"Menneisyys" – The definitive, ONLY guide to playing arcade games on Windows Mobile


I’m not even going to try to summarize this one. I am however reading it now and have intentions of implementing this on my hx2495 shortly. Unfortunately work is getting in the way…

But if you have dreams of playing “arcade” games on your Windows Mobile powered device – it looks like your day has come. Dream no more.

As arcade games were produced even in the 2000′s, there are really quality titles around. For example, I don’t think you’ll be able to show me a 1942 clone for Windows Mobile that is better than 19XX or 1944 written for the CPS-2 arcade machine (and perfectly runnable on a better Windows Mobile handheld!) This means there is a plethora of up-to-date, visually and, sound-wise, absolutely stunning action games well worth emulating on our mobile devices.

Keep in mind that, in this complete guide & tutorial & roundup, I refer to all the games ever released for arcade machines – both 25-year-old early games and 5-10-year-old, really advanced ones. Of course, I’ll put definite emphasis on emulating newer systems to ease the lack of high-quality, comparable 2D action titles on Windows Mobile (WM for short).

Actually it was a great write-up so any attention we can draw to it is well deserved. I’d actually never even heard of Finalburn – but admittedly Doug is our resident gamer. To be honest if I can play 1942 again I’ll be happy :)

Yeah, I saw this, it was a great write up. I thought about posting it as well, but Brandon beat me to it. Great job (as always).

Not only 1942 but all its (technically VERY advanced – even better than Skyforce Reloaded!) successors written for the CPS-2 – 1944 and 19xx. They REALLY rock on Finalburn – a must to try.
