I found the directions for making morphgear work. This was created by someone else and I'm just passing along. It works very well. After you have made tme MG file. Save a copy incase you have to reinstall someday. Otherwise PM me and I will send MG to you which I have modified IAW the posted directions.

1. download and install morphgear 2.2.5.7 to your PPC, start it and choose GAPI as your driver. It will probably crash with access violations and stuff.

2. copy morphgear.exe from your PPC to your desktop, or somewhere else easy to find. note that this is *not* the morphgear installer, but the morphgear program that you will have to copy from your PPC after morphgear is installed. If you take the default install path, it should be at Mobile Device\My Pocket PC\Program Files\Games\MorphGear\MorphGear.exe through windows explorer while your PPC is connected.

3. download a program called resource hacker from http://www.programmersheaven.com/zo...t1054/16956.htm

4. start resource hacker (reshack.exe) on your PC, choose file->open and find the morphgear.exe file that you copied from your PPC. Again, this is not the morphgear installer.

5. on the right, you should see a folder called "CEUX" If you don't, you're looking at the wrong file, or the wrong version of Morphgear. Expand "CEUX", and expand "HI_RES_AWARE", which should be under it.

6. Click on the little green thing labeled "1033" under "HI_RES_AWARE" On the right, you should see something like "0002A168 01".

7. with "1033" selected, choose action->delete resource [CEUX:HI_RES_AWARE:1033], and click yes to delete it.

8. click file->save, and then close resource hacker.

9. copy the morphgear.exe on your computer back to where you got it on the PPC (overwriting the one currently on your PPC). Make sure you get the right file on your PC (morphgear.exe), resource hacker will create a morphgear_original.exe, which is not the right one.

10. start morphgear on your PPC and see if it works.

If it doesn't, check again to make sure that you chose GAPI as your driver under global settings in morphgear.

11. Make sure morphgear is also set to GAPI.

It works.

Well, since I backed up Sunday, I thought I would give this a try. However, the link no longer works. Can someone post a new link?

NM Found it. New link

Works like a charm. My screen still jumps, but all in all, it is more than useful. Dont forget your GAPI tweak!

RChickenMan

Or just use an older version of MorphGear with the GAPI tweak...

Well, I downloaded the new version of MorphGear (although I don't think anything has actually changed other than the setup), and I get close to the same speed as with doing this, so I think I'll leave it alone. :)

I think it was to originally help out with the access violations. But if you change the driver from GAPI or GDI to Auto, it works fine. Plus, I kinda like the graphics from the VGA (smaller but nicer looking).

I did this last month (using the same instructions)...the GAPI tweak makes Morphgear 2.2.5.7 crash if you don't follow these steps, but it runs so much faster with the tweak that it's worth it. Someone else pointed out that the newest version of Morphgear should work fine, so these instructions are probably obsolete by now.

Does anyone know why my touchscreen stops working whenever I load a game into MG? I can play the game just fine with the hardware buttons, but I have to soft-reset to get out of it. This makes it impossible to load/save save states or load another game on the fly. I remember it used to work fine. It does it whether I'm using true VGA or normally. Has anyone else experienced this?

I just tried the new version and I have to ask... what the CRAP? It's just so screwed up. I immediatly replaced it with good ol' trusty 2.1.0.0
