WINDOWS CE6

RTFM--

Quick question: since I've been downloading each updated zip file all along, does that mean I can delete the previous packages? Does the 4/24/10 download contain all the files from previous downloads? I haven't bought this type of machine yet, so am working only theoretically here.

(And completely OT, and in NO way nagging, any date for the final release of 3mx Ultra?)

Jake

If you compare the previous downloads with the current, you will see that each update adds files to the original package, and includes previous applications.

NathanielZhu....the world is not really that cruel...but it is that immature.

Jake: Rich is correct. Just added to what was already there.
As for 3MX, not sure. It's 98% done, however my Ubuntu install decided to bork it's partition table somehow and it no longer boots and i can't access it with any live cd's either. I may just release it in its current state. It's actually done, except for replacing the broken xarchiver.

Cheers.

Oh, boy: on both counts. As usual, your contributions/support make me buy these things in the first place

Bummer about the Ubuntu. If you just need to get into some kind of Linux flavor in a hurry, Puppy has a Live CD and with only 100mb OS, you're in quickly (but I may be misunderstanding the problem).

Jake

Thanks very much for your new package RTFM ! I handpiked a few good ones.

For your next ZIP update, my findings for POWDER (the rogue-like game) in order to get a bigger screen (640*480)
Go at http://folk.poesie.ru/powder/ and get powder-barebone.zip and follow attached instructions.

To my knowledge, the only FREE game that take full use of the 800*480 screen is ICBM.

The only emulator I am able to run is PocketNester (well scummvm is ok). But is so small and half in japanese and it seems you can't redefine the keys ...

An Interactive fiction reader would be welcomed in your package (I can't get frotzCE to get widescreen resolution).

FYI, my handheld is this one :

Thanks for the info on powder.

I wont be adding to my zipfile anymore. Just wanted to make it a bit easier for people having issues installing software to have some stuff to play with. My main goal is to hack the bootloader on my tinybook so i can boot ARM Ubuntu from SD card and flash Android to nand. Once that happens.. goodbye CE6!

If you dont mind paying for software, morphgear (non free) works well on my tinybook and supports nes/snes/gameboy/sega genesis, master system and game gear/turbogfx16. I also just tried the CE port of comeback64 (free commodore 64 emulator) and it works perfectly. PocketDOS also works great (non free) and displays fullscreen.

A lot of winmobile software works flawlessly also. I got conduits pocket artist installed (non free), coreplayer (non free), snes9x (free), warfare inc (demo), tank ace 1944 (non free), par 3 golf (non free) and loads more working. Just takes some trial and error. Some stuff works out of the box, some need missing .dll's added and some just plain don't work at all. That's part of the fun?

Cheers.

Morphgear is free (it's even licensed under the GPL with source code available on the Morphgear website) along with the snes, sega genesis, and tg16 modules. It's Marat Fayzullin's modules that require paid licenses (to remove trial limitations).

RTFM, what did you do to get coreplayer to work? I can run it on my minibook, and it plays music files OK for the most part, but try to play a video (either local or youtube) and it crashes. I've spent hours playing with various options and versions. Same for TCPMP.

-Dana

Did you try changing video output mode in settings window?

Tried that, and damm near everything else, no joy.

-Dana

Dana: I had to mess around trying different dll's that i placed in coreplayers directory. Finally found the magic 4 or 5 dll's and now it plays youtube videos wonderfully. I never had any issues playing videos in general though. Everything worked but internet connectivity ( no streaming radio or youtube) until i found the correct dll's. I'm at work, but if i remember i'll upload the dll's i used later.

Oh, also, try NOT using GAPI for video driver. Use GDI instead. I had odd/random colors and borked video outut when using GAPI.

Cheers.

If you get a chance to find those dll's that'd be great. I had the same results with GAPI, too. It even crashes when I'm just playing music, if video is enabled (disable video and you don't see any album art).

-Dana

thanks for the pack, lot of the progs work on my wince 6 gps but I also have the same problem as dana! so if you could share the dll's please do so.

I got it working with this version+instructions : http://www.sendspace.com/file/pl5h41 <----------------TCPMP + FLV



EDIT: now its crashing aagian after a few reboots...it must be the register..
