Hello!

I discovered that famous Zio Sim City 2000 port for Pocket PC had mips and sh3 versions. There`s a chance to pick the original disk on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sim-City-2000-Game-for-PC-Pocket-PC/1839393...
But I think it`s a bit expensive for an old game

What I found in the Internet is the ARM only version, that can be downloaded everywhere. Maybe, someone has versions for other processors? Of course I`m only talking about Shareware versions.

Yes, I think I remember it existing. I recall an ad in a Japanese PDA magazine called Mobile Press advertising it back in early 2000's.

Yeah, It could be fun to try to run it on some "big" HPCs like Sharp Tripad. However, it requires CE 3.0 and not 2.11, but who knows.

I agree, it will be fun. I think Sharp TriPad was never released here in Japan. It looks like an old iPad with keyboard, haha.

I had it for my Viewsonic V35 with a lot of dead LCD pixels, unfortunately. So does Ultima Underworld. There's also the Age of Empires, Hyperspace Delivery Boy on Apknite.

Oh yes, I remember Age of Empires. I forgot if I got it working on my MIPS powered Cassiopeia E-700WE or not, but I remember that clearly since I was amazed it runs on such a small device.

I actually own that game. I does support the different processors, however even with extensive "hacking" it will not run on the MIPS nor SH3 processors. I was able to run it with my 900C modding the original files long ago, but the display exceeded my screen footprint and scrolling took forever since it requires so much memory. It's a lost cause I'm afraid.

You do have to use GAPI and substitute some dlls to make it display. You also have to hide your menu bar.
