Please Help: I can't run Pocket pc executables..

Postby Sindarin » Tue Jan 04, 2005 11:40 pm

I own a SIEMENS pocketpc with windows CE 2002 but I can't run any ge pocketpc executables.The ppc resolution is 240x320 like the one shown on the ge site.
I export a ppc exe from ge with the resolution set to 240x320 /hide mouse and fullscreen. but when I try to run it,then it pops up an error and says This is not a valid Windows CE application!
What can I do??
I just purchased ge pro only for the ppc support!
:(

Your Pocket PC uses ARM (Xscale, ...) processor?

It uses MIPS..
that's the problem.
Thanks for the help anyway.

I just want to ask you how accurate is the emulation on PC?
I mean I create a game which is meant only for pocket pcs but
I can't test it on one, only through the game mode within ge.
Can I be sure that it will run smooth on ppcs only having tested it in ge's Game mode?

No, you can't. The Game Mode don't emulate the real Pocket PC velocity. So, the best way at this moment is test on real Pocket PC.

I have the exactly same problem but i'm using the Pocket PC Emulator. Does any one knows if there is a problem with the emulator? Well... i don't trust M$ a lot.

The MS Pocket PC emulator is not a true emulator.
Their run WIN32 programs (x86 processor) and not accept
real ARM processor programs.
