Hi All,
I'm about to start my first Pocket PC game and I'd like a some ideas on what pixel formats I should support. Is it worth still supporting 8 bit displays anymore, or just go for 16 bit? I assume its possible to inline _asm {} where you want? There seems to be a lot of sample code around with pixel loops in C, whats all that about? Surely you want your blits / blends in asm? Also is the screen address returned in GAPI guaranteed to be 4 byte aligned to allow 32 bit load/stores? I'm going to be using eVC & emulator to debug, is everyone else's single step (through source) very sllloooow?

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

There is a seperate armasm.exe that compiles ARM assembly to obj files. there is also one for the SH3, but none for the MIPS (I think you can purchase one, though). The syntax is described in the help files. You can also tell eVC to show the ASM output the C compiler creates through the project settings page.
