App of the Month [ June 09 ] Microfi Nitrogen 1.0 – finger friendly music player for Windows Mobile

Category: App of the Month

Microfi Nitrogen

Microfi Nitrogen is a native opensource Windows Mobile application that allows you to play MP3/OGG songs stored on your Pocket PC device.
It features a file browser, full skin support, smart shuffle and repeat modes, a 10-band equalizer with preset support (8 included presets), built-in sleep mode, a blank screen command to prevent energy waste while playing music and many more new features. Nitrogen uses the MAD/OVD decoders, which are opensource. As the official releases of MAD for Pocket PC seem to be discontinued, Nitrogen uses the libraries from an opensource player (GSPlayer).
Nitrogen was build due to the lack of finger-friendly players for Pocket PC (you have to use stylus even for simple tasks). It features large buttons and you can browse among your playlist by drawing circles on the screen (using skins which support wheel component). In future releases the program will be expected to have other extensions support and more features, but such things are still being tested to ensure stability and efficiency.

No ScreenShot

Fuze Mobility had an interesting post today. Apparently not all WM6.5 uses a the games API ( GAPI ) according to Windows Mobile Team blog and there in lies the problem. Now the good news thanks to aceviper2 we have a solution to this problem. All you need is to install the attached cab and almost all games that you could run on Windows Mobile 5 / 6 / 6.1 will work on WM6.5

For those who want more info on GAPI
The Games API (GAPI) was a technology that allowed Windows Mobile 2003 applications to quickly draw graphics onto the device screen. It also contained functions that allowed an application to request all button press messages, even the ones that were normally intercepted by the Windows Mobile operating system. The graphics component of GAPI was replaced by DirectDraw (which allowed hardware acceleration) in Windows Mobile 5.0. Application compatibility was maintained so that older programs would still work.

PocketZac

PocketZax is an interpreter for a large number of Interactive Fiction (”adventure game”) titles. It is able to play Z-Machine games, which include all of Infocom’s classic games, and also an enormous number of games that have been created more recently using Graham Nelson’s excellent Inform application.

PocketZax should provide you with hours of entertainment — make sure you take a look at the Interactive Fiction Archive Games section for hundreds of games to play on PocketZax.

PocketZax should support all V1 to V5, V7 and V8 games, including the original Infocom titles (though I’ve not tested it on a huge range of different titles so please let me know if you encounter any problems).

The Z-Machine engine used by PocketZax (ZaxCS) is based entirely upon the “Zax” interpreter written by Matt Kimmel , ZaxCS is a port of Matt’s original version into C#.

Power Radio – a FM player with RDS decoding for VGA and WVGA Windows Mobile devices

Power Radio

The built-im FM player – at least on HTC HD – misses many features i’d like to have in a FM radio. PowerRadio delivers many data available via RDS which would otherwise be invisible to the listener. Here are just a few examples:
- Radiotext: contains information broadcast by the respective station. What you get here totally depens on the broadcaster. You might see title and interpret, call-in numbers, SMS trafficservice numbers, URL’s etc.
- traffic announcements
- program type
- coverage area
- date, time, timezone
- various status flags

Making of:
PowerRadio is built on top of flywhc’s GFMAPI, which currently supports Diamond, Raphael, Blackstone, Polaris, X1, Rhodium, Topaz.
Screen resolution is designed to work with VGA and WVGA devices only.
FM bandswitching is partially hardcoded for CCIR band (i might rework that in the future).

Credits:
Full credits to flywhc for his GFMAPI, which brings full RDS power to the developer.

Usage:
After setup when started for the first time, PowerRadio will scan the whole band for stations, storing them to the available preset buttons.
manual scan: long-press “scan” button to get context menu with various options
preset buttons: long-press a button to get context menu with options for store, delete, rename
ear/spk: switch between earphones and speaker
mute/unmute: self explanatory
blend: improves stereo reception and/or expands stereo base
stereo: switch between mono/stereo
