Hi,
I'm running Dosbox on my Vario III (having followed a guide on these forums). It is very slow. I can run Ultima IV at a snail's pace, and later games (1990 onwards) - games with graphics to be honest - are totally unplayable.
This didn't seem to tally with how fast everyone else says Dosbox is. I tried another program called pocketdos, which manages to run Ultima 6, a much more cpu-intensive game at full speed etc. (but without sound because it doesn't emulate sound...)
So I'm concluding that Dosbox should be going a lot faster but isn't managing it on my phone. Any idea what the problem could be?
Another problem with Dosbox is that pressing the function or caps key quits the program, which means you don't have full run of the keyboard
Thanks,
ive tried dosbox on my kaiser and it was slow, but i think youl find it slow on most devices actually, i think its just a slow program?
Which version of DOSBox did you use?
I've just found n0p's edition of DOSBox v0.63 at http://n0p.tonych.info/?DOSBox_PPC
I doubt it will run good on anything newer than games from 1993-1994 though, but as long as it's not 3D games or anything, it should be worth a try
Yes, it's n0p's version that you shoudl try (see my related Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...MS-)DOS (80x86) programs under Windows Mobile ) . But I've been reported it too is slow like hell on the Kaiser.
All in all, the Kaiser isn't a gaming / MM device...
Well I've already ran Legends of Kyrandia and it is flawless. The mouse pointer emulation is a little funky, but the game is fine. n0p did include some tips to get faster speeds:
1. Do not try to run "modern" games. Games released before 1993 should run OK.
2. Use core=verysimple setting where possible. But if you need full 386 emulation, use core=full.
3. Don't set cycles larger then 1000-2000.
4. Play with frameskip - 3-5 is OK for almost every game.
5. Overclock your processor (use XCPUScalar or similar). But use with care
6. If there's any GAPI "tweakers" for your PDA - use them.

And just a note; I haven't done steps 5 and 6 and it still runs great.
Hi, I think that almost everyone want to play some game on his phone. So, I will test some of them, and post here results, and problems. Most of all, I test demos or freeware games, so actually full game results may by different. I hope this will be helpfull for you.
ofcourse it will be helpfull
thx
So, I prepared some games to test, I will test them later becouse I am still serching info about two PDAMill games. These games are Snails Reloaded (just QVGA) and Anthelion 2 (QVGA and VGA version). For some reason, these games runs much slower on Diamond than on brother´s Asus P535 when its CPU is set to 200MHz! Yes, 200MHz outperform in these games our 528MHZ one. I assume that this is due to incompatibility with WM 6.1. But it is strange. On PDA Mill site, they say that WM 6 is supported. Maybe WM 6.1 or combination of WM 6.1 + VGA is the problem. I dont know. Yes, you can run these games, but at speed of snail. Firts I thought that maybe transform from QVGA to VGA is the problem, but Anthelion 2 has VGA version too, and this VGA version was as laggy as QVGA version. If you think that Anthleion is 3D game, and Diamond maybe just cannot handle 3D, it is wrong. Even menu in this game is stupidly laggy, concretelly transtions in menu. And Snails Reloaded act just like Anthelion 2, and they are just 2D game. But I forgott that VS Bench on our devices is very good 2500+ points, that this isnt due to slow Diamond CPU. (VS Bench of Asus P535 is in 520 MHz mode 2300 points and on 200 MHz mode only about 1000 and it still outperform Dimand) .
So, for now I can say that you can play these games, but prepare yourself for laggy game experience.
Next game I tried is Duke Nukem 3D - this is even worst - becouse you can not even run it. After loading, screen goes black, and you must restart it. This is bad news, becouse I liked Duke Nukem 3D on PC, and I played it a lot on my previous WM 5 phone. This game doesent like VGA or WM 6.1.
And for now last one: Call Of Duty mobile. This nice 3D Game runs great, you will get even better framerate than previously mentioned Asus P535 in 520 MHz mode. Still, this game is not smooth, but definattely playable. First game which runs on Diamond slightly better than on P535 (520MHZ adjustable CPU).
More games speed and copatibility info will be here soon.
Nice work keep it up , may want to put them in a list format , with links to the games as well
For ref Age of Empires Gold Edition, Works fine on the Diamond
One question: Where can I buy a licence key to have a full verion of Age of Empires Gold Edition?
Fred
Yes, I know. For now, I will add games just as new replys, but I will make some list in future, when more games will be tested. I can add links, if you want, but remember that most apps I am testing are demo versions, but some freeware will be there too.
Has anyone tried bejeweled 2 yet? I don't wanna install mines until my screen protector arrives!!

Did you contact the developer? It's working just greta on all my other VGA devices, incl. WM6.1 ones - that is, it must be incompatible with the Qualcomm chipset.
Double post - bad connection - sorry
Pocket Heroes - works great
Leomnade Inc.- works but can't get pass the beginning menu
Tombraider - seems to work, as I can't get pass the menu because of missing hardware buttons
Lemmings 1.0 - the screen is black but I can hear the music
Asphalt 3d - runs on 1/5 of the screen
Worms - work great but luck of hw buttons (can't shot, jump and so one)
Houseofdead 3d - works but slow
Poket Quake - shows menu but the game is blank window
Transport Tycoon - stucks on loading screen

is that 3D_Asphalt_3.jar ? under Jblend v3.2.8 20061016c, it ran full screen on VGA; see the compatibility chart in my MIDlet Bible.
no it's PPC game (*.cab)
Hi Pokvitek, May be the reason for not working / poorly working games on Diamond compared to other (older) VGA devices is that the Games are developed for Open GL processing whereas our Diamond has seperate Qtc processing (the 3D accelerator chip)...
Can anyone put more light on this??
Anyone use or know of a good NES emulator. I would kill to have mario, master blaster, etc on my diamond.
thanks
If anyone would like to have an really good Lemmings Port, look here:
CAB: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~zeppenfe/files/PocketLemmings.cab
If problems occured with moved grafics or similar, then exchange this .EXE: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~zeppenfe/files/LemmingsCE.exe
YouTube Movie: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=11_bG6--h6U
Level AddOns ZIP: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~zeppenfe/files/LemPack_Custom.zip
Thats the first Port ive seen, that leans on the original game, with full levels from "Lemmings" and "Oh No More Lemmings". All you really need, is the "main.dat" file from your (hopefully ) original Lemmings...
I dont know, I personally think that Open GL is not the issue. Anyway, some games dont work due to WM 6.1, some due to VGA, and some due to problem that nobody knows. Qualcomm chipset has ARM 11 operation CPU, so this should not be problem. About Skyforce, I have not a solution, but an idea. I found something interesting. We all know spb benchmark, and with new ROM Diamond has in graphics about 1600 points. This bench can not use Hardware acceleration, so this must be result of just 528 MHz Main CPU. Now, point is that i thought that Diamond grapics index is low due to WM 6.1, but I found other phones running WM 6.1, and they had graphics index about 3000, with 400MHZ CPU. So, I was sad, becous it seemed that Diamond is just piece of crap. THEN I found something interesting, graphic index of IPaQ 214 - WM 6.1 VGA device, with 624 MHz Marvell Monahan 310 CPU. His grphic index was about 1600 too. So, device of this strenght, like IpaQ 214 definnetelly is, should outperform Diamond. So, I guess, that there is something. I dont know what, but I am sure that is.

WORMS: there is a patch available to assign the sound up and sound down buttons to jump and backflip. then evrything works
NES emulators do not work properly because the lack of hardware buttons. the onscreen buttons do not work very well.
Hey everyone!
I'm new to Remix OS Player. I tried to run in on my Windows computer, it starts up, but it is extremely slow. I didn't expect it to be honest. Just the system itself is not responsive, input is very delayed, I can barely navigate on the desktop.
My computer is not the best, but I expected a lot better speed. It is unusable for me right now.
My PC:
-Asus B150M-Plus
-Intel i5 6402P @ 2.80 GHz
-Kingston 1x8 GB DDR4 RAM
-nVidia GTX 750 1GB
same problem here. Entire OS is slow but 3D graphics running OK. CSR2 with high graphics running great
Custom build computer
CPU: i7 4770k
GPU: GTX 960, 4GB
RAM: 24GB
OS: Windows 10

Try launching in debugging mode
same to me, very slow and buggy, audio not working, i installed it on flashdrive 16 Go
for example to open a folder and choose one Apk and install it, takes about 7 or 8 min

Try using on hard drive which read/write speed. Also I am not sure but using OS or OS emulator/player on FlashDrive degrades its life.
Application runs OK, shows toolbar, but there's only a black screen!!!
Any HELP???
My System: ASUS FX553VD - Intel core i7 7700HQ - 16GB DDR4 RAM - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 4GB
I had a similar problem with one of the desktop PC's at home, it works fine on my laptop and on another desktop (my media center) but not on one machine which I use for all my office stuff. I suspect its a graphics card issue. But I could be wrong. I couldnt even get it to work in VMware on the office PC. To be honest I gave up on that pc and simply used it on my other three devices no problem. Its especially good when running on a HP X2 11 when using remix os pc not player and installled to a removeable SD which enables me to swap it onto any compatable machine easily.

Install android studio. I had exactly same situation and after installing android studio remix os player works as it should. Google "android studio".
