NSBasic sllows you to do that. It also works for some VB-apps. The demo version @ doesnt allow you to code your own apps, but to run them

I have a few old qb apps, and i like to play them as small fun games.  Too much messing round for quake, i'm waiting for fuzzyrabbit to finish off porting half life.<br>

Decompiling retail software is illegal. And it's useless, as it makes the code unreadable without any white space.<br>Half-Life won't run for all the rat's asses in the world on any current PocketPC. That's like saying Quake3 will run on a Pentium 133MHz. It technically does, but after you destroy the graphics, get rid of all the textures, and bring the sound quality down to 1hz.<br><br>I'd like to talk to this FuzzyRabbit person. He must be some kind of miracle worker, or a naive moron.<br>

yeah if he did get it to work... it would probably be a slideshow... and he wouldn't be allowed to distribute it.. (legal issues)

Just because you can do a thing...

...it does not necessarily follow that you should do a thing.<br><br>Whilst people are porting QBasic to the PPC do you think they could do LOGO too?  And maybe make a TI Calculator Emulator?

The source to that one VirtualTI TI Emu is available. I had it one my computer before the crash. And people aren't porting languages.<br>But if they do, they need to port MSVC++

egad...I was being facetious...<br><br>I was going to start ripping on all emulators but then I saw the C64 and got all excited....so I am guilty too.<br><br>So, now that that is settled...how about Intelivision?!?!?
