Microsoft contacted me about putting some of my games on thier Marketplace to showcase. The full supermariobros. game(6 full levels) was their main focus. I was excited becuase I never even tried and yet they contacted me. Problem was the game didnt pass Microsoft inspection. here is the details

Thanks...
We have tested some of the games..there is a problem which will cause it to fail Marketplace certification.
When running the game, it is necessary for the game to be interrupted by a phone call and resume once the call is over without quitting from the game.  Additionally, when playing the game, and the user press the home button, the game should not quit but goes to the backgnd and resume again if it is activated again.
 
Was this built into your games?

I responded that 3 of the games including supermariobros. did pass my own inspection on touchpro2. Iam waiting for them to get back to me
but Iam wondering if you have any updates to windows mobile exports bin. file. Thank you for your time

We have problems with phone calls. Some devices works other not.
Also, Game Editor catch all keys thats the system give access.
The system give an access thats game can't have!

So, the engine is not ready to the Windows Market Place yet :-(

Krenisis is absolutely right.
Do not waste your time to Microsfot Marketplace.
Last year, I spend 10 months for making 5 Pocket PC games.
The return, I don't even get a penny.
Besides, Microsfot Marketplace payment system is very very bad.
Security system is nothing.
