Help an Axim x51v NOOB!

[Blinkenator]

Hi everyone, im a brand new noob to this community and to pocket pcs as well. I just got a x51v and so far by just messing with it i love it so far! But as i read around the internet it seems so complicated and overwhelming. I have a few issues and questions that would be awesome if you guys could help me out with.
Now straight from a hard reses what should i do to my axim? I mostly bought it for school (pharmacy) and for personal entertainment such as ebooks and games and drawing etc. pretty much i want to take it to the extent of its abilitys, like overclocking and such.

I upgraded my wm5 rom to A04 and everything is running great.I few questions is about this gapi driver. does my axim need this? I have downloaded 1.1 but i see there is a 2.0 or something. Does the x51v need that to play things such snes, nes sega games on morphgear? Also i am having a lot of trouble with the true vga mode I did the thing where you copy the files to the windows folder and then ran the .cab file, then put ozvga on and enabled true vga. it looks really nice but some of the menus the fonts are messed up. is there a way to fix this? should i have se_vga and oz_vga together?

Also when i am messing with the true vga mode i will have to do a soft reset and then it just wont boot at all. It freezes at the dell screen and the blue bluetooth light flashes, but it wont get past that point, had to to a hard reset. So basically i just want to know the firt things i should install or tweak or modify on my axim straight from a hard rest. What are the essential programs that i need to install? I know resco explorer is good, but i need some good medical progams, such as drug references. Any help would greatly been appreciated me being a pocket noob to the extreme.

THanks! :)

AFAIK the x50v tweaked gapi driver doesn't work on the x51v. It's still early days for us.

And some emus don't work on x51v yet either, but I did read that Morphgear works. I don't have my x51v yet, it's on order, so I can't confirm anything.

I highly recommend you read the pinned threads, and also the one called "WM5 is here to stay" by Solsie. It's the ultimate thread for WM5 users (which means all x51v users!).

Thanks for the quick response! Ive installed morphgear on my x51v and it works perfect with sound and with good frame rates and such, played snes games and nes games perfect. But there are a lot of axim x50 threads and such, would many of those threads or articles apply to the x51v? and could you give some good links to get real vga working well without screwed up fonts and such in some places. Is it best to install programs onto the system mem and things such as music pics and videos on the sd card? or should i install some programs on the sd card? 1gb scandisk


Oh and is there a way to remove program icons fron the programs list, such as i have resco file exp and dont want built in file explorer icon on there, and is there a way to make it a list view instead of big icons. these are all probably noob questions so sorry!


Thanks!
