Hey I am not making this up. I just saw this article at POCKETGAMER But I have been trying all evening to make it work. I have an original Warcraft II CD (Not battlenet) but I can't even get the daggum PocketConsole/PocketCMD to work.

(Also this is where you get the downloads CLICKME

So this thread is dual purpose.

1. Let yall know it's out there.

2. Let's find ways to make it work on the x50v!!!

Happy Gaming!

Wow, great. I'll try to make it work, seems complicated though

PocketConsole doesnt work on WM2003SE in my experience, but if all you need it for is to start it with the -F parameter, then just make a shortcut.

Make a normal shortcut to the executable, open it up in a text editor, and change it from something like this

28#\path\to\program.exe

to

28#\path\to\program.exe -F

Unless I'm missing something, this should work.

Yeah it does mention that in the download site that it is "buggy" with wm2003se but I thought some of you would be able to make it work. (I mean look what happened with emulamer and morphgear, and pocketsnes) I believe in yall !!!

Hi Lomius,

I just installed wargus (first installing the pocketcmd driver and and copied my copy of WC2 into the wc2 directory and it seems to work, though a bit slowly.

I installed PocketConsole, reset my Axim, then installed PocketCMD. I copied wargus onto a CF card and copied my WC2 CDROM contents into the wargus/wc2 subdirectory.

To run, I just clicked on 'stratagus640' and it seemed to work (I'm not bothering with PocketCMD--in fact, I can' even run PocketCMD because it complains about missing items). I've tried the shortcut idea to run 'stratagus640 -F', and that didn't seem to make any difference.

When I first ran wargus/stratagus, the screen cursor seemed to be off about 1cm to the right of where I was tapping on the screen. I went into the WC2 options, selected the "Fullscreen" option and that fixed it. Game seems to run, but it's definitely slower than what I remember (even after increasing the gamespeed in the options menu).

I am having trouble building structures and accessing some other items in the lower-left corner because the Axim thinks I'm trying to access the MS keyboard and so my stylus clicks don't always make it to the application; they seem to get hijacked by Windows. I had this same problem with ScummVM--anyone know how to disable that (or what I'm talking about)?

FWIW, I'm running A03.

BTW, thanks for the link! :-)

Do you make a directory of the game in the directory of WC2 or do you select all the files and copy to the wc2 directory? Everytime I try to run it in my axim, it freezes.

Ok I got it working on my x30, actually pretty easy to do. All I had to download was the stratagus. I extracted it then copied the folder to my memory card, and ran stratagus.exe. Runs in landscape mode.
Works fine,not too slow.

That's it? You didn't need to copy the actual game from CD to the WC2 directory?

When someone gets this working on an X50v could they PLEASE make a quick guide? Thanks!

I got it going with rescoe explorer last night (File>Run>(browse for file) and enter "-F" under "Arguments"). It runs alright, but there are a lot of bugs. Some important options on the screen were inaccessible because the Today screen buttons weren't disabled. For example, trying to instruct a peon to build kept bringing up my keyboard instead because that button was behind the "Build" button, on the Today screen. Not sure if there's a fix?

See what I mean. You guys rock. This is the best site for us to make things work. Its a bit slow though. As far as the stylus not controlling everything, that is what the button1/shift is for.

I copied the entire CD contents into stratagus' 'wc2/' subdirectory.

Ok. Here is how to make it work on my x50v:

1. Download this file
2. Extract it and copy all its content to a folder on a card
3. Copy all your Warcraft 2 CD to the subfolder wc2 (don't create a folder)
4. Create a shortcut to stratagus640.exe
5. Here you go!

EDIT: People below are right, in fact you don't even need your original Warcraft2 files... So my 3rd step is not necessary. Good to know

It ran ok for me by just downloading the wargus.rar file and running stratagus640. What does copying the warcraft cd to your axim do? Add the cutscenes?
