heretic - [heretic-demo_1.2-3_arm.ipk] [heretic-engine_1.0.4-2_arm.ipk]
ctux (cyclone tux) - [ctux_1.0.0_arm.ipk]
dtux (dancing tux) - [dtux_1.0.0_arm.ipk]
Well, Tux isn't really a game but it is funny. You will need to install
[qpe-libqtopia_1.6.0-13_arm.ipk] for tux.
A lot of applications written for prior Z versions still work for the C3000 and C3100, however, the
screen is rotated to portrait by default for those applications which can be changed easily. Most
require no changes to work, but some need some tweaking in order to work properly on the C3000
and C3100. Look in the customisation section for details for those.
Generally, feeds for Cacko and older versions of pdaXrom as well as pdaXqtrom are also good
sources for finding applications written for the older Sharp models. They will run on Qtopia and X/Qt
respectively.
The Sharp ROM on the C3000 is not really a ROM image. It really is a misnomer carried on from
previous models. The SL-C3000 doesn't really have a flashable ROM image with the full OS and
applications on it. Those are stored on the MicroDrive (harddisk) instead on the C3000. It really is a
Zaurus Linux distro packaged by Sharp. There are several other distros other than the Sharp one
available for the Zaurus in various stages of development. I have created a dedicated section on
alternate distros/ROMs for the SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
. The customisaton section that follows is
primarily for the stock Sharp distro but may also be applicable to Cacko since Cacko is an improved
version of Sharp distro with various customisations and enhancements already applied. I have also
created sub pages dedicated to
customising pdaXrom
and
customising OpenZaurus
for the
SL-C3000 and SL-C3100.
In addition, you can also run Debian packages if you install Pocket Workstation. OpenOffice for
example works under Pocket Workstation. See the X/Qt section for more details.
There are also lots of emulators available for the Zaurus with which you can run applications and
games for Nintendo, GameBoy, AppleII, Palm and even DOS. You can even run Java applications
and games from your mobile phone on the Zaurus with a MIDP enabled J2ME implementation.
I also build a few ipk packages to make it easier to customise the Zaurus. Here is a quick summary
of them and what they do. The customisation section has further details. The packages are zipped
(not for compression but to prevent them from getting corrupted) so you will have to unzip them
before you can install them.
