I put a game with 320x240 on my windows mobile smart phone and it wouldn't load. I got an error saying "Not Enough Memory to execute the game". What do I do to the game to fix this?

This error happens when you try execute?
How much memory you have free in the device?
Can you post the game?

I have 650 MB on the phone itself and the SD card in it has 4 GB
It's any game. I tested all of my games on it. I even made one that was just a red screen as a test. I tried to open an .exe file on it to see what would happen and it said this program is not a valid Pocket PC application. Does this mean I need to make them Pocket PC instead of smart phone?

How many MB file size of your program?
You can try to reduce your file size by checking for
Reducing the quality and quantity of musics/ effect sounds
Resizing pictures
THen, it should be good enough to get a simple run.

It's 1 MB and just has a red rectangle covering the screen, no sound.

This is not a memory problem, but a compatibility problem.
Are you exported the game with the resolution of the Palm Treo (I don't know what resolution is)?

I agree with Makslane.
My GE software can smoothly run on Dopod smartphone.

So what is the problem on it? What do I need to do? The Treo Pro's resolution is 320x320 but the screen is a rectangle not a square. What settings should I use?

Dear UltimatHedgehog :
firstly
from what you said that Treo Pro's resolution is 320h x320w
and you screen device is not square.
in my opinion that means your screen device is stretch image when run application
Second
Some device will show run out of memory when they can't run application
like mobile phone [Symbian system]
but mobile phone didn't really mean it.
third
In my opinion you must try create simple application that match with your
"Screen resolution" not device screen size and test run application on your device.
I hope this should help you
Regards,
Chai

gameEditor can't export to prc, which is what the palm treo uses. Also I have been told that exes will not run on palm treo, so that is probably why it doesn't work. In that case you are out of luck with that device and gameEditor games, though it wouldn't hurt to look into it.
