XV6800 - Old games MSFT Entertainment Pack
Hello - I am a newbie. Have an XV6800. Would like to run some small games programs
that I have run on every Windows from DOS, 3.1, 95, --Ã* XP. They came from original MSFT Entertainment Pack. Were bundled w/an old AST machine under ASTWEP monikker. It includes following games: Dr. Black Jack Chess Fuji Golf Go Figure Jezzball Pegged Rattler Race Stones Tetravex Tic Tactics I have all the files --- .exe's; .dll's; .wav; .hlp; etc ---- but they only hold the CODE which is likely VB .003 !!! ( I "ported" them over to every subsequent rev of Windows, and also the "vbrun100.dll" which is required, and they work fine.) However, I can't even find the \system32 directory in WM6 !!! Does n e budy lnow how to get these to run on my phone ? Also, would like to move FreeCell, as well. Will I need "Visual Studio" and " Windows Mobile 6 SDKs" ?? Thanks for help. HF |

Re: XV6800 - Old games MSFT Entertainment Pack
You might be able to run the programs via a DOS emulator, but they won't run natively on a Pocket PC otherwise... If you have the source code, you could likely get a copy of any of the .NET Visual Studios and build a PPC version of the code... (You would have to rebuild the GUI for each app tho...) Unless you like a challenge, I wouldn't bother...
I'm pretty sure most if not all if the programs you mentioned have freeware versions designed for the PPC if you just do a search like "WM5 Black Jack Freeware" in Google... (I found this as an example: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...jack-beta.html ) |

For what it's worth, Linux does this too... Binaries compiled to be run on a Linux PC cannot be run directly on a Linux PDA, they have to be recompiled and formated to fit the screen... The only exceptions are when you use emulators (either in hardware or software...) |
