Problem with EdgeLib 2.95 and Hekkus on Emulator

[RobK]

Hello Edge,

I wrote a little jump&run game based on the great EdgeLib 2.95. It works nicely and so I want to add sounds based on Hekkus. Following the tutorial there were only few lines of code to be add to the source. On the PDA it works great.

But on the emulator of VS2005/SDK 5.0 the programm cannot be started: "<progname> or one of its components couldn't be found. Please be sure that path and filename is correct ...". The prog is installed correctly but I am not sure of the hss.dll. Is it correct that in PDA file explorer DLLs can't be seen? How can I get the DLL to be installed on the emulator ?

Please help, I am new to this forum and to PDA software developement.

many thanks,
RobK

Hi Rob,

Can you tell us if the program works on the emulator without using Hekkus?

Would you like to try copying the DLL in the same folder as your game executable on the emulator? Is the DLL visible after refreshing the explorer window?

Hi Rob,

Are you using .CAB files for testing on the PDA?

If not, we recommend using the cabwizard (cabwiz.exe) to create .CAB setup files. More information about creating .CAB files is at the bottom of the Getting Started tutorial: http://www.edgelib.com/index.php?node=38

If you've created a .CAB file with your game executable, resources and the hss.dll file, would you like to test it on your PDA and then on the emulator?
