SlingPlayer on HD

Now this is a new issue...Once started, on portrait mode, the slingplayer screen takes half the screnn of the HD.Also it is impossible to change channels as the buttons seem pressed there.
On Landscape mode the screen is filled up almost to the 90% capacity of the HD , thus making it very very comfortable to watch.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the portrait mode???
Thanks

slingplayer impossible to use (touchscreen version)
has anyone managed to get slingplayer mobile working well on Touch HD? The buttons are impossible to use for the remote very small and not mapped correctly, also the full screen is not the whole screen only part of it.. anyone got any tips? I searched but noone seems to have solved this?

Hope it's sorted soon, asked the wife for a Slingbox for xmas :/

its just about usable although slow to use the menus for remote control functions but the streaming and PQ are excellent so its worth having!

I have it working.
I cannot however hand out the version I am using.
So, please wait. a version that does work perfectly with HD is on its way. I can also state SlingMobile version coming out soon works perfectly on Omnia and on the X1.
Sorry I can't hand this out, and please do not ask, as refusal may offend.

Ah... wonderful news indeed as this is one of my favorite apps.

awesome, figured out I can get the current version usable with Sky plus by using the favourites buttons to set the most common remote control functions but it would be good to have a version that works with WVGA properly!! Any idea on timelines for the newer version?

Any News?

emulators on blackstone question

is it possible to talk on this board about emulators for wm and especially how they run on htc devices?
if not sorry and close the thread

I dunno, try it

Of course this is possible, as long as it is somehow related to the Touch HD, such as how does the current emulation software out there run on the HD?
I'd love to know. How does pDOSBox run?? FPSCE psx emulator?? Gonna try soon... Though I had trouble getting pDOSBox to run on the Diamond, would be good if somebody could give clear instruction on this.

yes that's exactly what I mean
I would to know how console emulators run on hd: for example snes emulator etc.
thx

Well, nobody has posted on this before so I got one suggestion:
Let's find out!
I am going to try fpsce (or whats his face) the PS1 emulator, and will post my findings here, especially with the on-screen controller overlay.
There are SNES emulators for winmo, just google, and try 'em! Let's get some testing info on these!

apart from the point and click games(monkey island etc) how will you be able to control the games without a physical keypad/keyboard?

Could someone please also try the ZX Spectrum emulator
http://pocketclive.emuunlim.com/
as well as the SCUMMVM?
Thank you in advance....

Man that runs smooth... No, I didn't try the snes emu yet. I'm gonna try dos and ps1 first, then snes

I found this:
http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
now let us to know which version works on hd

A couple of YES's!
I've tried both FPSECE and Pocket Commodore 64, both run ok on the HD, but I have no ISO files to test FPSECE and the C64 seems to have a problem with the resolution, and although it works ok, its a real fiddle to see the keyboard AND the display at the same time!
Hope this is of value to someone!

I've tried pocketsnes but I can't get the on screen button in landscape mode, by te way with frameskip0 the fps is stil 60/60, impressive
I've tried the megadrive emulator too, but It seems not support on screen button and I didn't succeed to exit the program...so I had to remove the battery...

I tried pocketGBA amd although it appeared to start up it had problems with resolution and would load but not run any of the ROMs that worked fine on my Trinity...

MorphGear 2.4.0.9 On HTC Touch HD.

They had little luck getting as far as you probably did... maybe they have some info that may be usefull to you...
Just out of curiosity, after its done will you consider vga/qvga resolutions too?
Keep up the great work and if you need any help on icons, graphics or something let me know.

hmm...hehehe... Im not a programmer, only play around in flash because its very simple to use.
I was offering more on the edition of images department, sorry... :/

well everything is in LUA scripts the menus the interface ...
i will have to play a lot to make it work on qvga, BTW it starts on QVGA device but as you know the resolution is a lil high for it

Wooohooo, and there's the next great Desktop game coming to us!
BTW: I can test it on my Diamond for VGA users if you wish!

i think there is easyer way to do it for VGA - this is WVGA and all the graphics have their sizes fixed ....
i will have to find my starcraft cds ... to start experiment on this

OMG if you guys can get this working on VGA as good as warcraft2 runs and as bug free I (and im sure many others) will donate!!!!!!!!!! HUGE starcraft fan here =)

WOOHOO....HUGE Starcraft fan here too. I can't wait for Starcraft II to be released. I have both original CD's of Starcraft I and Brood Wars. I still play this today. I have many more missions (maps) from users on the internet. Some are awesome.
I swear I will buy a WVGA device just to be able to play this game!!! I will certainly use my wife's Xperia to test it once it's going.

bump.. no helpers? =)

Why dont you try to run it on VGA, it will start, but some of the things may be cutted from the both sides

I was a fan myself, and I guess I still am, so I would like to help, let me know what I can do.
my spare time is very limited but I'll try.

I cant program, so I can only help on the images...

Wouldn't it be easier to get a working VGA game, since StarCraft runs in VGA natively? And if you want to make it WVGA, you would stretch the aspect ratio of the game?
Normally I prefer to have correct aspect before full-screen, but perhaps it's different on such a small screen.
Anyway, StarCraft would be the NUMBER ONE GAME I'd like to have on PPC, bar none. And, I do have a Diamond - so I'm quite biased towards the VGA version...

Amazing! Can't wait to see it, I really hope you bring it to VGA. If you need someone to help test it on a VGA device, my Touch Pro is at your disposal.

Age of empires - how to move the camera?

Hey, ive done a bit of searching but got no finds only people asking how to move the camera as well. One find did point out that the game doesn't worth with Gsen, or at least not out of the box.
I have a Gsen program for making it act like a dpad but that did not allow me to move the camera either.
Any other ideas? Anyone got it working at all?

try moving the white box in the overall view...

i think there are some arrow keys which you use to move the camera (if i can remember correctly).

Draggin around the white box doesn't work and there are no arrows either :/
any other ideas?
sorry for the late reply my pc was screwed up.

Touch the border of the screen ? or use gpad to emulate dpad, that's what i do for the game call the Quest and it works well. hope it helps.

Gpad config for AOE
Try this config option for gpad:
FOR AGE OF EMPIRES
<ExeName>aoeppc.exe</ExeName>
<CenterY>0</CenterY>
<DeadZoneY>10</DeadZoneY>
<DeadZoneX>10</DeadZoneX>
<MaxY>40</MaxY>
<MaxX>40</MaxX>
<KeyMethod>SendMessage</KeyMethod>
<MaxKeyTick>1</MaxKeyTick>
<MinKeyTick>10</MinKeyTick>
</Application>

erm, how do i do this? Im unsure how to file. I have the config file on my phone which opens in IE and i have a note pad one. Im presuming changing the note pad one wont do anythin?
:EDIT:
I edited the XML file to add in what you said but now the program doesn't load insteaD :/
I tryed adding "<application> before the text you wrote but taht didn't work either.
:EDIT:
Ahaha! got it working, didn't relise i had to capitalize the A lol. Alas it doesn't work with teh game and appears that when running gpad with the game makes the calibration of the touch go totaly off.
:EDIT:
restarted phone and it worked. Cheers mate¬!

Azgrad Defence in WVGA

Hey guys.
I just bought Azgard Defence which is an awesome Tower Defense game but unfortunately it's not supporting WVGA resolution. Part of the screen just stays black. Is there a way to solve this issue? It would be really nice, if the whole screen was used.
Thanks,
zenabi

Nothing at all that I can do about this? Doesn't this bother anyone else using this game?
greetz
zenabi

if there isn't a WVGA version of the game, then not much you can do. At best, you can dig into the settings files and see if you can locate the resolution parameters and change them to 480x800 though that will only stretch the screen.

Okay, I thought someone maybe had a fix for that. I think just stretching the screen wouldn't make the game look any better Thanks anyways.

You could try WVGAfix3. Not sure whether it works on WM6.5, it did on WM6.1.
I've found another thread with a direct link to the file for download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506634
Let me know if it works. Azguard defence is way too cool on PC, would be great if it works on ppc too.

wvgafix (i believe the new version now supports wm6.5) wouldnt solve the OPs problem as he/she wants to get rid of the black portion.
