News

12/Apr/2008 - Version 1.2 released

Version 1.2 has been released, with the following improvements:

There is a new "Next Game" command for people who wish to play the games in numerical order.
The game number is now shown at the bottom of the screen.
Undo is now easier to access on Windows Mobile 5.
Undo is more durable, to help prevent the problem where the Undo feature sometimes hides cards. Unfortunately, I can not confirm that this problem is fixed.

15/June/2006 - Version 1.1 released

Version 1.1 has been released, with the following improvements:

Added support for Windows Mobile 5.0
Added support for VGA devices (With thanks to Jonathan Misurda, although to keep the program small I ended up rewriting most of his changes to avoid Microsoft's DPI-aware helper functions)
Improved support for square screen
Implemented full stack moving capability (Using FreeCells and empty columns)
Added cross-session game saving. Now your game will be safe, even if you soft-reset. If the game does not reload properly, please send me a bug report (see below).

4/Dec/2005 - Version 1.0 released

FreeCell for Pocket PC version 1.0 has been released. For bug reports and feature requests, don't hesitate to email.

Alternatively, you may want one of these files instead:

Previous versions

Version 1.1: Device CAB or Source Code
Version 1.0: Device CAB or Source Code

Notes on eMVC3

I use the SDK for Pocket PC 2002 to compile nandhp FreeCell. Unfortunately, it is no longer available from Microsoft. nandhp FreeCell can be compiled using eVC4 if you create a new project file. If you still want a copy of eMVC3, you may be able to find it somewhere else on the internet. The download was called evt2002_web_min.exe. The product key it requires is the same as the one for eVC4.

If you are reporting a bug with the game reloading feature and you have the experience and tools required to access the Pocket PC registry, please include an export of the registry key HKLM\Software\nandhp FreeCell\Game. Other information about moves you have made just prior to the program closing would be helpful as well.
