I have install the game on my device, but I want to move it to my SD card, how can I do it and will the game run ok?

Another question, If I have my game on my SD card can Y play it when I put it on other device who has SD card?

The game itself can be put on a SD card, I've done it fine before. The missions can't though (They have to be in the internal memory).

My game's on an SD card... just install it to that directory, and you should see a folder called Handmark or something, open it, and look down the list of files to the little picture icon of a guy with a gun and open that. For missions, install them somewhere in internal memory, just cut them to the same folder as the icon.

If you have a Palm, get Zlauncher. It makes it nice and simple.

If you have a Pocket PC, I'd recommend putting warfare right into the My Documents area. You can then directly place levels via active sync to the game.

Actually, the missions work just fine on the card. They are copied to internal when the game is run, but automatically deleted afterwards.

If the missions are in internal memory when the game is on a card, how will that run? How will your device know which folder to go to when searching for the challenge missions?

Talking strictly pda here (ie Palm OS): When the game is "launched" from an external card, it is really copied to the internal memory, and then deleted on exit. The levels are put in the default "Launcher" directory in internal memory.

Some programs, such as AcidImage, automatically scan all directories and external cards for picture files. I don't see why a game such as WI could do the same for game levels.

if you have a palm you can copy the game onto the card just go to the copy button in the dropdown menu with delete, info etc
and copy from handheld to card just dont copy the missions manager
