Hey guys, new 8125 user here!

Hey, how's it goin? I just got back from my cingular store with a Cingular 8125 Pocket PC, and its a large jump up from the tin cup and string I had before... I did a bit of searching, and this place seems like a friendly place to learn.

Basically I am looking for a Remote app and an SNES emulator, to no effect (for my particular phone anyway) but I'm open to suggestions, what do you fellow 8125'ers like thats out there? any must haves?

Sadly neither of these work with the 8125... The NoviiRemote site says they are working for a quickfix because I guess it has to do with the processor... same thing with Pocket Snes I think... It has three options for the processors that are available, but the one in the 8125 isn't there

Aww dang, thats right, it uses the TI OMAP 850 proc. I personally don't use these programs, but I should have tested them for you just to be sure...

Sorry about that!

Good news however, there is a beta version of NoviiRemote that works with the Cingular 8125. Check out the forum page here for the download!

You can try MorphGear for the time being (I haven't had time to check on my K-JAM if it works), and maybe even overclock your Cingular 8125 if you choose...

Let me know if you need anything else! Good luck!

-Tim

Thumbs up

If we are talking about useful software that enhances the experience on the 8125 (which is similar to the MDA), I endorse the following:

For quicker Internet access:
Opera Mobile (Opera browser: Homepage)

For organizing your "main screen"
SPB Pocket Plus (in our download section!!)

for quick keyboarding, a smart program:
TENGO free keyboard (TenGO)
please note that the paid version includes a spanish dictionary that really works!!!

if you like flight simulators:
LEo Flight Simulator (in our download section!!)
and if you like to read on your PPC:
Mobipocket Free Reader (http://www.mobipocket.com)
I can recommend free science fiction ebooks at Science Fiction & Fantasy from Baen Books - Home Page, too.

Enjoy your new "enhanced productivity equipment"...

Manny

I just checked it out, but I'm getting wierd error messages out of it... something about not having enough memory... I don't know if that means memory as in ram, like it would on a computer, if that means memory as in disk space... I gotta get myself a mini-sd card, this much is definitely true

Yeah... you definetly want to get a miniSD card to at least store your pictures and music. However, I'd recommend installing the programs on the card as well!

But I digress, MorphGear (as well as other programs) needs as much available memory (RAM) as possible to run smoothly.

Memory is a bit funky on Pocket PCs as your RAM can also be your disk space too...

Hello I recently bought the cingular 8125. I just ordered the software program...pocketfritz 2. When I loaded the CD onto my notebook pc it opened up a window asking what programs I wanted to add or remove, and this didnt list pocketfritz2 (only asked if I wanted to add or remove xpress mail program). It also said that if the program i am trying to add is not listed, then this means it may not be compatible. This seems weird because pocketfritz says it is compatible with windows mobile 5.0. Anyone that can help me? Thanks

Try downloading Pocket Fritz 2 from their website here:

http://www.chessbase.com/download/da...%202%20SP2.exe

Run the program from your desktop and it shoulw install onto your 8125. Use the registration key that was given to you when you ordered the software.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi, repitwa21 !!!
Emulator is a software that makes your machine behave like another (as in letting programs run on it, that usually wouldn't)... for example you might get a "GameBoy" emulator that lets you play "GameBoy" games on your PC (or PPC)

Hey folks. New 8125 user here. Just downloaded Morphgear, the necessary module, and a rom (smc format I think). morphgear runs, but when i try to load a game it says not enough memory. That must be internal because i have a 1gb card, or is the program too big for the 8125? Thanks.


nevermind, got it to work, although its not as sweet as hoped, but graphics are great.

MorphGear was the only snes emulator that I could get to smoothly on my 8125, and that was with no sound and nothing else running. I'm currently applying tweaks to see if I can get it playable at a good speed with sound.

I have a 2 gb 150x minisd card that I installed Morphgear directly onto for anyone who is interested.

EDIT: I applied the speed tweaks and Morphgear is playable with sound, but it is not smooth enough to call it perfect. I'm playing using the keyboard and the screen orienation set to east. If anyone else knows of a better working snes emulator that uses less memory please let me know.

EDIT 2: I overclocked my phone to 252 MHZ and moved the games over to my card also and now snes playing on Morphgear is perfect... Sound and everything. Every Cingular 8125 user needs to get smartskey and omapclock. They are great freeware programs that let you overclock your ppc with extreme ease and constantly runs for all programs all the time (even after standbys). The default setting is for 264 and 276 has been reported to be mostly stable (terrible battery life), but I run 252 to be safe and everything is perfect. SNES is possible on 8125

Hi, I have tried to play Mario RPG with Morph and it was very laggy. Later I try Pocket Snes that thing works great. I have not even overclock the 8125 and it emulate Mario RPG in a very good pace. Chrono runs near perfect without even overclock. Just wondering have u ever try to use Pocket SNES?

Yes I did, but I like Morphgear's support of the landscap veiw and easy button reconfigeration. There just aren't enough soft keys for portait veiw in my opinion, plus I hate having to switch hands on the control pad in order to get to more softkeys.

Also Pocket Snes was terrible with the Mega Man X rom. Thats the only game I was interested in playing when I went through all this trouble.

I cant seem to get MorphGear of PocketNES to work smoothly even with a 240mhz overclock. MorphGear works the better of the two, but I am getting FPS's as low as 22(fps). My Memory looks like this before I run the program:

Storage: 16.69MB Free
Program: 23.87MB Free

I have as much stuff as I can on my 1GB SD card, used Tweaks2k2, Memaid, Overclocker, pretty much everything I have found by searching on this site. If there is something I overlooked, please let me know. I would appreciated it greatly.

BTW: Great site!
