SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.
GAPI driver supports:
- all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)
with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.
- 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices
- special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices
- VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime
(between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can
use either GAPI or VGA.
- Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.
To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.
For example:
SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)
- WM2005
- SDL_ListModes
NOTE:
There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL.
- DirectX is not yet available
- Semaphores are not available
- Joystick support is not available
- CD-ROM control is not available
In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode:
