Err "execom_rt" - HELLOOOO? Can you actually hear me?

Is it NOTHING to do with reading video memory, it is to do with the copy from the memory buffer to the physical screen - this is COMMON knowledge for WinCE programmers... why do you insist on
A) Offering technical advice when you have ZERO technical knowledge
B) Ignoring technical advice from people who do actually know what they are talking about
C) Trolling this board repeating the same incorrect technical advice
D) Bugging Tekmaster and confusing him with your incorrect information

Are you trying to sabotage MameCE, because you are doing a very good job?
