GameAPI with the Pocket PC 2003 SDK Emulator

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to create a lab for my students. I would like them to create a simple
video player application on pocket pc. The problem is that I don't have
enough Pocket PC for everyone.... so I want to have students developing on
the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator.

I have already done a video player application which is working fine on a
real Pocket PC. It is using the game API (gx.dll) to display the video
frames.

I tried to launch my application on the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator, and I have
got the following error : "MissingMethodException" on the lines invoking my
P/Invoke methods to the GameAPI... I tried to include the gx.dll file into
my project, but I have got the same problem...

My question is :
Is there a way to use the game API on the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator ?
Where does the problem come from ?

Thanks a lot!

Did you remember to use x86 build of gx.dll?

I just found that the Emulator should support the Game API... it's new since
the 2003 version. So I wonder what is the problem...

Any idea? thanks!

Thanks, that was the solution.

By the way, all .DLL files used on the emulator must be build for x86? there
can't be an emulation for ARM builds ? (my question is probably stupid, I
just don't know)

The emulator shipped with VS2005 is ARM
