i'm really new to this~
anyways, i own a casio e200 and i tried downloading emulators from PcketGenesis and MBoy(Gameboy) using MIPS. (which i'm quite sure is fine)

so i copied the .exe files to any part of my ppc and i downloaded the roms to My Documents folder.

How do i proceed from here??

I tried opening the .exe in my ppc but it said that it was was invalid appplication.

So far, i've only been successfull with the PocketNES emu coz that's auto-install.

THANKS

Okay, first make sure that the files have a ".cab" extension if you are trying to install them straight from your Pocket PC. Second, it looks as though you made sure it was MIPS. Third, if its ".exe", then its auto install I guess.

First, the E-200 has a StrongArm processor, not a MIPS like the E-125 and previous. This might be your first problem.

Also, you probably need to run the .exe files from your PC rather than your PPC. Make sure your PPC is docked and ActiveSync is running. Then open the .exe file on your PC, and it will automatically install the necessary program files on your PPC.
