Thank you, Tripredacus!

I'll go ahead and get my copy of Virtua Striker 4 photographed (to specification) and entered soon!

Requesting general sub-cat for Pocket PC. If created, it may be better to reorganize the categories page with a parent PDA category to include Palm OS, since there are items which list compatibility for various Pocket PC devices and Palm OS.

Using this first example, the system requirements list PC specs as well as PDA. Being a multi-format item, this item would be put into PC [NA] since PC is older than the iPaq or Pocket PC.

If there is an example where it does not work on PC, then we can consider it.

I noticed the PC system requirements, but PC is only used to install the data to a PDA device and not to actually play the game itself. Is that irrelevant to how we categorize items?

That said, the fourth eBay listing I previously supplied does not mention PC at all.

- Palm cat changed to PDA
- moved Psion Series 3 sub-cat from Psion cat to PDA cat
- deleted Psion cat
- created Pocket PC sub-cat in PDA cat

Palm OS predates Windows CE, so the Tennis Addict game will have to be put into the Palm OS sub-cat

Pocket PC is a class of device, and those devices run various versions of the Microsoft Windows CE or Windows Mobile OS.
Windows version requirements on the boxes are for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is a program used to transfer files to the Pocket PC/PDA itself and cannot be used to play games or run programs. So this makes it so they should not end up in a PC sub-cat.
