... i tried using a pakconvert program but it just gave me errors? didn't know if u had a diff method?
th2
tony hawk works fine on tp. i stick rre rom.
Xda-developers is the biggest windows mobile community, but what is the biggest symbian forum? I know nothing about symbian but would like to start learning about it.
my-symbian.com I suppose... but it's nowhere near as good as xda-dev.
yeh, I would also like to know more about it...
Like does it have something like activesync for syncing with outlook on the pc? And what's it's equal to Internet Sharing?
Lol, let me hazard a guess: is it due to the crap graphic drivers and the inability of this platform to exhibit anything of graphic value, as compared to Symbian which has recently proven itself worthy of Quake 3?
I had an N73 in the past before which I had WinMo smartphones, and after dabbling deep into Symbian, WinMo is way better; just give it a few months and let's see what comes out.
For syncing, there is Nokia's own software (when I used it last) called Nokia PC Suite, which is crap. It's like a whole slew of applications, half of which are never needed and the Suite itself is nested on the computer's RAM. Not sure about Internet Sharing since I've never needed it.

hahaha yes! Just based off observations... Nokia has always had some of the fastest emulators, fastest ports, the GREATEST doom port! The last few years I've always been asking "why isnt this GBA emulator as fast as Nokia's?" "Why can't my Snes play like that one Nokia phone?" And of course... WHY DOESNT DONT DOOM HAVE MUSIC??? nokia phone's have music when they play doom!"
I actually dont know too much about symbian, if it can play quake 3 or whatnot, but i do know it can play gba, snes, and DOOM. That's why I'd like to visit a symbian forum, to see where they are at in comparison to windows mobile. With that new N97 comming out, Touchscreen, AND uses s60, that sounds pretty good to me.
look at this comparison:

If we could get something like that, but with WinMo :3
bump.
I'd just like to say that my next phone will most likely be the Nokia n82.
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=984
90mb accesible ram
stereo loudspeakers
3.5mm audio output
FM radio
GPS /w Agps
5 Megapixel camera with Xenon flash!
let me just show you some videos showing it's impressive camera + video recording.
Here it's capturing a firework show!:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYDKJO1tPiE
Here is a concert:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyJyt092jHo
Here you can see it's amazing shutter speed. It can capture a still shot of a spinning fan blade, while the N95 makes it appear blurry:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qIYtFkJEh4
Here is a picture the N82 took in the pitch dark:
compare it to this pic the N95 took in the pitch dark:
Check out this album on flickr showing lots of pictures taken by different users with their nokia N82's.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/nokian82usergroup/
The image quality of the N82's camera is just amazing, compatible to a digital camera.
The N82 will also support quake 3 at full detail and framerate with motion sensors (optional) and buttons. Of corse it will play all the emulators such as GBA and SNES at full framerate as well!
You and Quake 3 lol. Seems like you really like the game; i've seen you mention the game throughout many of your posts
Device does look pretty stellar (specs-wise).

lol. Yes, and the price isn't terribly expensive. $300. About half of what phones cost now. It's a nice sturdy bar phone, so it will get me by until a REALLY good windows mobile phone comes out.
haha yeah it seems like every electronic I buy now must be able to play quake 3.
is getting the first crop of games compatible with the ATI GPU imageON (diamond, xperia, touch pro, touch hd etc ...)
after NFS Undercover, check also Xtrakt (3d game). Is amazing
How can you play this game in a Diamond?. It's for WVGA or not?
Thanks!
can we play it in htc diamond
pls upload the game or link to this game.
can we have a download link pls!
found this download link from HD Forum
http://rapidshare.com/files/2100699...r6415_-_Menu_softkey_fix__-_090227_signed.CAB
Is WVGA. but is fully playable in diamond. Read a topic that has the link too.

the game works great
you need to try this guys
very good game
THE BEST 3d game out for ppc
install the ati driver for best graphic picture and more FPS
now we have somthing we can compare with iphone games
Bro can we change the resolution to 480*640 to play in htc diamond cause its for xperia and the game is working but its too wide for htc diamond.
Pls can any expert try and reply here so that we can enjoy this game better
And thanks to marcolero for this thread

Doesn't make any difference at all... This is a opengl (gl_es) game, the ati driver is a d3d driver...
WOW fantastic game, as good as some of the racers on my PSP and smooth as silk
Wont run if I have TF3d turned on but then I am using Rhodium
Also tried to change the .ini file to 480x640 but it does nothing in the game.
Lets have more of this development please
wm versinon, qvga:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Ys3ziWgVk
this game is QVGA, is there an VGA or even WVGA version?
or is is possible to port it somehow...
and i don't believe that it's impossible to make games like this on WM, this usual ugly, double pixled graphics is painless...
same game for iphone:

u might wanna try thps 2 best game for winmo imo
i have it plainig some times, but played it whean i had FS Pocket Loox 720, so it's not new fro me, but this game assasion creed is truli interesting in game play
It is available for WVGA-devices as JAVA-game. Got it myself. The game itself isn't a new one by the way (the JAVA-game is as old as the PC-game, and maybe a bit older). Sadly it is not native WVGA; it has got these ugly looking Softkeys on the bottom of the screen.
Since it is not so simple to find good VGA games in the ocean of the internet, i want to point you all to this list of VGA game collected by cktlcmd, an HTC Athena owner.
Since both Raphael and Athena are VGA, i have started trying some of them: they are all working flawlessly!!!
Here is the list:

Other good games for Touch Pro, not listed in that thread:
Resco Snake, PDAmill Gamebox Classics, Asphalt 4HD, SimCity Metropolis, Xtrakt, Tiki Towers (native qvga but playable also in vga).
Here we have special gamepacks to install tons of arcade games with a single cab (thanks to aruppenthal):
