To get things stright, when we meant Morphgear going open-sourced, it seems you and a couple others got confused. Being open-sourced meant that you( or anyone who felt up to it) can port any emulator off the computer and integrate it using the Morphgear interface. Thus creating different modules that can be installed individually for anyone who wants it. Like to have snes emulation but don't like the turbo-gfx 16, just grab the SNES Module. This is convenient because of people who want to save space on their pocket pc. Now the only open sourced modules right now (meaning you don't have to pay) are:
SNES
GENESIS
TURBOGFX-16/PC ENGINE
That's all. Marat's "Commmercial" Modules are not free. They never have. Notice my quotations of Commercial. With 4 modules in one, Marat did a great job emulating:
NES
GameBoy/Color
GameGear/SMS
Gameboy Advance(A personal favorite of mine!)
They only recquire to be registered to get them going beyond the 5 minute testing period you are experiencing. $20 for each module is not bad either. In my personal opinion, I only use the gamegear/sms portion of the module because CEGG for pocket pc crashes/goes too fast on the new pocket pc's(X30 included). I also use the Gameboy Advance portion of the module because all the other gameboy advance emulators on pocket pc either:
1.Crash alot
2.Games must be uncompressed (meaning they can't be zipped)
3.Don't have sound
4.Extremely complicated to make them work descently
5.Compatibility list is outdated(meaning alot of games won't even load)
Right now I also use Pocket Nester for my NES gaming:

and Pocket GNUboy for my GB/GBC gaming:

I use these instead right now because Marat sorely needs to update the sound core. It sounds like a lead pipe beat the crap out of them. Pluses for Marat is that he updates his modules very frequently and soon will be releasing updates to his modules soon (they are already done on the desktop, he just needs to port them on posket pc now
!) Yes, he fixed his Gameboy Advance sound core though and he also update his compatibility list. Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories and Urbz will work now, plus he upt the speed! The GBA part of the module is faster now! So plz register, it would greatly push forward the growing of Marat's modules. He is already porting some code from the nintendo ds into the GBA module(soon to be released), thus meaning one thing.
He'll be making a nintendo ds module soon
! That should make things very interesting soon for you all and especially us at Morphgear. Pop by our Morphgear forums if you need any help with anything dealing with Morphgear! So to answer your first question again... GBA, GB/GBC, GG/SMS, NES are not open-sourced(nor free) and they recquire you to register them at an affordable price of $20 per commercial module....

! I meant instead of using Marat's NES and gb/gbc portion of his Morphgear module, I use Pocket Gnuboy and PocketNester instead. Sorry for the confusion.
