Mods, feel free to move this to another section as you see fit.

Ok, until VS comes out for MobilPC, you have to run VS using StyleTap on the Mobil PC platform. At this point I have downloaded StyleTap and have Installed VS on my iPAQ hx2400 series. It has a Intel pxa270 processor running at 520MHz.

At this point it does not seem to be running any slower as compared to my old Treo 600, the only issue thus far is redrawing of the screen. My peeps leave a trail of while they walk. This seems to be only while they are traveling vertically. When they travel horizontally, there is no trail.

I have that happen in my Palm version from time to time too. I usually just exit out and then re-enter the game again when that happens. (I still have the old VS version running)

Well I think it is more then that, I'm afraid. It happens 100% of the time. I'm guessing it is a problem with resolution as it (VS) is being run inside another program (StyleTap), but all is good so far, other then that.

Now if I could get Carla to send me the Reg ID I would be all set!
(hint hint to Carla Q!)

Here is my update running VS on Mobil PC using StyleTap. All went well with the only exception to the redrawing noted above.

My max population is 30 running VS this way. I don’t know why (Maybe Arthur or Carla or Barb can jump in hear and tell us why). I always thought it was due to available memory, but I have 22 MEG available in ram and 17MEG available for storage, so I can’t believe that would be it. I only had around 2MEG free on the Treo and I always was able to get up to 60.

Other then that, the speed was good and no other problems occurred.

Is it possible that, even though you have plenty of memory in your PPC, the amount of memory available to the applications running in StyleTap is limited?

Could be. StyleTap might impose some kind of memory limitation. That would be worth looking into.
