Do you have a x50v? :wink: Did you ever tried stuntcar extreme, cube, Solterra, 3D chopper, etc. (all specially programmed for the graphic accelerator and VGA screen)? 8) If not, ask your question later after you try them.

Yes, I own an x50v (that's why I'm here :roll: ), and I've tried a few of those games. I just don't find gaming on the PPC very interesting (compared to a decent sized screen).

I'm starting to wish I hadn't purchased it...it just locks up my Axim solid after it finishes loading. :evil:

I'll keep messing with it, but I think I'm out the nearly 30 bucks...meh

exactly what I was about to say.

Ever tried to play Quake on a laptop even when you are on a crowded bus? Of course not, but on the PPC...

I think this would be a real blast. Even the port of the Original Quake that I like to play at such moments can get pretty immersive if you have the right frame of mind - and the volume turned way up

I loaded up the gfDoom port onto my K-JAM yesterday and it runs great. I still prefer Star Wars: Battlefront II on my PSP, but my K-JAM is always with me, whereas my PSP (and laptop) isn't
