Looking for a game known as "Creatonia".

Hello!

When I was a little kid, for a brief time I used a PDA as my phone. It was an Hyundai A200 designed by AnexTek. Fun device with WiFi, bluetooth and phone functionality. Even had a camera. It ran Windows Mobile 5.0. Matter of fact I still have this device. I had to format it because enabling WiFi caused it to crash. Due to this I lost all the games that were on this device. I remember playing "Snake deluxe", "Guardians" and "Creatonia", last of which cab installer I haven't found. I got it working for palm os through some emulator on android but it had no sound and the screen was smaller, also it wasn't the same experience. Does anyone have this game laying around somewhere and couid I get my hands on it?

Thanks

How to increase storage on Windows Mobile emulator

I'm running Microsoft Device Emulator 3.0 with a Windows Mobile 6.1.4 Professional image on my Windows 11 Pro computer and I'm trying to install Call of Duty 2: Pocket PC Edition on it but the virtual device on the emulator only has 32 MB of storage and I need more to install the game. How do I increase it? When I try to install on emulated external storage (a shared folder on my PC), which has plenty of space, it doesn't install too. How can I install this game?

Any way to update the windows mobile on my PocketPC?

Hello all, Recently I have been searching far and wide for some sort of update tool for my mobile computer. I have had this device for a while, been installing software and tools on it (with it's tribulations) And am coming to the point where I am wanting to get a newer version of windows mobile on it, so I can do more with it. Right now it is running windows mobile 2003 (version 4.21.1088) And I am wanting to update it to something a lot better (possibly version 6) Because my only problem with the thing as of now, is how old the OS is!! I appreciate any and all help on this matter.

Possible to use a Windows Mobile Device in 2024?

Hey everyone,

Recently been wanting a Windows Mobile device (old kind, like an HP iPad or something, not Windows Phone) but finding one that works seems a bit difficult (mostly cuz I worry about battery life on something that's 20 years old)

What would y'all recommend? Just buy one off eBay and hope it works? Is it possible to buy a new replacement battery (as in, recently manufactured)

Thanks

A working weather app for Windows Mobile 5, 6, 6.5

Good evening everyone!

After searching around for quite some time I came across one that actually works. Elecont Weather still has their webpage up and from what I saw they have apps for moder android and IOS, and I guess they decided to keep their Windows Mobile app connected too.

In theory you need a key to use/activate it, but it has been on my HTC HD2 for more than a week now without activation and so far no issues. But that activation service might be down since whenever I tried to click on buying a key on the website, I got directed to a website which doesnt seem to do anything. This is the link to their website with the option to download the .cab: http://elecont.com/weather-for-pocket-pc.aspx

I also uploaded the .cab to my 4shared so its archived, although its fair to think that if the site goes down, most likely the service follows: https://www.4shared.com/s/f1J9hqRjIge

Start menu icons move around

Asphalt 4 Elite Racing was in the games folder, but for some reason it is on the root of the start menu now. Is there any way to stop that on windows mobile 6.5 and move start menu icons into folders manually?

Any working weather apps for Windows Mobile 6.5?

Good evening everyone!

I am curious if anyone has or knows about any working weather apps for this operating system? I tried most that I could find on mobyware.org, but none seem to work. I had especially high hopes for the two that said they use accuweather. Any insight would be appreciated!

Thank you for your time :)

Moto Q9h

Picked this up the other day and can get it running on mint mobile on edge. Wondering if there is a way to update it to 6.1 and if that would give me any better options for email/web browsing.

Also if anyone has links to working software of any kind that would be awesome.
