In case your emulator also supports emulation of classic gameboy titles, there’s for instance “Taisen Tsume Shogi” available and several others as far as I know. I once tried one of these but it’s almost impossible to play them on a PC due to the low resolution. I don’t know how much hardware power your pda has, but the PS One also has many shogi titles to offer. <BR/><BR/>In case you own a Nintendo DS, I highly recommend buying “Watanabe Akira no Tsume Shogi” which supports the touchscreen. Besides it is very import friendly, since there are not too many menues to choose from. Something similar exists for the PSP by mainichi/mycom (Todai Shogi Tsume Shogi Dojo). <BR/><BR/>By the way, the best Shogi game on a mobile system I have played so far is Gekisashi Joseki Dojo which is awesome if you want to study openings or play against a strong opponent. Unfortunately, it’s an import title, and of course you have to own a PSP. AFAIK Shotest Shogi is also available for the PSP as part of a boardgame collection. In contrast to the Xbox and PC version, it is strictly 2d. A nice diversion offers Todai Shogi, both for PSP and DS (AI is a little weaker) by adding a quiz, where you have to find the best move in a given situation. Quite tricky.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696794080776388600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383565356609276860.post-47508483881947297542008-09-26T13:05:00.000+09:002008-09-26T13:05:00.000+09:00the viewable image size for my pda which is a comp...the viewable image size for my pda which is a compaq ipaq 3970 is : 2.26 x 3.02 inches, compared to the 2inch screen for the Game Boy Micro,but although i can get morita shogi to run when i put the emulator setting as full screen, i can't get Minna no shogi to work, which is a pity as i would have liked the 150 tsume problems to solve.In situations where its difficult to get a laptop out, and you want a shogi fix its ideal,though a little tiring on the eyes.<BR/>One way i tried to decipher the japanese in morita is to copy the japanese down when i get an understanding, with an english note next to it.<BR/>Luckily, as it's an emulator, you don't have to install software to display the japanese writing on the pda, as you would with a shogi viewer for pocket pc called shogi pad, however i've found a way of doing that for free, and i'll make that the subject of a future blog entry.supertsumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115677931319893722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383565356609276860.post-38061134405425727102008-09-16T12:41:00.000+09:002008-09-16T12:41:00.000+09:00Thanks for the information.

Since I don't own a pda, I used a gameboy micro instead, which is ridiculously small.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I don't understand much of the text, but it seems there is a tsume solver implemented, too (a very nice feature). It's a shame that I don't really know how to make it work. Sometimes I get a solution to a problem after pressing several buttons, but I can't exactly say what I am doing. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I found another good gameboy advance shogi game. It's called Minna no Shogi. Though it seems to lack some of Morita's features, it offers 150 tsume problems, has a superior GUI, and the computer opponent is not too bad either. When you choose strongest possible computer opponent (if I recall correctly it is 1kyu) and very short playing time (otherwise it is not so much of a challenge), beating this little machine is not so easy (at least for me).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696794080776388600noreply@blogger.com
