Hi folks,
I have found out that couple of PocketPC games are running in full screen (800x600) on the netBook PRO.
You have to first install of course GAPI for HPC (http://www.wincesoft.com).
SimCITY 2000: despite a few cosmetic issues in the top side of the screen, this game works nicely on the larger screen. CITY planing is much more fun now than the crampped PocketPC display.
Warfare Inc.: this works great, no glitches at all. A must have. The battleground is displayed correctly on the large screen.
MiniGolf: This was a complete surprise for me. This game is extremely fun to play and has some cool sounds. The game works incredible well on the 800x600 screen. Apparently their game engine is taking care to resize everything for 800x600.
BTW: if you want to play this: you have to press Z to go back and C functions as a enter key in this game.
I also noticed that some other games are also displaying correctly on the larger 800x600 (full display) but are difficult to play or cannot even pass 2 or 3rd screen due the system expects that you push some hardware buttons (which aren't available on the netBook PRO).
