WM 2003 SE ?
« Reply #90 on: July 27, 2008, 10:17:29 am »

Hi all.
I am yet another owner of WM 2003 SE device. (Dell Axim x50)

And also this port does not seem to work on it too.
After execution of shortcut (already edited) absolutely nothing happened, log file did not appears.

I tried to execute this game on WM5.0 emulator and it started there with the same shortcut. Later it freeze somewhere during the intro, but I think it does not matter.
Then I tried to execute it on WM2003 emulator and it showed me this messagebox:
" 'uqm' is not a valid Pocket PC application. "

So I think that current port has some platform dependence on WM5.0.

I tried to add this line to CFLAGS (on the VmWare image):
"-D_WIN32_WCE=0x0420 -DWIN32_IE=0x0420 -D__CE_VERSION__=0x420"

Also I removed “Platform acceleration” from “Graphics/Sound optimizations” item in config menu.

But executable had the same size after compilation. And it also did not start on my device.

I don't think this particular port will work on any OS older than Windows Mobile 5, given my own experiences with it. (It definitely doesn't seem to work under WM2003SE...)

I'll see if I can recompile for WM2003 and will let you know when done so you can test it.

Have any news?

I install it per the instructions but the keys don't seem to rotate and the mappings are only correct on some screens. For example, on the planet screens the mapping is correct for landscape mode and I can navigate the menu and recall the scout ship using the cancel key (corresponds to ESC in the desktop version). When I'm on any other screen, the keys are not rotated properly and the only keys that seem to work are the arrow keys (in portrait mode) and the enter key.

Here is the PDA that I have:
Dell Axim X51V
WM5
Calligrapher installed

Same problem here with AT&T FUZE (HTC Touch Pro/Raphael US edition)
using cooked rom ROMeOS² ver 1.41

tried changing SDL.dll to a different version, same result. Maybe the uqm.exe needs to be recompiled?

Works fine on HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt/8925

This is apparently a cegcc compiler issue (caused by changes in WM 6.1). I am not sure whether they've fixed it, but I'll try to recompile with the latest version of cegcc.

Problem solved (or, rather, worked around). It looks like executables produced with the cegcc compiler don't play well with WM 6.1. A workaround is to run "upx" (the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables) on the executables (both .dll and .exe).

The http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Windows_CE_port Ultronomicon page has been updated with binaries that work under WM6.1.

I've tested this on my Sprint HTC Diamond, and the game starts up (should be working on PRO as well, since Diamond and PRO are nearly identical).

Thank you so much, it's now working on my Touch Pro. One question though, is there any way to flip the display 180 degrees, or is that hardcoded? The keyboard on this phone opens up the other way.

At any rate, much appreciated Cheesy

This game was one of the main reasons I wanted to get a smartphone.

Good question. I think the SDL port is hard-coded to flip to landscape mode, I'll check it out when I get a chance.

Hi guys

Is there a way to get the CE port to work on WM5-based keyboardless smartphones with a touchscreen, such as Samsung i710-740? It runs just fine, but I can't even exit the game, as it doesn't recognize neither the cursor buttons, nor the middle button.

Thanks!

UQM doesn't support touch-screen (aka mouse). I suggest playing around with the key files.

I have some questions:

1) When compiling SDL with Visual Studio, does anything special have to be done to make the DLL work with your compiled code? I followed the instructions here, but I'm pretty sure something didn't go right. I got my code to compile, but when I put it on my Axim it didn't seem to do anything.

2) I've been using cegcc 0.50 to compile my code and the compiler executable is arm-wince-cegcc-g++. I'm using libraries that I found in this link. I'm trying to get libraries that do not combine with my code so that I can comply with the LGPL rules.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, Just to let you know it runs on the new touch pro 2. Also, having the same problem as this guy. They keyboard flips out on the opposite side, so the game is upside down.. is there any way to flip the image? can't really play the game unless it's flipped. it would be really awsome Wink
