Getting my Bearings

Post by Brian »

Alright I finally did. I got a new pocket pc. I got the verizon xv6700(Windows mobile 5.0).This is the first time I Have owned a pocket pc and i'm really stoked. Anywho I want to play my old games and so I wondered onto this site. I just want to make sure i'm doing this right. Am I right to download the Windows CE ARM pack version of scumm? THen download the games onto the comp. then the right game files onto my pocket pc? Also for the game do you use the toch screen or do you use the keypad?

Yes, you have to download the WinCE version of ScummVM.

Only the demos of the games except FOTAQ and BASS, which are Freeware can be downloaded onto your computer.

That's right. Copy the game files to your PDA/SD card in order to play your games.

You can use the touchscreen to play those games, but for some extra buttons like the "right-click-button" you have to set those in ScummVM ( it's the icon with a Q in it). You can also play the game solely with the keypad, but I advise against it, touchscreen is easier to handle. :wink:

Yes, just copy the necessary files of your games (listed here ) to a folder on your Pocket PC.

*sigh* Yes.
Look, just try something on your own, I bet there are at least SOME informations for you to use in the Readme (both normal ScummVM-Readme and WinCE-version of the Readme).
