Ah, thanks. Was only searching the past 30 days apparently, but I suppose it was just as well that I posted since no one has said anything about it in many months.

Why don't you add a frozen sticky post entitled "Other Ports" or something similar, so people stop asking it? ;)

maybe because it won't (stop them from asking) and the final word on a Pocket PC port is not yet said.

I can safely say this. Exult will not be ported to the following platforms. They just don't support all the required C++ compiler or language features:
Pocket PC 2000
Pocket PC 2002

On the other hand, Pocket PC 2003 does support all features we need.

It's all just got to do with time. PocketPCs have unique user interface requirements that need to be addressed before even a 'beta' version can be released, and that takes time. Maybe you'll see something before Exult 1.2 is released, maybe you wont.
