Default Looking for a couple games.

Hi there everyone, I like most others have ordered my Dell Axim 400mhz handheld. And like everyone else I am waiting for a sign from the Dell Gods as to when I will recieve my Axim. But while waiting I am trying to find a few items for my Axim.
This will be my first venture into the pocket pc world. I have been living the old-school life with my Palm IIIxe since it was a top of the line product. My wife will be taking over the Palm when I get my Axim.
I have enjoyed my palm and will terribly miss a few programs I cannot find anywhere for ppc2k2.

1 - Collapse - this addictive game where the blocks pile up and you have to make sections of matching blocks disappear by tapping the block. If you know where I can find this please let me know.

2 - Dynomite - this isn't a plam game but it is on the MSN games and I can play this on forever.

Also any other recommendations for someone venturing away from palm to ppc2k2 for the first time would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Holidays

Marchaa

Default Snails

Check out Snails for an unrelated, but fun, game.

they should make a forum/giant post for anyone going from the Palm OS to the PPC platform.
This could include games, system utilities, OS updates, tips and tricks, and so forth. Just my $.02 worth.

Default Thanks

Thanks Jordanaholic, brickie was just exactly what I was looking for. And Fzara, I agree with the forum on the palm to ppc2k2 switch. This is a big step for me. I am really excited to enjoy the benifits of mp3's, video ect. I hope it is a good experience.

Keep on sending any ideas for cool games and apps, because I really need all the help I can get

Quake and SNES is too much to ask of any PPC, not just the Axim. They do run, sure... but not as well as you probably want them to. Haven't tried Simcity, but I see no reason it wouldn't run 100%.

What kind of speed do the best SNES emulators for Pocket PC run at these days (with sound)? I was really hoping we'd have near-perfect emulation with the XScale 400MHz devices, but the last I heard was, the emulators actually run slower on them .

What's the verdict? Will we not have the possibility of near-perfect SNES emulation on the Pocket PC until Intel's next processor release?

Default Well....

Maybe if someone does an xscale specific snes emulator that could use the 400mhz to its full capability??? I don't know I am not a programmer...but it seems worth a try.
