I got this from private message from Ikejam, and I'd like to share what I did to get Cube copied over:

This is your problem. AS copying is bugged in that it refuses to copy certain files, and I run into the thumbs.db problem a lot. The problem is what when that happens AS fails to copy any other files so essentially you might as well consider that copy at "corrupt." Although, this is not dissimilar to the same error that file Explorer gives you when you can't copy a file.

Here is the solution. Go to the root of the cube folder on your desktop PC. Select control-f to do a find. Select to find thumbs.db. The trick is that the thumbs.db is a hidden file so you must select in advanced options to search for hidden and system files. When you do ctrl-f in a folder it only searches at that folder and subfolders below it so you should get a list of something about 3-5 files of thumbs.db to delete. Delete those files.

Then, delete all cube files/folders from your PPC. Now try to copy the directories from your desktop. It should succeed without any errors. Now try to run Cube.

still no luck. wierd. i tried running it by using the emulator also, put the cube extracted folder as the sd card location, that way no chance of copying trouble as well as copying after deleting al thumbs.db files.

I must be doing somthign stupid. very frustrating

anyway thank for the tips.

gillius

Strange, I don't know then. I didn't have any problems except the thumbs.db problem, which is not specific to Cube anyway.

Ok...it doesnt run on my x51 with WM5. As I execute cube.exe, all it does is that it switches to landscape and then switches back to portrait. THATS IT !

Xcilion

Well mate, the problem is you have to replace the .EXE file in the 'cubeppc' folder with the .EXE that is in the OPEN_GL Optimized version.

On Sourceforge there are two zip files for PPC.
I have it running succesfully on my Axim x51v (WM5, ;)) so, yes it's compatible.

It's working just great on my A06 x51v. Give a try to the version linked from http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=114840

How ome it's 520 MHz only? Why don't you run it in auto mode? (Not that I'd think the problem is because it's only running at 520 MHz)

BTW, I really recommend A06.

I have the 624 mhz x51v A04 ROM right now. Cube worked fine for me when I tried it. I wish I could say more but I think everything said in this thread is all that can be said.

there is no such thing as an 520mhz X51"V" either you have a 624mhz X51V or you dont. (then its just an X51)

If its the 520mhz version then that means its QVGA and cube is VGA. so it wont work on your PDA. It happened to me when I tried to run toy golf on my axim x51.
