Working Games and game related questions...please post here

[tomchap]

I dont normally play games on me mobile but things have changed since I got my SPV3100 and now my Ameo!

Was thinking we could start a list with useful links of games that actually work on the ameo.

Ive managed to find a classic, wolfenstein 3d, its a complete port and it runs really well!

I was wondering tho if anyone can get Quake or Doom working. (found hpc doom but it crashes at the very start, looks like it would work but doesnt)

What games do you guys have working on your Athena?

Managed to get doom working fine.

Heres where you need to go to download the program, it runs in Portrait at the moment but works smoothly nonetheless.

Keys:

Joystick - Directional Control
Tap at the bottom half of the screen / Comm Manager Button - Fire
If you want to exit, click the X in the top right, then Press the camera button. Once in the main menu, move down to exit game and then press the camera button again.

You need to have the DOOM1.wad file (read the readme file that comes with the program from explainations)

Very nice!

Have fun!

My personal favourites are

SPB Brain Evolution (although it infuriates me!)
SPB Air Islands (the game sucks, but it has some cool minigames and it's VGA!)

ScummVM is a must! Its free, you just have to get the game files. There are even some free games.

Favourites of mine, Sam 7 Max, Simon the Sourcerer, Day of the Tentacle

It works, but you have problems starting it up. Start with the pda in portrait mode, and fumble your way around to the options menu to get to graphics settings and turn on the 2x doubling. Once thats done it works fine from then on.

Managed to get PicoDrive working altho all the keys are messed up because of the screen orientation, it seems to get the joystick confused, and makes UP left and DOWN right for some reason, still looks good on the Ameo tho! :)

Keep em coming!

Thanks for the games so far :)

Gotta agree with you on Spb Brain Evo ;)..simply the nuts. I also like the 'Real Dice' ensemble of games like;

Real Dice Mahjong
Real Dice Dominos
Real Dice Sudoku Master II......all are in high quality genuine VGA. They look and play really well. :)

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (2.0 beta) works perfectly (just remember to set the phone to portrait view before starting). Now with the "original" music sounds! :)

SIM Coupe (SAM Coupe emulator) works okay if you start in Portrait mode with only the "keyboard" menu being present as a glitch. (I thought I'd posted about Pocket Commodore Plus/4, too, which works but is PAINFULLY slow sometimes).

[RichardKAthena]

For bought games, Broken Sword (Astraware) demo looks very very promising indeed; it rotated the screen correctly and looks very pretty, and appears to be playing at the correct speed.

Hi
This is my first post so hope im doing this ok.
I am thinking of getting one of there phones as a friend has one.
I currently have a hermes and all is ok, the problem is that the athena is lacking in buttons on the front that are needed to play games, like "fire" in worms for example.
none of the keyboard buttons seem to work.
Is there a way round this?
thanks
Sean.

I have the same trouble, Worms in X7500 only admit two buttons and the game requires three buttons to work correctly.

Can someboy modify the wwpsave.dat as somebody did for the HTC Touch to make the x7500 buttons workable for this game???

Thank you.
