Top 5 emulators for Windows Mobile - Mobile Minute

ScummVM - Beneath a Steel SkyIn the last two Mobile Minutes we've focused on productivity tips: How to sync your PDA with Thunderbird, and replacements for the built in file explorer. But we all know the real reason you lug a tiny computer around with you isn't to keep your contacts and appointments within arm's reach. It's for playing games in board meetings.

With that, we bring you Download Squad's top 5 emulators for Windows Mobile. Each of the following programs has been tested on a PDA running Windows Mobile 2003SE with a VGA screen. They should all work on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices with VGA or QVGA screens.

Keep in mind that while the emulators are all free it is against the law to download commercial video game ROMS. There are a number of resources out there for finding free and legal "homebrew" or demo games. Or you can always convert your own game cartridges or discs into ROMS.

Updated Playstation emulator for Windows Mobile

FPSCEAnother holiday has come and gone, and you've discovered nobody loves you enough to buy you an $800 video game console. But if you've got a Playstation Portable or a Windows Mobile devices (particularly a Dell Axim X50v or X51v), there's good news on the video game front.

Engadget's reporting that hackers have figured out a way to make the Playstation emulator for PSPs more useful. Now you can play pretty much any Playstation ISO on a PSP, and not just the titles you can download from Sony's online store.

In other news, FPSCE, a Playstation emulator for Windows Mobile devices has been updated to include support for Windows Mobile 5.0. The latest version is also optimized to take advantage of the Intel 2700g graphics accelerator in Dell Axim X50v and X51v models.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
