software disc

I had received a DVD from Ebay with various files on it for various systems with the hope of applying some of these to my MDA (which runs PPC 2003). Hopefully in the process learn something about how the internals of the MDA works. I was hoping to use that old classic called ‘Galaxions’ but see that the extension of this file is ‘NES’ does anyone know if this will run on a MDA or can it be converted or does anyone know where to get a PPC version of this?
Or indeed what type of file is it. The problem with buying these discs is that they combine everything and their granny on them but I only really wanted software for the MDA/PPC platform.
Thanks John.

a dvd with files on it ?
thats kinda vague i mean files can be pictures from some guys granma's birthday
or they can be programs or.......................
this is an emulator to play NES as in Nintendo Entertainment System games on pocketpcs

Playing iplayer content on Diamond

I recently came back to the HTC fold after a year of uing Nokias by being given a Diamond for my Christmas and I've given my wife my N95. I have spent the last week searching various forums to try and solve the following problem.
I used to use my old phone to watch programmes I had downloaded from the BBC Iplayer site. I presumed it would be as easy as using Windows media player on my PC to sync the content to the Diamond as I could do with my old XDA Mini S. Unfortunately it's not !! I keep being hit with error messages saying that it requires a licence. I have tried downloading it with iplayer downloader and renaming the .mov file to mp4 which at least gives me picture but no sound on the Diamond. It is all the more galling when I see my daughter just dragging and dropping content onto her Creative Zen mp4 player and it plays without any hassle.
If someone could suggest a simple and hopefully guaranteed method I would appreciate it. I ahve searched the forum for this but all the threads relate to streaming content to the phone. This isn't really an option because I am on Orange with a pretty meagre data package.

Second that...
Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that one too. I can play iPlayer programmes on the device via the video streamer thanks to the information in this forum, but I get the same lisence error if I try and play a programme I've downloaded on my PC... even though the download actually says it's for mobile devices?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

You'll have to search the forum for that one my friend... I can't remember where I saw the information. You have to update one of the settings in Opera to fool iPlayer into thinking your device is a Samsung Omnia, then visit the mobile iPlayer site and click away. The videos stream throught the pre-installed video streaming app on the device. (At least pre-installed in stock ROM's, if you're using a custom ROM then the cooker may have removed it!)
Happy searching!

The device needs to support playback of DRM protected content, to be able to playback the stuff downloaded from Iplayer. (something like that)

Thanks for that
It's not the streaming of programmes I'm trying to do it's playing files I have already downloaded and want to transfer to my Diamond

Have you tried coreplayer ?

Not the answer to the original question I know but a bit of info for streaming iplayer direct from the BBC website. I use Skyfire browser which is fine, and pretty quick.

Problem resolved
I did as suggested and installed coreplayer and I can play the content. I'll go through what i did because I'm not entirely sure that Coreplayer resolved the problem or no.
I downloaded Coreplayer and installed it on the phone. Because I had deleted the previous downloads I used my daughters laptop to transfer a programme she had downloaded to her Creative Zen. After I transferred it to my phone I went into File Explorer and clicked on the programme rather than opening in Coreplayer it opened in Windows media player. A warning popped up as usual "A licence is required to play this file" and it offered to download it as before. I thought "here we go again it'll fail to get the licence and won't play" but surprise surprise it played fine. Now I'm not sure if Coreplayer installs a codec that allows these files to play or whether the phone got a licence off my daughters laptop that was designed for the Creative Zen but bottom line is that it works. So I'm happy

where can i get non-market games?

where can i get non-market games and is there a way we can convert iphone games to a g1?

As of now, there are very few non-market applications, as the market is the easiest way to distribute apps and games, with the exception of some experimental apps, and iPhone games have nothing in common codewise to Android games, it'd be like saying "can you get my xbox to run ps3 games", it's just not right, though there may be ports of similar games, there is no way to just convert them.

im going to have to disagree with the iphone comparison. very very few iphone games are coded in xcode (iphone native code). theyre almost all written in java and are reasonably easy to convert but it isnt automatic so only the developer can make the new app.
as proof, EA converted a few of the top games to android really fast including sim city, bejewlled, tetris and monopoly to name a few.
i wont bother to link them since they arent commercially available and i dont know if they are considered warez or not.
but to find games outside the app store, do a google search for games with files named with the android extension .apk

Might wanna check this thread

alright thanks for the help but if u find any please post there here

Downloading .apk via PC
I was wondering if there was a way that we could download .apk files via my web browser on my pc.
The reason for this is not having the patience to wait until I got home to use wifi(Since I don't have a data plan).... I am in school the majority of the time, and the Market downloads are blocked by the school administration.
Thanks in advance.

Try my signature it has tons of apk files in there uploaded to mediafire, if you need anything added pm me.

Non market apps can be also found on SlideME.org
Try SAM to see them all and download to install with ease.

Game Emulators Question pokemon etc

Does anyone know how to play games like pokemon or things like that cuz i know theres a way,theres gameboy advance emulators in the market i just dont know how to do it so can anyone help me thanks

First If it asks for the BIOS get it from here http://www.mediafire.com/?aylfnzmpyeb
go to Settings and select GBA BIOS file
Navigate through the SD
find it
select it
then go to this >> http://www.coolrom.com/roms/gba/
Then download your Desired Gameboy ROM
Then Take that to the SD
then go to the Gameboy emulator
look for it
Click it
Play it
Enjoy.

-Download Gameboid/GBCoid
-If using Gameboid, download the bios 'gba_bios.bin' (it's all over the net, easy to find). Gameboid will ask you to link it, just navigate to wherever you downloaded it.
-Grab your ROMs (games) from romulation (not sure if we can link to such sites here so I won't)
-Make a folder on your SD called 'ROMs' (well, this is optional, but a good idea so you can have them all in one place - if using multiple emulators, make sub-folders for each platform)
-Put roms in relevant folders and navigate to them from within the emulator.
Job done, happy gaming!
p.s. Grab this app for the best control solution (on-screen controls are rubbish and your thumbs take up precious screen)

Thanks Alot forum i wonder if you can play nintendo ds games on it that will be raw

which is the best gba emulator?? theres the bin file and the rom, but the emulator??
anyone help please

it says it in the top bro Gameboid

HELP: need method for playing multiple videos in Playlists on Lumia WP ?

I have a couple Lumia Windows Phones 8.1 that I enjoy using strictly as an MP3/Music Player. The reason I like LumiaWP is that XboxMusic is the only App I know of which can shuffle thousands of songs without repeating any. I wish I could play videos through XboxMusic too!
currently I am stuck with using the XboxVideo App for playing videos, but the problem is that XboxVideo will only play 1 video at a time (i cant find any auto-play). Everytime a video ends the phone goes back to the menu instead of continuously playing the next video, forcing me to manually select play for each video. This is really annoying and defeats the purpose of why I like this phone
A few months ago I tried installing VLCplayer on my LumiaWP but it didnt work, and now I heard the Windows Store has been shutdown Im trying to figure out how to install the App manually? I found a guide to install XAP files, but it seems that guide no longer works without the actual Store... does anybody know how I can install VLC on my LumiaWP? or any other video player? I tried downloading the VLC .APPX files (i think?) and put them on my SD card but it doesnt seem like anything happened, seems like most sites link to the windows store which obviously doesnt work
Please tell me there is a way to setup a Video Playlist without having to buy a new phone? :angel:
Thanks!

You can install appx directly from device. You just put file in storage and tap "Install" at File Explorer.

I feel like such a newb for not having these things installed before I cant believe my win8 phone doesnt have a file manager lolz
I had an older Lumia Windows Phone for many years and I purchased 2 newer last year, and I unfortunately didnt hear about the Windows Store shutting down until just recently!
I really like these as media players, and luckily one of my newer ones works with Win10, but I still want to try and setup the other one I have (which is still on 8.1) I dont think I can update my older one to Win10, but thats not a big deal if I can find another way to install the File Explorer
Will setting up interlope help me get files installed? I never hacked a phone before, but I'm certainly going to try! Hopefully I can find the time to read more into the instructions later this weekend :good: or... is it not possible without the file app? its a lumia925
Thanks
