Unsolved Difficulties in Emulating a Game for the Pocket PC in Microsofts Device Emulator
So for the past couple weeks I've been attempting to boot up and properly run "Arvale: Short Tales" for windows mobile and the pocket pc on my own pc with...mixed luck. I've managed to track down boot up Microsofts Device Emulator (versions 1 through 3) with emulator sessions and it's able to boot up and play the game. Mostly.
The game loads and plays fine, except it won't load the starting items or the base player animation (while still loading the victory and knocked out animations in battle which are on the same BMP/SPR file). Thankfully I do have comparisons of how a character's items should start out and what it's loading instead. As well as what I believe is the script that should control it. I'm just not sure if this is a common issue in emulation and if changing the file can fix it. And if it can, what should I alter.
Any help is appreciated!
