Right now i'm migrating games from my dead ppc, which ran 2003se, to my hpc, mp900 with cmonex, and the main game I play, Orions Legend of Wizards, crashes at startup. wondering if anyone had any luck getting it to run on a hpc and how they got it to work.

A lot of ppc2003 games won't play for several reasons...most commonly due to graphics and the screen size.

You might try using Nyditot and rotating the screen and see what happens then. But if it is using GAPI with direct screen writes, then you may have other issues as well.

Moved to Windows CE 4.x .net

What happens specifically when you try to run it? Does it show an error message, does it freeze up the 900C, or does it mess up the display? (This will help us pinpoint the cause.)

It crashes with an illegal operation error, it crashes on the 2002 exe that's included. Checked it using executability check and I have everything it wants. It just crashes on me

Could possibly be a wrong version of aygshell.dll. Have you tried different ones?
