The full story
Solitaire and Card Games To Go was a 2002 CD-ROM of six card games for Pocket PC and Palm handhelds: Klondike, Spider, Golf, Hearts, Spades and War. The author found the CD at a garage sale. They decompiled the original Windows CE ARM programs with REA and Ghidra to recover each game's rules, layouts, card artwork composition and computer opponents. The notes, with function addresses, are in FINDINGS.md.
The games now run on a modern computer and in any browser on your home network. A public copy is at 2002solitaire.ozairkhan.com. Original quirks were kept on purpose, such as a King-on-Ace oddity in Klondike caused by the Ace being stored as 14.
