Hi guys, I'd like to introduce a DOSBox emulator port for Windows Phone 8.1 & up.
I developed this app more than half an year ago but final release "polishing" was on hold because of many reasons. However, I think that the app "as is" (btw, it's works and works fine!) published in the store is much better than no app at all so I decided to publish it
What is the "DOSBox" and how to use it, you may read on the official website; shortly: you can run good old DOS games (or other apps!), built for x86 CPU, on your Windows Phone.
Screenshots:
Classic Sierra's quests are working fine; Wolf 3D (for DOS) also playable. He-he, you can run Windows 3.1 on your phone too
I recommend to use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work with emulator. Camera button toggles "turbo-mode" of emulator (sometime is very useful), you can change this binding in settings. WP standard "back" key bound to the keyboard "Esc".
BTW, app has virtual keyboard and joystick; mouse is emulated via touch screen. Now mouse emulation has two modes, absolute and relative.
absolute mouse mode: moves mouse pointer on virtual screen and emulates left button click by phone screen tap. Very simple but still useful in some old DOS games and definitely in DOS programs working in the text mode.
relative mouse mode: to move mouse pointer, touch & hold phone screen and move your finger; mouse should move relative to your finger movements. To emulate left mouse click - tap the screen, double-click - double-tap. To emulate right mouse click, hold & release finger. To move mouse with left mouse button pressed - hold for a little and start moving your finger on the screen. So, this mode simulates (at least, is trying too) a standard notebook touch-pad behavior
How to work with the app:
install app
connect phone to PC
create folder dosbox (or whatever) on the phone or sd-card memory. On W10M you may create folder at the root; on WP8.1 create your folder inside any public folders (Pictures, Documents etc.)
launch the app and choose folder; after synchronization it will be your virtual drive "c:". Later, you need to synchronize this folder manually after adding or deleting apps & data.
If you don't want to use PC, I strongly recommend you to use "Total Commander" app! You can easily open and unpack archives with old DOS games and programs to your virtual "drive c:" folder.
Currently, "DOSBox" don't support Continuum ('cause it's a WP8.1 UWP, not W10M app), but you are still able to see old DOS stuff on the large screen (thanks @dxdy for the instruction!)
first connect to DD (Display Dock) or Miracast. now on TV show normal Continuum desktop.
now in Continuum app on phone or from Continuum desktop or phone select display settings. select "Connected display" if not. on bottom of display settings select "Advanced settings"
select "Mirror what's on my device" (but don't use back arrow for close!!! just select Mirror option and don't touch anything for now)
now on TV screen display change from Continuum to phone screen
if not change disconnect and reconnect USB cable
if changed press windows key to back to start screen
Now on TV screen show mirrored phone screen!
If you want switch back repeat all and select "Use different apps on each screen"
If you experiencing problems with mouse movements (mouse movements in the game are limited to some part of the screen, you can't move mouse to the lower right corner), please try this workaround found by @rcmolina: download Microsoft's mouse driver for DOS (mouse.exe) and run it before game (or add to autoexec section of dosbox.conf).
App become paid now ($1.99) but still has a free trial version, with some functionality limitation.
URL for W10M: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4q6j8
URL for Windows Phone 8.1: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=ab937773-d667-43df-984e-1237fc28e860
Enjoy, and "have a nice DOS"
"Esc" Key
I miss the ESC Key in the on-screen control. There are a lot of DOS games that used that key to "escape" the game or to go to the configuration screen.
In any case, the application is great. I've been able to play some old dos games .
"Esc" key is already bound to the standard WP back key (back arrow), especially because of this key importance in the old DOS games
Can we mount and boot OS images?
NC Commander... few days ago i find it on old disk
any chance for better mouse support in game? is working but not very good... in Warcraft 2 in game mouse move (work) only in 25% area (top left area of screen)
@dxdy, it's a really hard to properly emulate mouse via touch screen. I did some tricks but maybe not properly (already saw Android's DosBox Turbo code but it won't work properly on WP). For now, I may recommend you to use BT mini-mouse or mini-touchpad - it will work good (already tried).
Thx but not ask for mouse via touch, ask for bt mouse
Hmm, you are really confused me, man Before your post I believed on 100% that the real mouse should work absolutely fine (actually, I've tested it on Win3.1, Win95, Win98 and some games and have no problems at all).
Looks like a Warcraft 2 have some different mouse handling... Could you please PM me a link to your your zipped files or image to test?
P.S. BTW, you don't need to send me a files: I've found, installed and tested WC2; can confirm, mouse isn't working properly... As for me it looks like badly supported SVGA mode. I've added issue to my list but now (sorry) have a couple more important issues to fix.
no problem is not important... can be on last place of bucket list to fix it
if anyone want try, ISO and RIP version are available on www.myabandonware.com
notice for rip version: rename long folder name to "war2", also if you use some other folders tree, change settings in war2.ini file
problem
lumia 640XL windows 10mobile mouse touchpad not work correctly (settlers2)...
@tynyczech, what is the touchpad model (or what do you mean by "mouse touchpad" - phone's screen?). Please be more specific - what does it mean "correctly"?
Sorry, I don't have time to test specific games (there are lot of games for DOS!), I'm very busy with programming.
"Good news, everyone!" (c) Professor Farnsworth
@dxdy, I've fixed your issue with dirty but (I hope so) quick and effective hack; new version already on the certification (version 1.3.0) He-he, probably you'll need no bt mouse anymore to play WC2
Also fixed bt keyboard bug (code was ruined somehow), now it works pretty fine except tab key, I should press twice
P.S. And thank you for donation! However it's not absolutely necessarily: I'm glad to help my good old xda friends and industry enthusiasts
no problem, beer (money) is not a donation
edit:
updated and new version work great! mouse working fine
@dxdy, could you please try to play without mouse (using just a touch screen)? As for me, it works fine but I don't know how to play WC (I was a doom, quake, qII, arena player only)

touch working in game but must play with mouse because in 1995. touch screen commands was SciFi, is much easier to contrl and give commands with mouse. only no sound in game (for example Warcraft 1 have sound)
btw, on old WM 2003/2005, Warcraft 2 was ported (Wargus) and worked fine with touch (pen)...
I downloaded Warcraft 2 demo here; after installing game and configuring sound card, I'm getting sound (or maybe music only?) in game, and emulated mouse is working fine at least on the game menu
P.S. BTW, I've committed another small update: now you can import/export your dosbox.conf file (and have many configs for experiments!), and see actual app version on the settings page.
Today is a really good day, I do have another great news!
I fixed very weird M$ bug on copying large (>1GB) files (StorageFile::CopyAsync always fails on copying large - 1GB or more - files). Google knows nothing about chunked file copying on C++/CX & PPL and I had a hard time (definitely don't like unresolved issues). But today I was lucky and found a great workaround
So, now you can copy and mount large hdd images with a lot of pre-installed good old games (I believe, size is limited by your phone memory or sd-card free space only ). But please use for copying and mounting large files "mount images" option from menu only! I didn't touch home folder synchronization code for now.
Also added some small but useful changes. So please try new version 1.4.0 and tell me how it goes
today i will try setup, not rip version..
if you want check video

yeah problem was in RIP version. sound in setup version work fine (during setup in test not play sound but when start game, sound working)
edit: music work, not digital sound

Guys, responding to this query:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3233602#post3233602
I'm releasing a solution to allow you to remap the double tap and press and hold functions of the wired headset on the Blackstone. This may well work for other recent HTC devices, but given that I dropped out about the time of the dinosaurs, I'm not up to date with their peculiarities. Try it, it can't do much harm...
Moving on:
Ok, I haven't publicly released anything for a long, long time, so herewith, an unfinished portion of VJPoOf (which stands for VJPowerOff).
<the science bit>
VJPoOf is basically a selection of my VJBrisk tools, updated to pass command lines, and searching for only specified target .exe and .lnk files.
</the science bit>
HTC have made it quite easy to override the redial and voice dial functions from the hard wired headphones. Basically, change the following applications in the\windows folder
\windows\redial.exe for the redial command
\windows\SDDialer.exe for the Cyberon voice dialer
An easier way to do this is to extract the zip enclosed (on your pc); then:
Step 1: Drop the files Redial.exe and SDDialer.exe into your \windows\ folder.
They will overwrite the original HTC apps, but don't worry, just delete those two files to get the originals back. I also enclose the originals in the .zip.
Ok, so extract the two files into \windows\.
Step 2: Next, somewhere on your PDA, find the app you want to launch instead of the double tap or long hold on the headset.
Make a shortcut to that app (use gsfinder or similar on your PDA). Then, you must rename the shortcut VJRedial.lnk or VJSDDialer.lnk as appropriate.
Step 3: Copy these two shortcuts into your \windows\ folder, and hey presto, customisable headset commands.
I have one configured to toggle the device lock state, and the other to launch a music player.
As I said, this is a pre-release of a portion of VJPoOf, which will allow you to customise most of the other buttons on the Blackstone as well, short and long power button presses, red button etc. Might do some other stuff too, later
Let me know if your device poofs into smoke.

UPDATE:
Just for fun, I've released another tiny app from this suite I made to shut the Blackstone down instantly. It might work on other HTC phones, untested.
There will be no warnings, shutdown animations or anything, just instant power off (not standby), so please ensure you've finished working on whatever is open on your phone.
VJF-Off (VJFastOff)

Does this mean that whatever I set the "hold call" button to do, it has to be the same? For instance I want that call button to be set to rotate screen and the press and hold on the headset to be MSVC and on the bluetooth to be MSVC. Is that possible?
What is the "hold call" button? How do you achieve that? Wired headset single click etc?
There are two distinct actions created by the wired headset - double click (redial), and press and hold (voice dial).
Both of these functions can be remapped to separate replacement functions.

Hey V!
Don't feel bad about us being dinosaurs. Even dinosaurs can be cool (and dangerously useful)
Anyways, good to see you back
@egzthunder1 - great picture! Covers every eventuality...
It's nice to be back. I've been lurking for a few days - I got a Blackstone last week, got it unlocked, and rapidly un-installed all of the Touch-Slo stuff.
It's nice to be hacking again, 4 IDA windows disassembling, a hex-editor and rom dumps scattered across my desktop - feels just like the old days!

If you want to have some fun, check out in the BA section (yes my BA is still alive and kickin!). One of the devs (sun_dream) has ported WM6.5 (or so it seems) although it is only an early beta (fast and very stable though). You could try to port it to the Blackstone and maybe even help these guys with the cHome app (codename Titanium). Good Luck!
Hi,
Sorry if my question is a newbie question (because I am one !), but when I try this one my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), I can't copy the files in windows folder.
It tells me "Access denied" (in fact "Accès refusé" in French) when I want to copy your Redial.exe.
Is there "something" to unlock "somewhere" ?
Thank you
What are you using to copy the files?
If you use your PC, activesync, explore the PDA, and then find the \windows folder. Just drag the redial.exe file into \windows\.
If that doesn't work, please let us know what phone you're using, and if you've used anything to remove the security settings.
V
Hi Vijay, maybe you can help us; I have a wired remote control W100 for answer calls and control music player, but only works with WMP or AudioManager, can you make one app to intercept the signals of wired remote control w100 and use this signals to control another music player?
Thanks for your reply

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
The first time, I was using the explorer on my mobile. But I just try with the explorer of my Vista (through ActiveSync) and it makes the same error.

My Phone is HTC Touch HD (Blackstone).
I haven't used anything to remove the security settings.
Maybe that's the problem ? Maybe by default there's no authorization to modifiy Windows folder ? What should I use to change this ?
Thanks
Ok, but I have a E100 wired remote control and it behaves a bit differently. Any ideas?
@ryomahino and @[email protected]_:
a long time back I wrote some hacks for the bluetooth headset, and believe that they can be expanded to redirect control functions of the wired headset.
I'll have to see if I can get hold of one - know anywhere I can get them cheap? The wife will have my cajones if she finds me buying more phone stuff!
@DeepShark - I'm not sure why you can't do that:
I've got an orange HTC blackstone, which was locked to Orange, but I got it unlocked. Then, I just ran the Modaco "Remove Security" cab to remove security warnings etc. I don't know if that changes things - I've never had much trouble overwriting in the \windows\ folder.
Try using GSFinder or similar (on your phone), and copy the file (the modified redial.exe), and then navigate to \windows\, and paste it into \windows\.
It should overwrite the old one.
Let me know if that helps.
V
@vijay555
Thanks for your advices but it still doesn't work...
I have installed GSFinder (nice tool !) and try again the copy : doesn't work.
Then I can see the proprties of redial.exe. It says "read only". When I try to change it, it says that it's impossible "these attributes cannot be changed".
I think it's maybe because it is written "Application (in ROM)", no ?
I have try also the removesecurity.cab but it changes nothing.
Am I alone to have this problem ? :-(
I really want to succeed because I very often redial somebody without really wanting it (because I press the button unvolontary).
Thanks for your help !
Could somebody else try and see if it works for them?
@DeepShark - you don't need to change the file attributes etc of the files in \windows\ - you can normally just write over a file in \windows\ with a replacement, and the original will "disappear", (as it's in rom, not really replaced or deleted), and will reappear when you remove the fake redial.exe.
I'd be grateful if someone else can try with their phones - my phones are always heavily modified so not the best test cases. Please describe any success/failure and how your phone has been changed.
@DeepShark -what rom and operator are you on? What country?
V
ROM : 1.14.406.3 (22273) FRE
Country : France
Operator : Bouygues Telecom
STOP SEARCHING ! It works !!!
I don't know why, the copy now works. Maybe it's because I have do a soft reset a few minutes only...(?)
Thanks a lot for your patience Vijay555 ! Now I will do the following operations (I have prefered immediatly tell you that the copy has worked!)
Cool, when I press twice the button, it doesn't redial the last number now !!! This will avoid a lot of wrong calls I make very often !
A last question : in fact I don't want to make another action on the "double click" of the button. My wish is to do nothing at all in this case.
Now I have made no program in your .lnk file, so I get an error on my screen. Do you know a program I can call which do nothing ? (I know, it's strange but I hope you understand).
In the other case, I will keep your error message : it's better than make a wrong call !!
Thanks for this useful program you have made !
Try this one.
VJAirHead - an empty executable
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjairhead/vjairhead.exe
Glad it's working for you - let me know how it goes.
I have in mind doing a full audio/voice interface with clicks of the headset buttons to allow you to operate the phone remotely, but I think it'd just end up like this:
V
Yeah, great
Thanks a lot, I can double click on the button and nothing happens, and no error message too !
Good luck if you try to do the full audio/voice interface !!!
Hi Vijay,
So what does this do that simply changing any 2 .exes, to 'redial.exe' & 'SDDialer.exe', & putting them into windows not do? (hopefully that makes sense).
I guess this must be just a small part of more to come?
Also when are you going to update your site?
Guys,
I've been asked here and there if it's possible to do something useful with the wired headset on HTC phones.
I've written a set of apps, VJPoOf, which can be used to remap the press and hold and double tap functions of the headset.
I've also been asked if these remapped functions can be used to control Windows Media Player.
I'm not sure if anyone has written an external control for Windows Media Player - I'm sure they have, but I always re-invent the wheel, so here goes.
[My old favourite, PHM tools, seems to have stopped working ]
VJWMPlayerControl: as ever, a hardcore command line only tool.
It supports the following command line options:
[Control functions]
-playpause
-stop
-previous
-next
-shuffle
-repeat
-volup
-voldown
[Options/Screens]
-nowplaying
-library
-options
-fileinfo
Please find out how to make a shortcut with a command line if you don't know how (see my website).
So, example usage is:
VJWMPlayerControl.exe playpause
will obviously toggle play or pause if WMP is currently up and a track is playing.
WMP does not have to be on screen for you to use these functions.
The app currently has limited functionality, but has a lot of use if you need it! Use it with MortScript etc and you can control various functions of WMP. Use it to control WMP from Touchflo, or your Today Screen etc.
This app is hot off the press and relatively untested with Videos etc, but works fine for me with audio.
My usage is to use VJPoOf to remap the wired headset on my Touch HD, so that I can launch WMP by pressing and holding the headset button.
If WMP is not running, this will launch WMP and start playing the first track in your music library, so you don't need to touch the phone to start playing music.
When playing music, press and hold again to skip to the next track, and double tap the button to pause/play.
Please note - this usage has to be set up using a combination of VJPoOf and VJWMPlayerControl, for full flexibility in how you might want to set things up. You will need how to set up VJPoOf (not difficult!) to do this.
Also note, if WMP is not running, VJWMPlayerControl will try to launch WMP, and automagically start playing music (if there's any in your music library. If not, it'll launch missiles on Russia - I think...). This is so you can start running WMP handsfree, with the handsfree.
Note, this even works when the phone is switched off, so just insert your headset and press and hold (with VJPoOf) to launch WMP.
Let me know if it works for you or if you can think of other features to add.
Oh, and donate. My children eat cement for roughage

Hi Vijay,
It's good to see you're active around here again recently.
I would have loved this about a week ago when I was trying to get mortscript to shuffle my playlist after a set time, but I found the registry entry for it instead
the updated VJBrisk & VJPoOf seem good too.
What programming language is this written in? Is it possible to get the source code of the app?
Also, I think I might write something similar for the TouchFLO3D media player (AudioManager). Eventually.
Edit: Got previous and next track working with the Touch Flo 3D player. Can't seem to get play and pause working properly for now. Will try it again soon when I have more time.
Hi Daniel,
I''ve been trying to figure out a way to run the HTC Touch HD remote with wired headset (something HTC should have thought about?). But with the builtin TF3D music player..
Ufnortunately my skills were lacking...
Is there any chance I can be your beta tester? Drop me a line... I can live witouth play / pause... but next and previous is nice... ;-)
Regards.
Conduits Pocket Player Support
Hello
I was wondering if Conduits Pocket Player 4.0 support could be implemented in the next release?
It is only a question of running pocketplayer.exe with the right command line parameters.
Here is the command list (taken from pocketplayer forum):
>>>>>>>
Here are some command line options that are recognized by Pocket Player. To use these, you would target your shortcut to:
\Program Files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe [command name and options, without brackets]
FileOrUrl Will begin playing the track
/VOLUME=N Where N is from 0 to 255, will change the volume
/SILENT Will start Pocket Player hidden
/ENQUEUE X Will enqueue track X to Now Playing
And the format that controls playback:
/COMMAND C1 [optional: C2 C3 C4 C5]
This option takes one to five numbers on the command line, and then processes those numerical commands. Here are some of the numerical commands recognized in that form:
Play/Pause 1
Play 2
Pause 3
Stop 4
Next 5
Back 6
Mute 7
Volume up 8
Volume down 9
Screen toggle 10
Vis toggle 11
Jump fwd 12
Jump back 13
Hide/show 14
Bookmark 16
Lock/unlock 17
Unlock 18
Repeat/shuffle toggle 21
Eq toggle 28
Dsp toggle 30
Browse 31
Seek to marker 33

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
example: Storage Card\Program Files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe" /COMMAND 1 5 17
It would be even simpler if the app would just run pocket player and let the user input their own command line parameters.
The procedure would be simple to implement but unfortunately i lack the programming knowledge
Please?
Hi ViJay.
I use your command line tool with a mortscript to launch WMP.
I remarked that when WMP is playing the whole library (ie : when launching WMP with the "VJWMPlayerControl.exe playpause"), it uses a lot of memory, and at this moment, the "STOP" function doesn't work anymore, while others do. "VJWMPlayerControl.exe stop" acts like nothing happened.
Hi lpaso!
Could you write everything you do that shows the bug, step by step, so I can do it on my phone and try to fix it.
Thanks!
V
Hi ViJay,
Thank you for your support
Here are the steps I follow :
- I have about 1000 songs on my Touch HD, using a 16GB µSD card.
- When I launch WMP using your command line tool (vjwmplayercontrol.exe playpause), the player launches, go to the first song of my library, then starts to play.
- at this moment, I'm not able to use the "stop" function of your tool : it doesn't work.
I remarked it was occuring when WMP uses a huge amount of memory. For example, before launching WMP, my phone has about 30% of memory used. When I launch WMP and start playing song, it can go up to 85% of memory used.
When the player uses this amount, the stop function doesn't work at all, while other functions work very well.
If I push "pause", then wait about 15min, WMP starts to decrease its amount of used memory, and I'm able to use the "stop" function again.
I don't know if I'm clear enough.
If I'm not, I'll try to make a video
it does not work on my Viva.
i copied Redial.exe, SDDialer.exe and VJRedial.exe from vjpoof to Windows folder... i installed vjwmplayercontrol.cab... i made a shortcut VJRedial.lnk (70#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJWMPlayerControl\VJWMPlayerControl.exe" next) and VJSDDialer.lnk (74#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJWMPlayerControl\VJWMPlayerControl.exe" previous) and placed them in Windows folder... but nothing happens.
play & pause
finally got it working..
is there a way for showing the play icon when song is paused or stopped. and the pause icon when the song is playing?
Why this app does not work on WM 6.5.x?
Any solution, please.
vijay555: you've been guessing good, there was already one here. But yours have more options, so it isn't a waste
thanks
yes it works with 6.5, as well as the other one you found.
Although a very cool app it has a basic flaw: VJPoOf is only for HTC devices.
VJPoOf works in HTC devices by overwriting some rom's exe files that are launched when the headphone button is pressed. However these exe files are not Windows Mobile standards (these seem to be HTC only). This app doesn't work in my Samsung Omnia (or any other non HTC device... or so I assume).
I thought of an alternative for all the other devices (but I'm no coder so I can't do it myself). Apparently the headphone button acts as the green button (at least according to emulators button mappers)... If someone could modify Supware's GreenButton app (it already has the majority of the code and it's open source... it's a valid idea) to be able to distinguish normal-press, long-press, double-tap and launch a different shortcut/app/whatever then we would have a universal headphone control app (just let us choose what is launched because this way we could use if with any player we want so long as we know the right command).
wait, I meant wmp control shortcuts, not headphones button.
there are two apps in this thread.
headphones button is not the same as green button on htc. is it really on omnia? It's just kind of a trick, winmo executes two progs, called redial.exe & sddialer.exe, if you double press or long press it.
if you put whatever, calc.exe instead of one of them, it will just run calc instead. And yes, this one is not as universal as I had to rename sddial to voicecmd.exe to have it working on main.
Sad to see vijay and supbro are not at xda very often now...
Yeah the WMP seems to work fine (but then again I use WinMo 6.1). I guess one could achieve the same end result using via postmessage... though I never tried to find these commands. But the one I wanted most was the headphone bit (as I don't use WMP).
The VJPoOf concept is flexible and would allow to control any player given you change a few things. But redial.exe and sddialer.exe don't exist in the Omnia... The Omnia headphone button has no native long-press or double-tap features... Instead it always acts the same (as the green button).
I had tested the concept. GreenButton can be used to run any app that is passed in the lnk as an argument by pressing the headphone button. The problem is my device (and I assume it's not the only one) doesn't know the difference between a single press, a long press and a double tap.
any chances of getting a FWD/Rewind command? I posted a similar query on mortplayer thread as well.
Hello

I hope this is the right place to start this thread!
Omnia II, Diamond, HTC HD, Axim x51v...hmmm...does it work in other resolutioin like WQVGA or QVGA? Looks nice...
hi...im a big fan of AndyZap GPS Cycle Computer...and use it on every occasion, while on the go. unfortunately development seems to be abandoned . so hope you will get best of it and follow his high standards... will watch that development closely.

I think it does... although I've not tested it on a real device of other sizes yet.
Please do feel free to try it and let me know
the touchHD is wvga and navmi does almost perfect on it.
Switching between apps does bring the winMo taskbar back into the picture tho and consequently that covers part of the function buttons.
Not a major problem.
Tho I did click the winMo 'Ok' button (top right taskbar corner) once and navmi asked whether I wanted to proceed, as logging would be canceled. After clicking 'No' it canceled anyway, toughy...

I'll take a look at the switching thing - that doesn't happen on my Omnia when I use Samsung's cube button task switcher thing. What are you using to switch on the HD?
As for the "No" problem... I've just checked the code and it definitely should work OK...
I use Quickmenu to replace the regular startmenu and following your comment I switched back to regular and indeed, no more winMo taskbar pop-over... good stuff!
Wow, been after something like this for ages but havent got round to looking! Will try to get to grips with it before my next snow boarding trip so i can see how far i rode!! Good work!!
HollyWolf, are you the coder of this?
Also, add Samsung Omnia to the list of working phones. Works fine on mine.

Excellent - thanks for letting me know
Yes, I am the coder - I've taken AndyZ's GPS Cycle Computer as a start, merged in lots of code from Runsat and am loving writing code
What use using to write it in and with what language?
Also, is there a "how to use" guide at all?
Cheers
Almost all written in C# compact framework - 2.0.
There's no manual yet - so best to write here or on navmi.com if you have a question.
Thanks hollywoof, sure am gonna try this!
Looks great - gonna give it a try!
thumbs up +1
hollywoof, will there be an option to import kml or gpx files in the future? Would be nice if I could add the runs from RunSaturday to navmi. This way I have totals on my Omnia.
Installed it, looks very nice. Will test it soon while running.
I'll have a play in a bit on the HD2, pity it's snowing so much, I've not got a chance to get out in the velomobile to see how accurate it is.
One thing that is missing from gpscyclecomputer is a seperate EXIT function..
Using winmo 6.5.x versions (with the bottom buttons) you cant close the app, short of using a secondary taskmanager, so if you can include something along those lines (not tried it yet) then that would be great (and future proof it a bit).
I'm intrigued by the lapfunction, how is it going to work? I've tried a couple of other ones in the past, that haven't been quite as obvious as could be.
Especially when racing, I tend to find that pressing something is a no-no (especially cycling at 35mph and above on a 440m velodrome yo can lap quite quickly) and some of the others don't seem to realise that when you go past the place you started logging then that's the end of the first lap.
anyway, glad to see someone has taken on the basics of andyzaps app looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

I've written the GPX/KML code for course following (similar to the GCC's implementation), but I'd not thought about syncing all activities/the totals that way - maybe I'll give that a try! I do want to sync photos in as well at some point.
As another alternative I was considering writing a separate runsaturday app...
Thanks for the feedback - you're helping to make the app better

You should be able to close the app by:
- " - pausing the activity
- square - stopping the activity
- home - go to home page
- exit - exit
- yes - I really want to exit
But maybe that is a bit too long winded. I'm mainly testing on 6.5 (Omnia II) so I know it works there...

The autolap currently goes off measured distance - you can set up the autolap distance in the settings for each sport and then the just laps whenever it measures that you've reach the distance.
From personal experience of athletics tracks, I doubt you will get very good performance for cycling around a velodrome - it's just not a nice track for GPS to estimate distance... the estimation errors really build up around the circle :/ For example, I once did a 6 hour track race (normal 400m track) - and my Garmin 301 was almost 10% inaccurate compared to the lap counter. Some of this was due to me not always taking the inside lane, but (looking at the recorded track) most of it was just down to nasty GPS readings. Surprisingly that 10% was an overestimate, not an underestimate. In more normal runs, I think I'd expect my Garmin to be 1-2% accurate?

How do you import map files?? I can't find anything in the prog nor do i understand the folder structure in the maps folder?

By default navmi uses downloaded maps from an OpenStreetMap server - as selected under Settings->Maps - the default is a fairly easy to read Navmi format served from CloudMade.
If you want these to download live during your ride, then on the "Plotting" page, choose "Auto download maps"
Personally, I tend to download maps offline - before I head out running - I'm on prepay! I do this by connecting to the web over ActiveSync or WiFi, starting an activity (that I never intend to keep), waiting until I get some GPS lock, switching the display to the map page and then scrolling around the UI to download all the areas I want to.
This OSM format maps is the main direction I want to continue moving forwards - it's easiest (requires least effort!). When you use this the structure in the maps folder is split up using zoom levels, then latitudes -it's a structure that's easy for navmi to read, but it's not a structure you want to play with yourself!
Beyond OSM, navmi also supports (adapted from the GCC code) a couple of alternative ways to use maps. To use any of these other methods, you must:
1. select "off" on the Maps settings
2. do not check Auto download maps
3. use File Explorer to ensure that the navmi maps folder is empty
With these 3 steps done... you can create your own maps using your PC - see instructions in line 547 and beyond in http://code.google.com/p/gccv2/source/browse/trunk/GpsCycleComputer/Readme.htm
I know at least one person is currently using GPS Tuner .gmi files with navmi - if you are, then please feel free to post with advice.
Hope that helps - sorry it's a bit long winded!

Hi,
I present you a Doom Total Conversion that I have ported to work with mobile devices
Doom2 Blood TC

}
This mod is based on original Blood game that had his source files lost so no ports of it were made for modern platforms Anyway, there are some great mods for other engines that try to recreate the feel of that game. This is a port of original Blood TC that now can run on GFDoom and other engines that require specific changes (merging, mostly) in WAD file itself. No need of original Doom2.wad!
Download:
http://www.4shared.com/file/DyW1qwdD/Doom2BloodV11.html
How to install:
1.Download WAD file from source mentoned above
2.Download GFDoom and unzip it anywhere in your phone
3.Put Doom2Blood into GFDoom folder and rename it into Doom2.wad
4.Open GFDoom launcer and select Doom2 as an IWAD file
5.Press "Launch GFDoom" and play
Changelog:
V1
1) [Added] Levels after level 7 way up to level 20 from one of my favorite level packs, Stone Stratagems (original can be found here http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=15642). Those levels might have some texture problems, I haven't tested all of them, but still looks nice
2) [Added] New monsters
3) [Added] New gun instead of chainsaw, find it and you'll see
4) [Fixed] Weapon animations, now all of them look right
5) [Fixed] Last original level (7th), which crashed at the earlier release
6) [Fixed] Something I don't really remember
V1.1
1) [Added] First level from Beta version which was accidentally changed with something else in V1, sorry about that
2) Nothing, just a bugfix release
Follow me on Facebook to get the latest news about BloodTC and other projects

Game doesn't work at all or something is wrong? Create a new engine or just tell me what is wrong
how to change a skin:
GfDoomLauncher->Skin
GFDoom supports nice feature to change skins this way completely redesigning the onscreen buttons layout. In package I have added some original skins and some custom ones designed for Raphael and Diamond (BADoomed and EnergyROM, with these two skins you can go into great fullscreen mode!!! ), but they should also work with other devices perfectly. You can search the forum for skins better suited for your device and put them in the folders created in skins directory.
FAQ is located in page3 of this thread check it out!

Use on HTC Touch 2 with WM6.5
It's really nice to have this legend game on WM6.5, but with my HTC the game is started, the menu is scrollable with the touch screen but NOT selectable....
A little frustrated ... but may bee you know why
Hehe that's my destiny . I will test it and report later, when i am killed twice *lol
BTW:
which are the buttons? You have any list for that?
Thankyou
Sorry, I just haven't thought about people who doesn't have a navigation pad Here is a slightly modified skin, now onscreen button with word LOAD works as an enter key. Make a directory in the Skins folder and put both skin files there. Using GfDoom launcher app (not GfDoom.exe!) select that skin(named by the folder you created) and launch game, that's all. If hardware buttons doesn't wor on your device, post their values here and I will modify skin to support them
Update!
Here is the new version of my modified skin, trying to ease the use for those, who doesn't have navigation buttons, designed for lanscape (press icon on taskbar during a game, more info tomorow).
I also add keycode app, try pressing all of your hardware keys and post values here, I will appreciate that and you will get a better version of skin designed for your device
After i am killed twice i won't stop to eat something. But the exit function does not work on my TP2. The doom desktop stays and won't finished.
So far the first tests. Fast and clear grafics. Very good work
Thank you very much, I also like to play it during my free time To close doom, just press open key (message about any key is a lie )
Works with a 600 mhz cpu on a vga device?
Λ Doom works fine on digital cameras, so even 400Mhz would be enough
Tried to edit actual skin file for devices with no HW navigational pad, but it wasn't recognized by GfDoom, could anyone help?
P.S. Can anyone confirm, that Touch Pro2 has same keycodes as Touch Pro and hardware keys work in game
great stuff mate
Works perfectly on my acer tempo x960! (WinMo 6.1, vga).
I can play with hardkeys, thanks!
nice... i will watch this thread.... I'll check back here in a couple weeks... see if there has been any progress towards a polished doom application on my hTC HD2

(on a totally unrelated note, you should really take more care of your nails )
I done everything what you saying but when I go On IWAD it says none what i.m doing wrong?thanks man!

FAQ
Q: How can I control VLC?
A: You have to activate the http remote interface in the VLC settings.
Go to tools then preferences. At the bottom check the "all" under "show settings". Then expand "Interface" and then click on "Main interfaces" and you can enable "HTTP Remote Control interface" from there. Then restart VLC. Maybe you have to configure your firewall that a local connection is allowed.

Installed it on a Verizon Touch Pro 2 with energy rom 6.5 and Windows 7 64bit. Mostly working good. The physical keyboard on the tp2 works good and the mouse control is fine. opened media center fine.
Couldn't control vlc, seems to lock the vlc control screen if you press a button and it does nothing on the computer. first time i was able to hit ok and it went back to the main control menu, 2nd time though, it didn't and i had to stop the server in order for the phone to start responding properly again after it timed out the connection i guess.
Overall though, pretty decent, didn't try with media player or anything else, I have office 2007 so i will try that out for you and ill get around to media player soon. Sometime when i boot to linux ill try out my virtual xp setup with it. Speaking of, any chance to get the server operational on linux at some point?

hi
thanks for the feedback.
I just realized that I forgot to explain that the "HTTP remote control interface" from VLC has to be enabled as the server is communication over this interface with VLC (it is in the settings of VLC). I'll try to make it more stable when the remote control interface is not available and bringing a hint for this.
the server backend is using some windows API functions, I have no clue how to do this for linux, sorry.
hello,
First of all, thank you for sharing
I will test tonight on my HD2 rom sfr / Vista 32
and for French members,
here is my small contribution: the french translation for .ini file
as cited in the first post, rename the file "language.french.ini" to "language.ini"
voila!

Ahh, that worked. For anyone out there who doesn't know where to find this I'll tell ya. Open VLC, go to tools then preferences. At the bottom check the "all" under "show settings". Then expand "Interface" and then click on "Main interfaces" and you can enable "HTTP Remote Control interface" from there. No other settings, though I had to restart vlc in order for it to trigger the Windows Firewall to ask how to handle VLC so you will probably want to do that to get it setup with your firewall.
Another thing I found, I am using english and it shows english in the main server control window, but if i right click on the server icon in the system tray, its all still german.
@matspe:
can you translate the server language file as well? then I'll include it in the next version.
@fordry:
I've added your introduction to the FAQ. thanks.
I see there I forgot the translation. I'll fix it in the next release. thanks again.
Using it on HD2 Tomus and WinXP sp3 and working perfect!
tried and worked perfect with: Powerpoint 2007, Winamp 5.56, MediaPlayerClassic 6.4.9.1, mouse, keyboard, actually I'm writing this from my phone jaja
in Mouse mode will be cool to se Page-Scrolling for up and down like notebook's mouse...
vielen dank!
really funny i'm working on the same right now but with something like config files for each programm so every user can remote control every program
but i have some problems with the server (it crashes every about 30 mins lol)
testet on HD2 with c2 duttys v10 or 11 windows xp sp3 and winamp 5...
the only thing i noticed are crashes when using the keyboard
a sroller would be nice yea and a search function in winamp and album art display
Very nice app, thanks.
I'm typing from my HD2 keyboard and I've an issue about letters: to write in small letters I've to set the keyboard on capital letters and viceversa. EDIT: when restarted the app the capital letters were ok
both on pc and HD2 I have random crashes when typing , the error message is in german though I followed instruction to change the interface language.
could you please explain how to use the media players feature? it's not clear to me
thanks

I haven't used any of the others yet, but for vlc, you need to enable its http interface which i explained how to do in one of my posts on the 1st page. Then you need to open vlc manually and once open the controller can control volume, play/pause, stop, and it looks like it has a little playlist management though i didn't play with that at all so im not sure what its capable of there.
Thank you for this app!!!
Xperia X2 - works great! I've been looking for such a piece of software for a long, long time... Thanks God I've found one that is good for me!
Seriously impressed with this. I had G remote previously which i found was good although i struggled to set it up - then it just killed my network connections with the amount it was sending/recieving data.
However - after spending the past 15 mins trying to suss out why it wasnt working... I turned the wifi on on my phone lol
Worked first time, no issues and seems very light to use with no lag.
I do get an error message pop up but its in german after about 5 or 6 minutes which then closes down the client software.
My Suggestions: Can you build in landscape mode? would be very handy for the keyboard and possibly the media player.
Unsure how feasible it is but if you could make Swype work with this typing on the pc may actually become redundant.
Running on an HD2 with win mo 6.5.3 and Sense 2.5.2018
Edit:
It appears after using the keyboard after about 5 minutes the error message that appears in german (thanks to google translate) says: The connection to the server has been disconnected
Then the program closes. This doesnt happen with the mouse part of the program. It reconnects with no issues but unsure if theres an error within code which may cause this - hence reporting it.

Hi BigMani
I would have wanted to translate, but I have not found the same lines, it is not in the file. "ini"
in the German file perhaps?
Over the Internet?
Will this work over the internet?
Can I set a port on my firewall and control from my phone over the internet on a 3G connection?
Thx
Anyone that has a version that installs in English??
I'm having a hard time changing the language. I read the instructions and i just can't figure out how to do it. I'm feel like a noob Could anyone post a cab that installs in english?
It is working with TP2 (EnergyROM GTX 18Sep2010) Windows 7 and Power Point 2010 Beta. Only the f5 is not working.
Thank you it is a very nice and useful app.

On your mobile phone, using File Explorer you have to go to MyDvice/Program Files/ RemoteControl Client and long press the "language.English" file -> press "rename" button and delete ".English" from its name.
On your computer you have to do the same with the "language.English" file that is in the folder "RemoteControl Server (Windows Desktop)" from the zip that you have downloded.

Hi!
Your App looks great, but can you create it also for VGA devices?
Greetings!
