something like this would help: ==== #define appGameLibCreator 'gLIB' // yes, i registered it :P #define glibFtrLCDControllerType 0 // what display controller? #define glibFtrLCDMemoryBase 1 // base address for controller? // internal graphics controlled #define glibDisplayMotorolla 0x0100 #define glibDisplayMotorolla328 0x0101 #define glibDisplayMotorollaEZ 0x0102 #define glibDisplayMotorollaVZ 0x0103 #define glibDisplayMotorollaMask 0x01ff #define glibDisplayMotorollaBase 0xfffff000L [default address, check ftr] // external graphics controller (epson) #define glibDisplayEpson 0x0200 #define glibDisplayEpsonSED1375 0x0201 #define glibDisplayEpsonSED1376 0x0202 #define glibDisplayEpsonMask 0x02ff #define glibDisplayEpsonBase 0x1f000000L [default address, check ftr] // external graphics controller (mediaQ) #define glibDisplayMediaQ 0x0400 #define glibDisplayMediaQ11xx 0x0401 #define glibDisplayMediaQMask 0x04ff #define glibDisplayMediaQBase 0x1f400000L [default address, check ftr] // unknown/future display controller #define glibDisplayUnknown 0x0000 ==== comments from other game developers? i have considering writing this little "patch" that users install depending on what device they have and we could check for it from within our programs [games].. should i continue the development of it? [it would be a free patch] a user with a m130 will install gameassist_m130.prc for example. :) as new devices come out, we release new gameassist_xxx.prc files and update the "headers" for our programs? the reason for having the featrue for the address is that a licensee may change the address from its default :) who knows.. they have been known for doing crazier things. palm isn't gonna get off their backside and do it - so, this is it. // az [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ardiri.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
