I just got a refurbished x50v. The Bobble word game (& suite) which I used to play (for hours) on an Ipaq 2215 runs v - e - r - y slowly on the Axim. Some of the animation seems to be missing (color, movement, etc.)

Is anyone else running this game and/or its suite? I like the software so much that I am thinking of sending back my Axim and reactivating my Ipaq!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Lily

Although I have no experience with this game, try selecting a higher processor speed.
Also Try installing the game to memory instead of a card if that is where it is installed now.
In MYPDA I have links to all Free games that work great with the X50v!!

Thanks Avatar for the welcome. This is an incredibly informative site. Just by reading here, I learned alot about my Axim even before it arrived.

The game is installed to the built-in memory. Installing it in main memory gives the same result. I tried cranking up the processor... that slightly sped up an eviscerated animation. I'm at last glad to see that I was trying fixes that made sense to others!

Thanks again.

Lily, is this game VGA aware? Games not designed for VGA devices may have problems on your x50v.

Here is a list of software compatible with WM5:

(It may not be entirely up to date but at least it will give you an idea...)

Hi Gigi,
Thanks. The developer says the game is VGA friendly. But the game/suite is not on the VGA list.

Bobby - Thanks. I tried the tweak. No problems, but no joy either.

Lily,

Can you point us to the developer's web site and maybe some of us could give it a try and see if we have the same problem?

Hi Crawil. Others' experiences with it would be really helpful!

The speed & tap-touch of the games might be hard to assess. If you try the "Bobzee" game and don't get a green background at the bottom of the screen (which appears on the developer's screen shot), then your installation would be like mine.

I installed it to my x50v in BIS and it ran fine. I then uninstalled and re-installed to an SD card and again, it ran find, except that I really suck at Boggle (Bobble)! Maybe an upgrade to .NET 2.0?

If it's that important to you, you might make sure there isn't some other software that's causing a conflict. Backup everything up, hard-reset, and install things one at a time and see if the slowness comes back.

Good luck!

It ran ok for me... although i suck at it too....

Are you runninh the latest version? it might be worth removing it completely (including from activesync) and reinstalling from the version on the web

This week I have been mostly listening to..... Short cummings audio

Crawil & Psionandy... Many thanks.
I've tried the upgrade to NET 2.0 and downloading/reinstalling the game from the web. I guess that hard reset is the thing to do. Your having tried the game on your x50v's -- and finding that it works -- motivates me. THanks again!
