Guest c0052372 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 How do I install an application to my MPx200? I've copied the file to the SD card now which programme do I use to actually install it on the phone?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 If the apps are in .cab format place the cab in IPSMWindowsStart MenuAccessories Now on the phone go to Accessories and the file will be there ready to be installes.
Guest c0052372 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 I can then remove the .CAB files correct?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 The cab files will self delete :lol:
Guest c0052372 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 Lovely, thank you. All is well now appart from the fact I can not install Doom
Guest alphaflux Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 For Doom there is no automated install; you have to manually copy the files to the phone. Just copy the files to a directory on your phone, I use Storage CardProgram FilesGamesDoomSPV. Then create a shortcut file in notepad on your PC (call it Doom.lnk) containing the line "#20Storage CardProgram FilesGamesDoomSPVDoomSPV.exe". Then copy the .lnk file to your start menu (IPSMWindowsStart MenuGames) and you're done. Hope that helps ... Alphaflux.
Guest lawsonium Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 When I put Doom on my SD card and created the link I did it in the way Alphaflux is suggesting, but it still didn't work. I then found out that the 'DoomSPV.exe' should be in a folder such as: Storage CardProgram FilesGamesDoomSPV but the Doom1.wad file MUST be in a further sud-directory like this: Storage CardProgram FilesGamesDoomSPVDoomSPV and the sub-dir must be called DoomSPV now it works A-OK (except for DOWN/LEFT on my MPx200 but that's disscussed here) Hope this helps a bit further. Matt
Guest alphaflux Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Yeah, I meant copy the DoomSPV directory as it comes supplied, which includes the lower level DoomSPV one for the WAD, but I can see why there was confusion ... it is a little unclear. Sorry about that.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 There is a copy of Doom in cab format, but DO NOT install it. The cab file has been badly written and even though it asks you where you want to install the game, it will only install to the phone and not the SD card.
