Can you give me a link where i can find this tombraider, i am a fanatic.

i found the link on google searching for tombraider pda
http://www.tombraidertogo.com
hope it's the right one

---

Just discovered the lack of buttons, I am going to try the different key controls A B C, have you tried those yet? I was hoping the save/pause button is remapped. Will let you know.

---

All keys are available
use the contacts and calender buttons and the rec button for the above mentioned functions.
The game is almost a direct port - with the exception of no multiple key presses - so you cant make Lara do that handstand climb manouever.
I am glad that I never played the game originally on the playstation - so I am slowly trying to complete it for the first time.
4 months in and I am only up to level 5!!!!!

I remember I installed the game, but I had to take it out, because the only way that I could quit the game was resetting the machine, how do you quit?

---

Jayman are you using a xda?
I cannot access the menu or quit too.

---

Nope neither can I, how do you map those buttons to save/pause etc, as the man said, the only way out is a soft reset.

---

Right:::
I use control config A.
Flip screen left and toggle off both running and walking.
Within the game, all soft buttons(ie those on screen) should work as advertised.
D pad -directs Lara
calender - gets out current weapon.
contacts - fires or actions.
record/volume button - accesses menu.
In the menu u can go up and down 3 levels
Inventory - here are your weapons medipaks compass, press the soft select to use a medipak (Lara will groan) or to change weapon.
Above that is Items where you keep anything you have found.
The bottom screen is the options where if you select 'game' you have the option to load or save a game. You can also exit to the title screen.
Then from the title screen you use the same option to exit back to TODAY.
I have also found that if i press one of the phone buttons - it exits imediately without the need for a soft or hard reset and when you restart the game providing you have not hard or soft reset, you are exactly where you left the game.
Hope this all makes sense and is of help to you. If this does not work for you it may be the OS you are running or some software that is providing a conflict. This all worked on original OS and SE1.2 but I have not upgraded to WM2003 yet. If you have any other software that has the rec/volume button mapped - this may be the conflict to prevent you getting to the menus.
Good luck and Good Raiding.
Jayman.
(PS - I never enjoyed single player games on console or PC - always prefered to beat someone in the room - but it is great on a mobile platform when caught out with time to kill - yet would not carry a handheld - so this game is a godsend hence earlier post - MORE PLEASE)

Thanks Jayman.
The copy I am testing is probably a demo :wink:

guys a bit tarded :|
D pad -directs Lara
calender - gets out current weapon.
contacts - fires or actions.
record/volume button - accesses menu.

Not quite accurate.
I haven't tried the Volume button on Tomb Raider specifically, but there are plenty of games that allows you to use the volume button.
Between the ones I can remember are:
Motocross Stunt Racing, Morphgear emulator, Darxide EMP, etc.

---

i got the full version of tombraider and i could never get the medipk and options up to exit i had to soft reset :\ even when i remaped buttons it dont work for volume :|

---

Well pressing volume or any of the phone buttons does nothing.

---

Jayman, are you using an XDA, the phone buttons on mine do zilch, I cannot quit or get a menu once I have started a game.

---

Yeah I am using the XDA.
I did nothing special when I loaded it on so I can not see how yours would be different - unless you have mapped the buttons in another application that could be affecting it?
Try reinstalling and make sure all apps are closed right down before booting. Also - shouldn't make a difference - but i usually turn the phone off before playing games.
Jayman.

I have spent ages with this, without success, there is no menu at the foot of the screen, just have left/right arrows bottom right, and the movement icons, the volume key does nothing, neither of the phone keys red/green does anything.

---

i told you it didnt work but no one listened :| only way to exit is soft reset

i wonder why... i have an emulator, that emulates an old computer of mine, (colecovision ADAM), and IT allows me to map all 5 buttons to play the ADAM roms. hmmm
im sure its just a programing glitch.
i installed the game, great graphics.. but its too sufisticated for me
i like arcade cames, like TURJAH II, SIBERIAN STRIKE X and such.
