Hey guys.

I got this useful app that a programer has given me permission to post here being that he doesnt have an account on modaco. It started out as a Russian Application and he has converted to English.


This program is used for taking smaller resolution games (176x220) and upsizing it to QVGA. :)
on the bad note, not all games work with this, and not all games look good after this QVGA stretch, but others look good. :D
My Little Tank
Super Miners
Worms World Party :D
Marble Worlds
MotoGear
6th gear ultimate challenge
Midtown Madness 3 Mobile :D (looks great too)
*Bounty Hunter Pinball and
*Full Hand Casino
*tennis addict
*Feather-snake ExBubble
*MotoGear
*PocketGBA (from sunbug.net)
*ArkaBall
*Foo Fighter
*G-Prime
*Li-Nuggz


also ive included the QVGA version of cell doom, being that its freeware. just remember to add the XG.dll file from the SCALE folder.

Bad as in hard to look at bad or Michael Jackson bad? I've tried it with those same two games and it works beautifully. A little sloppy on the menu for Midtown Madness and the startup for WWP, but the in game graphics are pretty damn good. The graphics for Midtown Madness are nice enough, but just like the mophun version of Carmageddon, I would imagine any 3D type games actually made for a QVGA screen could look better (look at Raging Thunder for instance).

Thanks for bringing this over here to Modaco. I think everyone here'll get a real kick out of it.

EDIT: Just tried it with Cocoto Cart Racer and it doesn't work. Not that it said anywhere that it would; I was just hopeful. Fertheluvvachrist why won't someone develop a Mario Kart-esque game for QVGA? I swear I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Oh, and while we're at it how 'bout Ancient empires I and II?

hahaha michael jackson bad...im srue hes talkin about quality bad. basicly anything thats gonna look bad would be thin lines or small font. midtown madness 3 has a lot of bold font and good graphics, so stretching it really did nothing "bad". wwp u could see the difference but it was still enjoyable to play and excited that it finally fit the screen after the years of searching for a QVGA version. words are a little sketchy but still very readable.

but look at it this way, would u rather it look like a little game in the middle of a black screen or somehting that fills ur screen and still doesnt look half bad. didnt it already look "bad" when it was small in the middle of the screen?

Here is it. Use program from the first post, then rename one of dlls to xg.dll and put with a game.

Well it doesnt work fine with me. I do everything step by step, i have patched exe and ve'got XG.dll file (whatever which) in the same folder. When i want to run WWP.exe (worms world party) I have 'access denied' error on my device, but when I run SMALauncher.exe it runs and then freezes ... I have an SPV c550

Any ideas? thanks in advance

I am using, app unlocked WM 2003 SE without .Net 2.0 onboard but [1.0492.00], maybe thats the key

Midtown Madness 3 Mobile (looks great too)

I get an error too 'MM is not valid Windows CE application'.

I wanted to give a try this .Net 2.0 thing, but I cant really find WM 2003 version...
