GAPI for E-105 and Quake

[mdkdue]

Does anybody think a E105 version of Pocket Quake is now possible?

[Dan East]

A version is being attempting using that API for H/PC Pro devices. We'll see how that goes first. The problem with CE 2.11 devices is that another, larger library is missing (stdio).<br><br>Dan East

Thanks for the reply Dan. I don't know anything about programming so I can't comment, but it would be nice to see the project attempted.<br>:)

How would you work around stdio on win 2.11 devices?

[Dan East]

The easiest way would be to create a stdio.lib library containing the needed stdio functions. The replacement library would then make calls to the Windows API (CreateFile, ReadFile, etc) to do the actual file I/O. Years ago I heard of people creating such libraries, but it is only recently that more open development has occured for Windows CE. Originally nearly all Windows CE software being written was proprietary, commercial software, so very little code sharing was going on.<br><br>Dan East

Couldn't anyone reverse engineer the stdio.lib from the WinCE 3.0 platform and work on converting it by looking at the lines of code?  I haven't really started to learn programming yet, so forgive me if I sound ignorant.

[Dan East]

No, decompilers are not a true reality. Especially for the types of processors used for Windows CE devices. Creating a stdio.lib would not be that difficult. I just don't have the time. The fopen function would require the most work; parsing the flag string to determine the appropriate flags for CreateFile. You would also have to convert the filename to Unicode.<br><br>Dan East
