Fuze Mobility had an interesting post today. Apparently not all WM6.5 uses a the games API ( GAPI ) according to Windows Mobile Team blog and there in lies the problem. Now the good news thanks to aceviper2 we have a solution to this problem. All you need is to install the attached cab and almost all games that you could run on Windows Mobile 5 / 6 / 6.1 will work on WM6.5

For those who want more info on GAPI
The Games API (GAPI) was a technology that allowed Windows Mobile 2003 applications to quickly draw graphics onto the device screen. It also contained functions that allowed an application to request all button press messages, even the ones that were normally intercepted by the Windows Mobile operating system. The graphics component of GAPI was replaced by DirectDraw (which allowed hardware acceleration) in Windows Mobile 5.0. Application compatibility was maintained so that older programs would still work.
