CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY IT IS THAT WHEN I AM PLAYING DOOM ON MY NEW X51V THAT IT JOGS AND GLITCHES WHEN I GET HEALTH OR EVEN STRUCK BY AN APONENT. IS THERE A FIX? AM I USING THE WRONG EMULATOR? WTF


MY IPAQ RAN EVERYTHING FLAWLESSLY; TOO BAD ITS A $400. PAPERWEIGHT NOW.

to Aximsite!

I'm going to move this to the Games forum. I have never used an emulator so I can't answer your question.

Welcome to the site.

I'M USING GF DOOM AND I DON'T JUST USE IT FOR THAT IT JUST SUCKS THAT I BUY A BRAND NEW PDA AND IT IS WORSE THAN THE ONE I HAD.

THANKS FOR THE INVITE! GLAD TO BE A MEMBER, I CAN FINALLY GET MY PROBS SOLVED WITHOUT :bang: . PLUS THESE IMOTIOCONS ARE KILLER! THANKS FOR THE HELP.

OH, I THOUGHT THE X51V WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A DEDICATED VIDEO CARD TYPE THING.

they do, but programs have to be configured to work with it. Its like running Doom on a pc with a 3D accellerator card... Doom won't use a 3D accellerator card. its software rendering. So regardless.

Its prolly your emulator or bad programming. The x51v uses Windows Media 5 which breaks alot of code for older programs. Unless developers update for the new code, some programs will run slow or not work.

I have a x51v and it runs games great. There are several games that use the 3D card and its nice. Quake Mobile and Tony Hawk 2 are a few.

K, is that better? What do you have for me? BTW I've got a million and one things going on here this eve and the caps was my last concern but if you wish me to be nomal for a minute; I suppose.

okay... is your x51v sluggish even when you are not playing doom on it? (i.e if you are say, playing jawbreaker or solitare?)

Thanks, switching off CAPS / All Words Start With Capitalized seem to be far better ;)

IMHO, just forget about anything non-2700g-enabled - the 2700g is SO much better than software rendering. You really should give Quake Mobile a try. See my mini-review at either here ( http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=98674 ) or in my blog ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...3&p=650&more=1 ).

Wha? Are you talking about GAPI? Only the x51v and those Toshiba PDAs have dedicated video cards...

.......what i mean is that all pda's have a video "card" with pdas there is no such thing as a edicated video card in othe pdas the video card isnt built in to something else on the MB true the x51v has a great video "card" but it certanly isnt dedicated...

I really like this whole forum thing. Thanks for the help. I now have a better understanding that I bought a PDA that was ahead of it's time and will just need to get going on the games they have available for it now and see what comes out later to entertain my all caps locked mind. Thanks again!!!:)
