Thx for the news. Now it officially supports my Smartbook
altho it's always worked with the Coxion Webbook setting. This GAPI supports all ARM devices
(except the "unique" j820...
), not just for 900C
So you still need to run Nyditot first to play games sideways, right? Not that I need to, you know with a WVGA resolution, hehe. And what's the "Pocket PC- specific DLL’s" they mentioned in the changelog? I suppose it would increase compatibility, but what games/apps actually need it?
I see Rich already dug up an old thread and confirmed a game that didn't work would now work. Good job! Are we going to see a lot more PPC games listed at your site?
well, the j820 isn't 16bit, probably that's why. i also have another ARM device that isn't supported, it is 8bit too, PC ephone-II.
(running core CE3, almost hpc2000.
)
(the problem with 8 bit devices that wincesoft's framebuffer address finder program is compatible with 16 bit screens only and for 8 bit i'd have to know the framebuffer address on my own
of course no one could find out the address for the ephone, so it cant have gapi... sigh
)
ppc dll's? the same plain dummy dlls you can find on my webpage and many other sites
basically all games need aygshell. if they wont work with the ce.net 4.2 aygshell found on your smartbook
(and on every other ce.net 4.2 hpc
), you need to hexedit for the dummy aygshell
maybe now arvale would run, a friend of mine has a netbook pro and always wanted to run this game.
(it requires portrait mode to run.. also, gapi.. now you see..
)
no need for nyditot, runs fine in 640x240. 
Anyway it seems to be a QVGA game, so why does it need portrait mode on a Netbook Pro? Isn't 600 pixels high enough for a 320 tall image?
