General PocketPC game dev question

Yer not gonna need .NET just yet really. Most people use eVC3 (and eVC4 if you want to compile for WM2003 OSes but won't be backward compatible). One of the reasons for using eVC3 is if you can compile it for PPC2002 or even PPC2000 it should work in 2003, though there are plenty of exceptions to that rule. If you compile exclusively for the latest OS, you rule out potential customers that are content with their slightly older PPC model. Many devs will compile two versions if they find a problem in 2003 PPCs where there may be none in 2002.

Does that answer your question?

Sound Advice. MikMod is free but lack of documentation can make it tricky. But you don't have to be a genius to get it working. FMod is easier to get working right away but the license is pretty heavy. Use it if you know for sure what you are getting into.

Presto: How's development of that game you were working on? I think it was a strategy game with the aged-paper-like map but I can't remember anything else.
