In what way(s) does it fail? Do you get a callstack at all? What happens? Screen is black? Pink?

Once, when I had a similar problem, in gameinit - I put multiple getDisplay,clear to a specific color, and update.

For instance, at top of gameinit, clear to red. then to yellow after a few things get loaded, etc...

That way, I could see how far the code was getting before it quit.

The game just exits. No info onscreen. I'm going to assume that it's at the point of PocketGL starting to draw stuff that it goes haywire. I will test tomorrow if I get time.

I did get the game working with HAL some months ago just for fun so who knows what's happening.

I'm not going to spend too long as I just wanted my game to work on my new X51v but it's not really important. I'm working my way into doing the next game really.

Shouldn't you be using EVC4 or VS2005 with the Axim x51?

well I have all the stuff downloaded and got the VS2005 DVDs from M$ but no time to install at present. Will do soon.

ok. Ran the eVC4 install. It installed the new platform mgr, rebooted & now the install wort carry on. Restarting gives an error. I'm copying the install to my laptop to try.

update: My desktop was missing a file autoexec.nt so the install was failing. Restored this file & have now installed the eVC4 system + the SP4

I'm having a similar issue. I have PF 8.1 (without the patches). When I build the blit demo, it runs fine on a X30 but when I try it on a X51v it locks up the X51. I recompile all on everything and it's still a no go. I'm also using EVC3.0, but this shouldn't be a problem. If you figure anything out Conan, please let us know. Likewise if I figure anything out I'll post here. Anyone else had any experience with the X51 yet?

Got it all working. It's just a case of doing a rebuild all on PF and the apps. So far only the release version seems to run on WM5. I also deleted all previous PF arm libs just to be sure I was linking the correct one.
