This is an extremely useful thread - and long overdue! :) Here are some more emulators that seem to run okay on the Dash. You can find them on the emulation thread, but I figured this would be a good place for them as well. You will also need to get the "tget" cab installed in order to use some of these. Find it here: http://tillanosoft.com/ce/tgetfile.html ... Also note that Gnuboy does not play in fullscreen, there is no fix for it (But it's free!). Stella is an Atari 2600 emulator, Gnuboy emulates gameboy, and Picodrive is for Genesis. The other titles are more self-explanatory.

Dunno if the plan was to stick with free software...
but, as long as I saw some non-free downloads up there,
these are pretty good options:

Atkesoft webcam 2.0 - turn your dash into a webcam!
http://www.4shared.com/file/90323632/61fa5923/AteksoftWebCam20.html

KeePass - keep your passwords safe, and keep them with you everywhere you go :)

MusicID - remember that Motorola app, that recognizes the music you're listening to?

PPC PIM backup - this is one of the most usefull things :p back up your contacts/sms/taks/call logs and more

Vieka Wordpad - simple text editor, fast 'n easy

Registry editor - helps you to solve that buggy windows problems

thank you

what is the best free aim instant messenger application. Where you cant set and look at others away messages and it doesnt show that your using a mobile device? I already tried nimbuz and the main windows mobile aim but that app is very heavy and tends to move slow and freeze. Anyone have any suggestions? Anything close to the sidekick aim?

plaringo or slick, they both work well on the dash.

Try OZ Instant Messenger (although I dont remember if it shows the messages or not), if you cant find it Ill post it tomarrow if I still have it, or look for it in the first post I made on the first page in the first link.

    I'm addicted to flashing. But I like my apps. Ive collected some good ones, and I hope that this thread is useful. I had always wished that there would be a central place that I could look at for quality apps for the Excalibur. I will try to get the .cab files on this post, but for now all download links are in descriptions:


    Web Browsers:

    Opera Mini: The most functional internet browser for the Excalibur. the .cab file(s) is attached in the 2nd post on this thread.

    Skyfire: Better web browser, plays flash. Slow on the Excalibur no matter which ROM you use :( Official site here.

    Bolt Browser: Currently in open beta, is a Java program and works like Opera Mini, but based on webkit. Worth a try if you are looking for something new. Official site here.


    Communication:

    Windows Live: An essential, allows push email if you have a Hotmail or lLve account. Offical site here.

    Facebook: Is a good application that runs smoothly. My only gripe with it is that the feeds are not pushed to the application. Instead if you want to find something out, you have to refresh it. You can upload pictures, videos, update status, comment on other's, etc. I have the .cab attached or it is here

    Tiny Twitter: The best twitter client for our phone. Official site here.

    Palringo: My favorite IM application. Does all the typical IM services, but also Facebook! Awesome. Official site here.

    Fring: Another decent IM software. I prefer Palringo. But if your taste differs, official site is here.

    Skype: Fun, useful and saves minutes if you pay. You can send texts for free through it though. A defeinite plus. Official site here.


    Entertainment:

    Kinoma FreePlay: An excellent media application. Although it does use quite a bit of memory- its All-In-One aspect justifies its use of RAM. It plays your music, photos, and video... But you can also access YouTube, stream radio stations, Flickr, you name it! Kinoma FreePlay is free but the upgraded version, Kinoma Play is $30. Official site is here, its worth checking out.

    SmartGear: The best emulator for windows mobile. Plays Sega Genesis, Gamegear, NES, GBC. It is free to try, $10 to buy. Official site here.

    Pocket Nester Plus: Free, but not as good as SmartGear. Only plays NES games. Find to download here.

    Kevtris: Best Tetris game for windows mobile in my opinion. Download here.

    Pandora: Update New pandora .cab tested and working good on WM 6.5 EVO 2.0 Naturally works best with WiFi since the Dash has no 3G. The .cab is attached to this post.

    TCPMP: The most versatile, and free media player. Will play almost anything you throw at it (like a vlc for windows mobile). You can download either here or here with extra codec support.


    Navigation/Search:

    Google Maps Mobile: Best mapping application for our phone. Official site here.

    Bing: If you are familiar with Windows Live Search, this is it- rebranded. It is useful. Official site here.


    Backup:

    Microsoft MyPhone: Backs up your texts, media, contacts. Overall useful application if you don't go for Dashwire. Official site here.

    Dashwire: Free, like Microsoft's MyPhone, it is a backup of contacts, pictures, videos, etc. But then from online you can send texts from your phone. Its cool. Again, .cab is attached but official site is here


    Organization:

    Microsoft Recite: Stores voice memos and can look them up via your own speech. Surprisingly useful. Worth a try. Official site here.


    EDIT: There are lots of members contributing to this thread with lots of other great applications. Please read through the comments below because there is some great stuff to find here!

    If you feel like I have missed an application, please post it and share!
    If you like this thread, please say it. I (think) I'm doing good by posting this thread and making newcomers, or more experienced users, lives easier.

    Has anyone come across a good stopwatch app? Thanks.


    This is a very good stopwatch. You can track multiple times at the same time.
