After dens of unsuccessfil tries, i have finally found a way, how to install software to Windows Mobile 10.
There were lot of different tutorials, declared as 100% working, but they were not. But at the end i have found few months old reddit post, which looked serious. As i was almost convinced, that the installation of apps is impossible, i have tried it with no expectations. I was really suprised when it worked!
The solution was incredibnly simple. First step was to "unlock interop", no matter what it means, i have done it. Then there were some more possibilities in phones, some magic switches enabling magic functions.. I just followed the given steps and set-up everithing i was told to.
The next step was to use some installer tool, which runs in PC and which installs the .xap files to phone through usb. The issue was, that the tools runs just under Windows. As i have no PC with windows, i had to set up a virtual machine and bridge the USB connection to this machine and use all tools through it.
At the end, i have tried 13 games yet, and 12 of them are working, which is real success for me.
Personally, i really enjoy the "Hydro thunder GO", and also "Arkanoid 7" which follows the same principes as the old DOS or SNES arkanoid, which i really like.
I only have 4GB of space on my phone, so I will try to get as many games on it as I can, but maybe not the AA ones. In the end, I usually prefer the indie and logic games, so it does not matter to me at all.
