We'd recommend downloading it from legitimate sites rather than crack and warez sites as we have seen this before with a 'cracked' version. It is impossible for the legitimate version to hard reset your device as it is contained within Microsoft's Compact Framework. Afraid we have no control over the software from warez sites and no way of stopping them.

I downloaded the trial version straight from your website.
My Compact Framework is the one that came with my device, a few versions old... could that be it?

There could be a problem with your device somewhere. The CF would never do that. We have literally hundreds of X30 users that never had that happen. May be worth contacting Microsoft and sending them the file you used. Sadly there were 'cracked' versions even before official release which were pointed out to us. When we tried one of those it hard reset our device too ! However if you have a genuine file from our site then contacting Microsoft with your issue may be the best bet.

Okay thanks. My device seems to be working fine with it after the hard reset though, so I probably gradually corrupted my CF somehow after my last backup (I develop with VS.NET2003 sometimes and test with my device).

I love Su Doku and the Mastersoft program is excellent. My only slight criticism is that the small pencil mark numbers 5 and 6 look too much alike. Can the 6 be made more curved?

Hey Davrol, whatever makes you happy ! Please sign into our support page and leave a msg in the SuDoku requests section. Be warned tho' it's pretty tricky with font size 5.

I’m going to have to set the record straight here.
Mastersoft are quite rightly promoting their product – they’ve put a lot of development effort into it and they want to make money from it. However, they are stretching it a bit with their claims:

On their own site they say:

“Mastersoft SuDoku. The Original and Best” – er, Bunnydoku and CrossNumbers were available for PocketPC more than two years ago.

“The No1 Best Selling Pocket PC Title Overall!” – according to who? I haven’t found this anywhere else except on the Mastersoft site or Mastersoft posts. Maybe they mean it’s the best selling Mastersoft Pocket PC Title.

In the news section: “Mastersoft SuDoku has hit No1 in the Pocket PC / Windows Mobile chart after just one week” – which chart is this? I didn't know there was one. I can’t find it anyway.

“Voted The Best SuDoku game available for Pocket PC.” – by whom? Where?

They quote ‘reviews’ that give it top marks, which look distinctly fishy…
Take the Fishwood blog review for example: “It will be one of the greatest puzzle games for the pocket pc... 9.5/10” – the review, done by 14 year old George on his blog site, starts with the full promotional material for the product. It was posted on July 10 before the Mastersoft product had been released (July 17 according to their site).

Shameless self-promotion? If you want to learn how to do it, take a leaf out of their book! Meantime have a look around and you will find some much cheaper (and in some cases much better) alternatives.

Shhhhhhh .... please don't tell everyone

Seriously though, perhaps before setting the record 'straight' you should have your brain looked at

Straight to No1 where ? Try here: IPAQ Choice

Note our Chess is No2 and our PAQman is number 4 :) ... if that's okay with you :approve:

Voted the best by who ? Downloaders at CNET, about 300 beta testers when they tried the beta for the first time, and the judges at PocketPCMag (the only SuDoku game nominated) to name but a few ...

Fishwood is 14 ? So what Kids play games don't they ? If you want a review by an adult try PDA247, PocketPCThoughts and various Sudoku sites .... Reviewers nearly always insist on pre-release copies so that the review is ready for the launch.

As for Original and Best. Well it is original and it is the best. Nowhere else will you get Grid transformations, picture sudoku, levels like our Master Levels, our rating system etc etc ...

Sounds like sour grapes to me ...

Here, here! :approve: :approve: I've tried a bunch of the Sudoku games out there--free and commercial--and I think Mastersoft's is the best one. And, having checked Fishwood's blog and posts here at Aximsite, I find him to be a very thoughtful and helpful poster for people like me who are a little older and who aren't game-maniacs!

I purchased this product prior to its release, the trial is up and I've not received my password key. :realmad: How do you get in touch with these folks?
