The Working List
----------------

Avast 4HPC (www.avast.com) it runs and makes the virus scan but it gives an error about a missing "toolhelp.dll" and i can't update it. Fixed Check here: (http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18645)

CenetviewersMIPS (http://hpcmonex.net/izemize/cenetviewersMIPS.zip) Great stuff! It runs Perfect!

eZdownload v1.15 (http://www.freewareppc.com/) It runs nicely! I test it and i download a file just fine!

Taskmaster v2.0 (http://www.truedimensions.com/taskmaster/download.htm) Great tool! Runs with no Problem!

The Plus! Pack v3.0 from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en) is has also some nice tools that works. The tools i found more usefull are: Resource Meter, Pocket Paint, Squares (gives an error when i close it, but it runs fine!) and Image Viewer (runs,but is not so good viewer)

Total Commander. (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) Works but it doesn't have exit button!?

Klondike WAP Browser for PocketPC. (I found it here http://www.freewareppc.com/) Works but it doesn't have exit button!? And it has problems with the virtual keyboard. So, it is difficult to write!?

GSFinder+ for Pocket PC Ver. 1.04 (I found it here http://www.freewareppc.com/) Works! but there is no exit button!

TascalRegEdit for Windows CE V0.51 (http://www.tucows.net/get/32381_44417) Works Just Great!

The Non-Working List
--------------------

OKey_v2 (http://www.damnsoft.org) it runs but i think it has problem when you try to load a layout.

Nice stuff!

Looks like we are following the same path. I have your working ones also and some emulators and ebook readers. I have put together a complete working set of mfc dlls that will play the older hpc and ppc apps. Also have a large list of other dlls that are tested to work for various apps. Some were very hard to find so I will get them packaged up tomorrow and post it.

Have you checked out peinfo.exe? The import tab on that tells you what dll's an app requires so you can mix and match dlls to suit the app!

Got yamece, morphgear, and scrummvm 1.0 working. I really want mamece but I think we are stuck until someone gets a copy of gx.dll working.

I will package up the various mips gx.dll I have with a small readme...I have spent hours on this but hopefully someone can succeed where I have failed.

The other thing I really want is a .lit ebook reader. The old version of microsoft reader works but is horrible. Bummer I might have to convert all my .lit books to mobi format.

How About Some Links Guys??
Thanks

doniago · 12-27-2007, 01:17

^I'd guess most of it's google'able, but links would be kind of cool. If this thread (or a variant) was more database'ish and less discussion-ish, I could sticky it perhaps.

123risiko · 12-27-2007, 09:17

I sum up my posts from the other thread:

Working:
-----------------------------------------------
Mobipocket reader works (tried the 4.9 version)

Total commander for pocket pc - mips version (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) - you have to hide the taskbar to see all options

Xnview (image viewer) seems to work, but somehow I got into a screen I couldn't escape and had to restart - (http://www.xnviewpocket.org/home_uk.php)

Pocket QuickView v2.0.13 (http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=368)

Calc98: the WinCE 3.0 MIPS version works -
(http://www.calculator.org/download.html)
Note: No exit button - use task master

Eval - (http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/#Eval%201.0)

VOLUME II

The Working List

----------------

ArtSKeyBoard for HPC v2.0 (http://www.artsoft.ru/eng/artskbhpc.htm) works great but it's Demo!

mips211.zip (http://www.freeweb.hu/izemize/hpc.php) some dll files that some old programs need to run.

Pocket Powerpoint Editor (http://rapidshare.com/files/79834510..._mips.exe.html) Works! you need IMGDECMP.DLL(from mips211) and MFCCE20.DLL (http://rapidshare.com/files/79841555/MFCCE20.zip.html) in the install dir...

WtalkCE (http://rapidshare.com/files/79833685/WtalkCE.zip.html) Yes! it works! You need CESHELL.DLL and IMGDECMP.DLL (from mips211) in the install dir... I can download big files! But i can't download from Rapidshare and similar pages because it gives "post-request without content?" i think is a bug...

kaffeCE JVM. (http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/kaffe.html) I can install it but i'm not sure if it works?! i tried it only with opera-mini-4.0.9800-advanced-int that it doesn't work...)

CrE-ME412_MIPS_CE40_HPC JVM. (http://www.nsicom.com/) (Same as above...)

Resco Keyboard Pro for Pocket PC v4.33 (http://rapidshare.com/files/79838204...ard_p.exe.html) It works with the "simple" skin but i have to copy the file RkbSvr.dll to \windows\ each time i want to use this keyboard!? (I need some tool to write to the ROM or i must change something in the registry but i haven't find it yet...)

1. make install
DON'T choose it as default input method because in the next boot you will have no keyboard! Choose the simple skin!
2. copy the new files from \program file\ (the Resco Dir) to \hard disk\Program files and from \windows\ to \hard disk\windows\ (the new files in windows folder are RkbSvr.dll, RKeyboard.htm, RUpdate.exe, and Resco Keyboard Pro.unload). (i copy this folder "AppMgr" in \hard disk\windows\ to be sure that it will work.)
3. change the paths in the registry: HLM\SOFTWARE\RESCO add to each path the "\Hard disk\" for example "UK@\Hard Disk\Program Files\Resco\Languages\UK.map" you have to change all paths in Languages (change at least the layouts you will use.) and in Skins. and the "HLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Resco Keyboard Pro" entry has some paths i have change.
4. copy IMGDECMP.DLL(from mips211) and MFCCE20.DLL (http://rapidshare.com/files/79841555/MFCCE20.zip.html) to \hard disk\windows
5. Each time you boot you must copy RkbSvr.dll from \hard disk\windows to \windows
(6. The software is Demo.)

* (if your keyboard is lost do step 5. If you haven't change the registry entries step 3 you must copy \hard disk\program files\Resco to \program files\Resco and from control panel => input panel select Resco Keyboard and uncheck the "use it as default input method" option.Reboot and Done!)

The Non-Working List

---------------------

Effy-European_MIPS

ArtsKey

bkondisk, ceerommips, mipsdumpers01, mkrom_136, romdump_mc21b, XDATools (tools to read the ROM!)

TascalCalc

MinimoCE_0.016

netfrontmips211 and nf30m (it runs but no exit button and has problem with the virtual keyboard.)

Softmaker Office v2006 (TRIAL)

regedit.Jup_MIPS (PHM)

TascalRegEdit for Windows CE V0.90 Strange but it don't works like v0.51?!

smart81 · 12-31-2007, 05:02

Microsoft's PowerToys.exe for wince 3.0 (http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/d...displaylang=en) works but i didn't found something usefull....
tools i tried are: File Associate (i think that isn't working?!), Network Utilities (works fine but i don't need them...), Pocket Registry Editor (it's like this one TascalRegEdit for Windows CE V0.51) and some sound schemes!

The file associate and the Sound schemes maybe they need some registry modification (the paths) but i'm not sure.

Kpax · 01-01-2008, 10:47

To all;

I live in Canada and got a Q5W for Christmas. It is an awesome upgrade to an A2.

I finally got ScummVM 0.1.0 (Mips) www.scummvm.org working and installed all the old classics games working without any issues. I tried version 0.71.0 and had some issues with some ini files and couldn't get it to work properly. I found the latest version on a Korean webpage and everything works AOK!!!

The games work great and there is no lag to them. I will post some pictures of the games I'm playing.

The Windows 5.0CE O/S is fine and you can sync with MS ActiveSync 4.5.

Currently I don't have any issues once you upgrade the Firmware to 1.43.

Tango out,

Martin

http://www.gowerpoint.com/uBook_main.html

I used the CAB to install directly. As usual you MUST select the program files ares under 'harddisk' to install to otherwise it will only be there for the current session!

http://www.gowerpoint.com/uBook09i.PPC_MIPS.CAB

I've got it set up with larger fonts, and screen rotated 90, and it looks great. Could be best book reader hardware Ever!

In the above link you can find a working JVM and 3 java tools that works! The best of them for me is HotJava Web Browser that works if you follow the given instructions... but still it doesn't support javascript. (It also has some more tools but i didn't try them.)

Bad linking.

Thanks for all working programs!

Someone was looking for a midi player. http://www.pdamusician.com/mimidi.html
Open zip and use Mimidi_mips.exe
Oh...after install, copy mimidi.dll from \windows to \Hard Disk\Windows.

Wadjus · 01-09-2008, 03:06

Yes, i will try the midi player.
Thanks snowdogging!
