chess vga cab for diamond

[polllux]

Hi,

Does any 1 have that chess vga game version for the diamond in a cab maybe ?

I've seen it cooked into a few recent diamond roms, but I can't seem to find a cab of it anywhere in the board/ archives/ searching etc...

Can any 1 help out please :confused: :( ;)

any ideas maybe its corrupted or something ? ;)

foiled

/shakes fist

I figured that would happen. I am in the midst of cooking and don't have a rom on my diamond to test, so I couldn't verify before I replied with the link.

I just downloaded the exe, which ran successfully and deposited a cab on my phone. That cab was also 242k, installed successfully, but also gave me the error ... probably because I don't have dot net framework installed.

let me do that and get back to you.

Drat ...

no joy !!

I used to have a vogue and when I switched to a VGA device, I went out and got the VGA cab of Chess, but didn't have a chance to use it.

I'm a little bit bummed.

Sorry ...

Ok,

I was messing about with sys/xip of 20924 & 20931 ... just to be sure, I flashed my stock sprint rom 19965 and the vga cab installs and the chess application works fine.

So, this may be something with later versions of WM6.1 ??

Just flashed a fellow cooks 20940 rom and installed the chess cab (VGA) and it ran perfectly fine.

well that cab i downloaded a few times & copied it to the diamond internal storage & to its device area, on all attemps to install it always gives that same message "installation of chess was unsuccessful", im using rom : TIR V9.1 WWE.

I cant really see it being a rom issue but you never know, only way we'll know is if any1 else can help out then with a vga chess cab for me ;)

Pocket Grandmaster and Pocket Fritz run fine but not freeware

I'd prefer freeware.

This file is damaged, that's why you can't install it.

Download the app from aruppenthal, it contains chess, + a lot of other arcade games. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464758:D

You can use old chess for PPC, working great on my Diamond:

I found this one:

http://www.zanchetta.net/CEBoard/

It looks good and playing rather decently. You can install different engines and do analysis. Good thing, gonna stick for it by now.


arix thx for link, will look at it too.
