Call To ALL Developers!!!! - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hello, Xda-developers....
I have been looking for interesting games for my Touch HD and Touch Pro and have sadly not been impressed by all of them... There have been some that stand out in my eyes, but not alot. So my plan is to create a group of developers to join in and make a series of great games for our Touch HD and (Touch Pro and Diamond). If anyone would like to help me in this process please do message me or post a reply... I have great graphic skills... but do not know much about developing windows mobile.
I have come up with a quick (outline of what some of the games will be) The shot is posted below...
again please contact me if you are interested in helping..
Current Developers:
*Me

I could be tempted to write either a TIME PILOT clone or a PINBALL game in either PPL (very easy) or C# if someone wanted to collaborate on graphics and Game play

There should be many games if we have VGA games emulator => WVGA fix (which already exist) which uses those 160x480 pixels as a virtual dpad like this
http://upload.csrune.com/files/dpadsip669.PNG
. So if you are really able to make some new game, then maybe you can this ? Because if you can, it would be much more usefull than one new game. With this, we can play loads of VGA games which needs dpad.

my hole point is to make a game specifically for the HD... which uses only hd functions so it can be fully optimized....
arent there any developers interested???

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....

pDOSBox runs on the HD, I just installed, ran it and no more.
The text is so small...
Anyone tried PocketUAE?
uae?
how does it work on hd?
pocketnester doesnt seem to allow you to use the soft on-screen controller on the HD.. if anyone can get it working let me know
what pocketpc emulators support on screen simulated controllers?
pocketsnes?

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...

Worms for touch hd

Hello guys!
Does anybody know if there is a version of Worms that works fine with hd? Maybe some great xda developers could make one? I've tried to install some versions but there is a problem with steering (no arrows - hardware buttons)
**** I can't live without this game PS Sorry for my English
Look at the sticky about compatibilities, or inside the wiki, links below. HiH.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
no solution
Thank You, so now there is no solution
This might be extreme, but to save a life, you can use the arrow keys on a BT keyboard for most things, why not steering worms?
you can download SNAILS instead .
It's pretty like WORMS
Hi, i was looking for somethign similar, looks interesting.
Question is, does it work without buttons, only touchscreen ?
if there is ONER game i would like to have on my phone, that is worms. i could play for hours (depends on battery life though .. )
it's fully touch optimized
I play it only with stylus.
does it play on wvga? do u mean snails reloaded from pdamill?
Hi, snails seems not to be free... so perhaps it is better to buy worms if it exists for thouch HD.
Ciao
Fred
I would really like to play on my HTC HD at this great peace of game ( worms ).. would it be possible to add a virtual pad on the space left by the game on the screen? maybe i'm just dreaming
I put in the directory of the game the file WWPSave from the Elf thread and i managed to use only volume button to jump...
I can highly recommend Atomic Cannon 3.0
http://www.isotope244.com/atomic_cannon_pocket.html
This is a worms style game but tanks instead of worms. It has some great graphics and some cool physics, with lots of different weapon types (including animal bombs, similar to the sheep from worms). full screen wvga also!
snails is almost exacly like worms and works perfectly on the HD, only its not wvga though.
try it out there a demo available to.

Baldur's Gate, IceWind Dale, Planescape:Torment on Pocket PC

"GemRB (Game engine made with preRendered Background) is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine which was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. It should run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X and possibly other UNIX derivatives. It is licensed under the GPL. " (http://linux.prinas.si/gemrb/doku.php)
Who can port this wondeful program to WM? I will tester )

yes. I play it on linux on pc now, it runs stable and fast...
wow! please some one make this work! i'll be a tester too! i love baldurs gate and if i can play it on my hermes it will be amazing!
hey! developers! nobody loves BG&PST? (
Great ideas Guys hope they post this soon while am waiting al just play Doom 1,2, TNT etc. and Dukenuken 3D on my WM cant wait for this lol
Seems to me it would be an easy job, as all you would need to do is have the proper dependencies. http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=16785
This forum has a post about it, with a link to installation instructions. I don't have time to hassle with it now, but looks like you need a few libs installed and thats it. If anyone wants to try gof or it! Seems like all we would need is a CAB to install dependencies, and that youtube vid was a year ago, I am sure there is a way now.
Baldur's Gate would be the best and looks like the entire focus of the development. Problem would be that it would be VGA only. I don't see this working on a qvga screen. The original game was 480x640 with BG2 being able to play at VGA or higher.
well, i searched for a version of gemrb for ppc but found nothing on google... if any of the developers could create one it would be great! i really want to play baldurs gate on my hermes!
Oh man this would be awesome on my Touch HD. Good find! Now hopefully the gurus around here will take a look and get it working.
The last (and only) time I tried to port a python game to Windows Mobile, I was stuck at getting pygame to run. This seems to have less dependencies so might be easier.
I love the 2D series of RPGs but GemRB is nowhere near complete yet.
Well am not a programming guru but you Guys keep saying that its easy to port thats Good but can you tell us if your porting right now and we should wait for it to get completed or no body started yet I really wish I can help but again am not a programer al leave this to the pros
wow, this would be AWESOME if someone could get it to work!
If someone wants to try porting, here is a post with links to WinCE versions of the required libraries. I haven't tried any of them and the link is in Russian.
... made by the original poster, no less
because i am not a programer, if you csn tell me what to do, i am will to try my self... and where to find the games?
The games? You have to buy and prepare them for GemRB yourself. There was some discussion of fanmade games for GemRB but it is a lot of work.
Porting such a program is not a trivial task and is impossible for a non programmer.
yes, i am sorry, i figure it out about the games after that post... it's good then i have all the series of bg and IWD in my home... so, if i can not do anything because i am not a programer, as i said before i am willing to beta test so please, anyone can make it happend?
anyone?
I want this to happen! There's gotta be somone out there who can do it!
This would...
This would change my life! (well my free time)
FOR EVER! (for at least 2 weeks until I complete it again.)
I have such warm fuzzy memories of this game. Imoen the theif girl who I am sure I managed to pull.....
Hours and hours of clicking frenzy.
Never Winter nights 2 just never grabbed me in the same way that these old games did.
I really hope that this can be done. I am unable to sit in front of my PC and replay this as I have so many things I wan to play and look at. Having this on mobile wouyld be perfect!!

I was following this thread for (almost) 2 year on this forum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547989&page=22
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.

vga and wvga is possible
qvga is not acceptable because you can not see what is happening on screen
desktop variant even loads the map
for the ppc texture is too big and i will need to reduce the texture to something smaller and with less tiles
i will need to redesigh all maps after this
so i will need your help but first we need to load an reduce map on the ppc
i have also on xperia forum in my kitchen the link for warcraft II and transport tycoon
please try them
br
hy all
alpha 2 is up
pc version works and load maps you can even play
for ppc we need to redesign the tile map so it will take time
i will do an test map to see if it loads it

I have a nike, so I wont be able to test anything, but give me the instructions of what files you need croped/resized/slashed and I'll send them to you or post them here.

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.

i fully agree. There has been talk of this a long time, looks like we are finally getting somewhere. Keep up the good work, I am sure many would be willing to donate, I know I would.

particular games, apps

I've looked through search and ive looked at the list of applications on the wiki, which im sorry is terrible.
whats the point in having something called eagleeyes when no one that read that would know what it was?
anyway i'm wanting to know if there is a website like http://www.ipfun.org/ or http://www.iphone-shaq.com/ or http://www.iphonewiki.com.au/iphone-games/
they seem to show all the apps and games and what not for iphone as well as tell you about them and whats their good for or not.
i'm having great difficulty finding the programs i would like.
a good gps that works in australia
a few good games such as texas holdem
a good media player that will play my music videos and movies (coreplayer doesnt work as the picture is all jitty and jumps everywhere)
a what of making the volume button not so sensitive as i seem to press it by accident all the time.
and a good weather app that will work for my town, the ones you go to online have my town in them but the one on the htc touch hd dont have one within 200kms of me.
i'm also sorry if i offend or offended anyone i dont mean to, this site is a great website but it isnt in the slightest user friendly at all.
why cant there just be an XDA HTC TOUCH HD wiki, go in there and then its a whole website on what you need and want for the htc touch hd?
1) ROM
2) Games
3) themes
4) applications
it would be so much easier for everyone i think...
mods please remove this if this is innappropriate, im not flaming anyone in particular just voicing my opinion/questions/help.
xtrakt ...awesome game for the HD and its a MUST HAVE - Full screen too
Real Dice MC poker to solve your texas holdem cravings.. downside is that it is not full screen but everything else works fine
Resco Bubbles ......great game similar to Teeter
Archibalds Adventure works great!!!
Boom Blox too..
Pocket Uno ..... Monopoly World .... Resco Brain Games.... Virtual pool Mobile..
These are the games i tested so far and works without any problems....
Happy gaming.....watch the battery usage though

This hasn't been done as it would take too long. List in wiki at present tells you which apps/games work. Its up to you to find out what they are.
Wiki is available for everyone to amend. If this means so much to you why not amend wiki yourself and create this improved list with descriptions of games etc
I agree that Apple help their customers better and provide information I would think was basic. Hopefully HTC will learn and hopefully improve
Would agree with previous person that Xtrakt was well worth getting on your HD, awesome game as is Need for Speed Undercover!!
Good luck on your new list!!!
Simply check my signature !
Btw, i can't make run bloombox on dutty ROM :S
well thats a good response from everyone, thankyou very much, ive never ammended wiki or posted on wiki before so ill give it a go and see what i can come up with.
ive now found a fiar few games, what about all the types of games that come on the iphone? like ifishing and the likes. there aqre a lot that use the gyrator type style to play the game. most of the games and apps ive found are real buggy and crash or arnt full screen. it seems that the iphone has better games and easier usage but the htc has more in it as its a windows device. it just seems really hard to get things to work!
just post the games, there are many developers that can fix the bugs andmake them HTC HD READY !
thaanxz to all
especially to you, WinterKnights
not too many for wvga out there yet im afraid. These are the games i have so far that work full screen 15 puzzle, all-in hold em by birdsoft, boom blox, monopoly here and now, pocketgrandmaster 4, resco bubbles, tiger woods 09 by EA sports, need for speed undercover with gsen support and touch support and xtrakt
see i like the games like resco bubbles and teeter
bubble breaker is good to still need to find a good holdem game.
