Hello all, just writing my second post (I know its confusing me too) to say hello and to congratulate you guys for having a fabulous resource here.
I just bought a HTC Universal off ebay in the guise of a T-Mobile MDA Pro which I am rubbing my hands together in glee about. Hasn't arrived yet, but I'm expecting it veeery shortly. My wife isn't quite so enthusiastic, but never mind.
I have a feeling I'm going to need to unlock the little devil with the tools from Buzzdev (many, many thanks for that as well!) and will be using it probably on my Tesco Mobile net sim card, which is really an 02 simcard without the good internet access. I've looked at that though and I'll be trying out a few of the other networks to see how I go with that.
Anyway, just to let you all know, I am not completely technically stupid, I run a couple of websites and I'm hoping to convince this Universal to synch with my linux box, but I know very little about fiddling with PDAs and telephones and so on, so if I ask what seems to be a silly question, it is probably not based in laziness so much as ignorance.
Looking forward to chatting with you guys,
Alan
Hi Alan and welcome.
The Universal is a monster of a device - paperback book sized - but very upgradeable in terms of operating systems. Check out the many threads in the Universal section.
Not come across syncing software for linux but then I'm not a regular Linux user. Maybe someone else can answer that one.
Hi there
Welcome 0/
I'm also looking for a good way of syncing with linux, which flavour do you favour? I Presume you mean syncing with evolution mail or something similar?
a quick google found me this
Pocket PC Syncing with Evolution in Ubuntu:
http://www.blogowogo.com/blog_article.php?aid=747818&t=5
I'll post as soon as ive got something working, let me know how it goes for you. Might be a week or so tho, ive got exams right now :S (one in 5 hours actually,,,oh dear!)

Hello there TheBrit and funkus, thanks for the reply.
I was wandering around one day looking at mobile phones and so on and I saw an XDA exec dummy phone sitting on the shelves of the shop I was in. You know the ones I mean, they don't have any innards, they are just the shell tied to the wall and a list of features on a sign.
I fell in love with the damn thing, I kept going back to visit it over the next couple of weeks and I was devastated when the shop got new stock in and they didn't have the XDA Exec anymore.
However, I had an iPaq rx1950 which I am just about married to, it does almost everything I want except for work as a phone (which I don't use all that much anyway) and seemed to be doing the job, except that there was absolutely no way I could synch it with my Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn box at home.
Then I stumble across this site and find out that what I thought was an XDA Exec is actually an HTC Universal which can be sim unlocked (thanks to buzzdev) and that the wiki has ways of not just synching with Linux, but actually running Linux on the Universal as well!
That did it for me and I began my hunt on ebay. Found one on Friday night and with luck and cursing the bank holiday weekend, it should arrive today.
funkus, I presume you are running linux of some description and probably Ubuntu, yes?
If that is the case, there are heaps of different threads on the various forums which have information on how to synch with WM5. All of them involve the tools mentioned in the post you directed me to, although there are a couple of tools out there which involve KDE and so on. From what I can see, I should be able to get things going nicely and I think if you follow the instructions, you should manage ok to get Evolution all synched up. Couple of useful threads for you though:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86302&highlight=synce
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936
and the synCE wiki page: http://www.synce.org/index.php/SynCE-Wiki
Both the threads and the wiki are incredibly useful for working out whether you can or you can't synch with your linux box. Unfortunately, with my rx1950, I can't. It just will not play at all, actually crashes both the ipaq and the computer.
Thanks for the welcome and good luck with those exams funkus!

I've just done a review of the HTC Kaiser (O2 XDA Stellar)
Looking for some feedback - What else should I include? Any ideas to help flesh it out a little? Anything you don't agree with?

Big thanks to this site as it has made using my Kaiser an enjoyable experience!!!

Please don't take this the wrong way but is this a joke or have you made a mistake as the link url results in nothing.
Oooops
Your dead right. Apologies - link is now fixed!

Nice site, nice video's, I like it!
You do realise you will get swamped with a certain vociferous lobby don't you?
Keep on top of it guy...
Interesting!
One thing you might like to add (and know yourself) is that the latest version of Google Maps should allow enough time to get a GPS fix from a cold start, without the need for any other apps. It works fine for me anyway.

Just tried using G-maps here for the first time, normally use Garmin.
Very impressed, as you say, G-Maps does not seem to utilise Quick-GPS for a fast lock but once locked, it is totally weird to watch a photographic image of the roads you are on, even if they are a couple of years old (I can live with that!!).
Does anyone know of a good SNES emulator for the TyTn II? I have already searched the forums and have found that most of the posts about this subject are quite dated. I am currently using PocketSnes by Bleeding edge, but the sound on this emulator is of poor quailty. Also, for some reason, this seems to run remarkably better on my Mogul? I have downloaded different versions of this software, apparently 'upgrades' and they do have more game compatibility, but they sacrifice alot of FPS (about 5, but when your only getting 30 FPS, 5 is alot.). SnesJ4U also seemed like a good alternative, and the sound on it is beautiful, the problem is, iirc, that it doesnt allow for a boxed-landscape display. Does anyone know of a good, up-to-date emulator that can hit over 35 FPS on a TyTN II, not overclocked and running the previous HTC ROM (the one before WM 6.1) and run in boxed-landscape mode?

The reason threads regarding this topic are dated is because people read them and don't find a need to post a new thread. CLICK HERE
No offence, but that search link was the exact thing I searched for and it didnt help much. And your post, by the way, does not seem to make sense.
People say not to make new threads if there is already an existing thread about a subject. By your logic, if a subject has no thread made about it, then it is not important. Should people just never make new threads? This has only now become a problem because the older emulators do not seem to run well on current HTC phones for some reason, in fact, alot of my programs seem slower. I was wondering if there are any newer alternatives yet and since I have found no information about that from the search function, I figured it was worth posting about. But, anyways, thanks for your help.

Damn... you get 25 FPS?? I'm using MorphGear... and although i don't have a fps counter, i think i'm having less than 14.
Anyhow... at least with morphgear.. although the sound is great (16bit, 44100khz, stereo, interpolated, echoed etc) the speed sucks. even if i disable sound completly... the speed sucks. tried with SM All Stars, and Chrono Trigger.

If you post in a existing thread it brings it to the front of the line...
Actually, im getting around ~30 FPS average, ~20 FPS in some of the slower parts of games and shooting to ~40 in faster parts (with minimal action). Most of these tests have been done with Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, They were run when I completely disabled sound though. I also recommend against using n0p's Snes ports. I dont mean any offence to him, but his roms seem to be a trade-off in performance for compatibility. Im running my emus on an AT&T Tilt with a 5200 chipset, I have a 5201 it runs the games about ~1-2 FPS faster on average, nothing amazing. I thought that by now there would be a better (updated) version of PocketSnes that could emulate sound like on Snes9xJ4U. I still have to try running them with another ROM, but im not flashing my device till next week (long story).
I got my current emulator here http://paqpark.nuclearfallout.net/projects/pocketsnes.php
snesx9j4u would be awesome if you could get to play in landscape but is not as compatible as morphgear and as far as speed you to use shogunmarks rom of death no offense to anyone else that cooks but for me that rom is definitely faster that the others. once again i totally respect and appreciate all the people
here at xda developers with out them my tilt would be useless
cook pocketsnes into a ROM
Thanks for the tip, neva dinova, I will try out that rom first thing next week and see how everything runs.

this is not that he is saying, and if you're assuming this is so, i dont think you understand the etiquette of this or any other forum. What he is saying is if someone posted a topic that says "how to i accomplish A" its bad for you, or anyone else to come in after the fact and make another post with the subject of "how do i accomplish A" version 2. all this is doing is polluting the boards, and creating a lot of excess material that comes up when people actually do lengthy and thorough searches.
If that still doesn't make sense, when person 3 finally comes around as is going to search for the same topic, they're going to find not 1, but 2 topics. now imagine if, on some subjects this were multiplied by 2,3,4,5 or even 10 as far as the search results. it kinda makes searching more time consuming an redundant. Even if you're having some problems w/ a newer version of roms, or newer version of NES emulators, STILL post it in the FIRST topic...all related material should always be in the same post...always
Again, I searched and found nothing. How can you guys not understand that? Its people like you that ruin forums. I am asking a valid question that has not been brought up before and allinstead of actually helping or adding to the conversation you just make useless posts about the search function which I USED IN THE FIRST PLACE. But, if you can prove to me that I used the search function incorrectly by providing me a link to a thread where a topic about this subject has already been created I will admit that im wrong and your right.
i'm not saying you didn't search buddy...but judging by the way you reacted to an above poster, and judging by what you posted in your above post. you didn't understand the guidelines as far as posting. regardless, if you had any questions, you would have been better off first making your reply in the exiting thread, then started a new topic if no replies were made. thats all i'm saying
Okay, I know what your saying, and for the last time, I SEARCHED before posting. Not only that, but I found somone asking the same (or at least a similar) question that I just asked in a thread with a different topic, however, no one has responded to him so far and its been a good half year. I think I had the right to create a new thread on this topic.
I dont understand what problem some people have where whenever somone makes a new thread, they almost s*** themsleves if its not relavant to them.
So explain to me how I did not follow the 'posting guidlines'?
allright there blood? no need to worry anymore- not all of us are moddie-wanna-be... (no offence, but...)
so imho the best one is: http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES

See the problem with what you're saying is...... YOU! Amazing huh? Why not reconsider the fact that not all of us are as "Tech Savy" as you... and not nearly as ignorant. Also, let's consider that he came to a DEVELOPER FORUM for help. You know the place where people trade ideas and software. So, let's all take a quick life lesson from this... If you don't have anything useful to provide, leave it alone. Just because we're 12 and Mommy and Daddy bought us a nice little PC and a cool phone and are too negligent to pay attention to the Bovine Fecal Matter that the little "Monkey" has managed to spread on the internet, doesn't mean the rest of the world wishes to hear your ignorance.
Now, Numb Nuts over here was right about one thing... Google. Search google for "SNES" "NES". The best I've found is PocketNester but it doesn't support Landscape mode which is a little disappointing. (Mario Bros looks awful in Portrait haha)
Second do a search for some of you're favorite games and save all of this in a folder on you're comp.
Using the Date Cable out of the box you can do one of two things.
First plug in the cable and either select Active Sync or Disk Drive.
Disk Drive is a little more convenient but only works with a MicroSD inserted.
Disk Drive - Drag and drop your folder of games on to the phone.
Active Sync - Once its connected, select Tools - Explore Pocket PC on your comp and Drag and Drop directly in to the phone.
Unplug and Navigate to the File Explorer. (Start-Programs-Tools- File Explorer) Select the Nester Cab and install it to the device. Open the Nester Program and the rest should be self explanatory from there.
Good Luck.
Does anyone have any suggestion for a way to control emulators? The keyboard gets the job done, but it's far from great, any suggestions for an external controller? Someone in another thread mentioned using a PS3 controller over bluetooth as a possibility, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done yet.

Ok, the operational/usable emulators I have working:
PocketNESter Plus - this version was made specifically for the Dash and other landscape screens. Works perfectly on every HTC I've owned 'cept the G1 (for obvious reasons). I'm using it on an excalibur, a tilt, and a raphael as we speak.
PocketSNES: this one takes too much horsepower for the Excalibur, but the others run it fine..one problem here is that I've been unable to get sound working as of yet..tho this is really a minor problem for most games.
I'll be trying more soon

Sorry my friend, I've tried every form of control I can think of and only the keyboard is truly usable. It takes some getting used to, but you'll get it.
oh i see what about picodrive?
Look the creator of this post does have some good reasons to aliens a better emulator. I was able to run pocketnester however I was not able to get pocketSNES to run on my Raphael. I tried for about 5 hours to find a vga compatible snes. I found many links to vga emulators, N0p and Tila builds, however those links were down. The pocketsnes emulator developers website is down. I found one build called SNES9x for PPC Ver .41. This ran Chrono Trigger pretty well with sound. However this program has no onscreen game pad and does not register my hardware buttons. However there is a fix that makes your wm6 run or emulate an older hardware keyboard setting. So the real question would be does anyone have a working vga snes? If you got the original PocketSNES to work that would be passable. I was hoping to get the OpenGL version. I googled and googled.
yea i tried downloading pocketnester but for some reason it would not find my roms or load them up its kinda confusing

lol. mistaken post.
I made this, and I am stuck at naming it. It works absolutely great, but lacks a name and thus a domain. To get things going and move to something else, I'll give 25$ via Paypal to whoever names this one.

I don't have any ideas, just wanted to say I liked the idea. I use Opera and have numerous searches set up but I've always hated how other browsers lack this function, so this would definately be handy as a default search for lesser browsers.
Thought about writing a federated search file for searching from the desktop too?
