gx.dll missing, but game still works.

Using the BlitSample program as a framework, I'm just a newbie at PocketFrog. I got the sample application to compile and run, however upon startup I get a dialogue message that says "GAPI (GX.DLL) wasn't found". However, when I click ok, the game seems to run just fine. Should I worry about this? Why is this message there, and why does the game still work?

PS> I'm using an HP Jornada 548.

Thanks!

If GAPI isn't installed, PocketFrog will fallback on using GDI for the display.

Two problems with that:

1) Video performance will suffer (you can expect a huge decrease in performance).
2) Exclusive "locking" of the hardware buttons is not possible without GAPI.
