Great, I'm one step closer to getting it on my X50v(and probably my hx4700 too, though trying to play games like this on it would obviously suck).
The only problem is that the VMware image trickles onto my hard drive at a speed that makes 56k seem fast. Could there be a faster mirror for it?

It's not that bad for me - I'm able to download the entire image in under 2 hrs.

For me, I get estimates of eight hours for a full download, and twice already I've been about halfway through, only for the download to screw up and start from the beginning again. I'm only getting 8.7 KB/s at the moment, which is atrociously low; my best speeds were in the range of 12 KB/s for that particular download when I can get almost 500 KB/s on other downloads with good hosts.
Still, it would have been nice if you gave us a binary anyway, even if mouse/touchscreen support isn't implemented yet. It's not like I can do anything useful with the source code.

I just got everything on the SD card ready to go, and...nothing. Whenever I tap uqm.exe on my X50v, I get pretty much the same effect as typing "xyzzy" in a text adventure; in other words, NOTHING HAPPENS.
I hope this isn't a port that requires Windows Mobile 5.0 or greater just to run-I'm sick of dealing with filesys.exe compaction thread slowdowns.

I've updated wiki with this (shortcut for 320x240).

I tried the command line setting for creating a log file. No log files were ever created.
I even tried the QVGA resolution setting, but that still yielded nothing. (I shouldn't even have to do that on a Dell Axim X50v, though-it's VGA just like your X51v, only that it's meant to run WM2003SE rather than WM5.)
It also doesn't launch at all on my hx4700, either.
I guess I'll try installing WM6.1 on one of the two and see if that fixes it.

Hmmm... Although I haven't tried on older versions of WM, I would think that it still should work. That is strange.

So far I've verified this to work on the following PDAs / smart-phones:
* Dell Axim x51 / WM5
* Sprint PPC 6700 / WM5
* Sprint HTC Touch / WM6
NOTE: key tweaks are required, mostly b/c some keys are not re-mappable from the setup menu...

Is there any reason Cancel key can't be made re-mappable from the setup menu?

Two things: 1. Try creating a shortcut and adding parameter to specify a log file. Check out "Adding The Ur-Quan Masters command-line arguments" section on the http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Windows_CE_build_instructions page on adding shortcuts if you are not sure how to. 2. Default resolution is 640x480. Your PDA probably only supports 320x240. While adding that shortcut add a parameter to start in 320x240 resolution, the default might be 640x480... The parameter in question is: -r 320x240
Hi,
I've followed the instructions as much as I know how, but I get the same problem of the game just not loading when I click on the shortcut.
I wasn't sure how to really open the shortcut with a text editor, so I opened it with notepad on my Sprint Mogul (PPC 6800 w/ WM6), it had the one command line already there (path), so I added the log command line and tried to run it. Nothing. I can't find any log file either to see what's going on. Where would it be placed? in the base directory? I also added the resolution command line, but is there anything you have to add outside the quote marks? I'm just not sure what else I'm doing wrong. I followed the directions from Precompiled Binaries down contained in the wiki.
One weird thing, though. It says you have to use .6.2 version, but when I installed UQM on my PC using the .6.2 installer, it said it downloaded the .6.0 version. Could this be a problem?
I really want to get this to work, even if it's just the hyper melee right now. SC2 was one of my favorite games growing up and I still come back to it every now and then. Finding out it's 'available' for PPCs psyked me out, but not being able to get it to work is taking wind out of my sales 
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance all!

It's actually mentioned in this thread.
