If the game is in .cab format place the cab on the phone in

IPSMWindowsStart MenuAccessories then on the phone go to

ProgramsAccessories and run the game install from there.

If the game is a .exe normally this will be an installer to run from the

PC.

file is called sp11demo_smp I've unzipped the file and copied it to SD that didn't work so I copied it to IPSM/Windows/Start Menu/Accessories it came up with not a valid windows CE product :?

That's one range of games you do not want to try out as they are very bad ports from the ppc.

I have just downloaded the demo from handango and it is a .exe file to be run from the PC the file ends in smp.exe :)

Ahh I see....sorted now....I'm not sure what you mean by bad ports from the ppc could you please explain a little?

The games by OmniG Software were originaly on the pocket PC

and they have been ported over to work on the phone.

The problem is that no consideration was made to how well the phone

could handle the game, and rather than design the game to run on the phone properly it was poorly converted making the game unusable (a bit like Quake)

Games like this give the phone a bad name even though the problem

is not the phone but sloppy programming.
