Before you start you need the Microsoft .Net compact Framework. After installing the MopiPhant you need to copy a standard emule server.met into the installation directory. If you don't have one try to google for it and you will find many locations providing such a file. Without the server.met the program will not be able to connect to any Server. If you still want to use the MopiPhant, you can download the cab files.

FAQ:

• What is MopiPhant?
• MopiPhant is a kernel port of the famous emule client  lphant to the compact .NET framework
• It is a tech demo to show that P2P file sharing is possible on mobile devices
• What is MopiPhant not?
• MopiPhant is not fully tested and it is no real alternative to an edonkey client on your pc, because of the already known problems.
  
• So what is it good for?
• It has been tested to connect to the emule network, search for files and download small files (only files less one emule chunk in size)
• Are there any known problems?
• The GUI is tightly coupled to the Kernel and does'nt use threaded GUI-function calls yet. So forcing the application to redraw, while for example searching for a file, will often make the application crash
• There is a memory problem. The MopiPhant like the lphant uses directories beneath the installation directory the save the shared files and the temp files during a download. Therefore it is recommended that you do not install it into the RAM. Another memory problem occurs every time the kernel tries to rehash a file. At this moment (for example: start time or if some data was downloaded) the kernel creates a byte array as large as a emule chunk (nearly 10MB) and crashes if there is not enough memory left.
  
• What is the license of MopiPhant?
• MopiPhant is under GPL, for more information please refer to GNU General Public License
• What is the origin of the source code?
• The main part comes from the lphant project . The kernel is a modified kernel version 0.7.
• There are some clases that are not supported with the compact .NET framework, but would have taken too long to re-implement. These were taken from the momo projekt.
• The MD5 implementation for the compact Framework is from the flow group.
• For handling compressed data the MopiPhant uses the #ziplib (SharpZipLib).
• What are the future plans for MopiPhant?
• If  there is anybody out there, who thinks it is a good idea to have a mobile emule client and downloads the file, there will be future releases where:
• memory problem is solved
• the later versions of the lphant kernel are ported
• the GUI is more stable and provides more data to the user
• Where is the source code?
• You can download the sourcecode it here! The changes I applied to the original code are marked with /// Changes for MopiPhant.
• I am a developer and want to work on the MopiPhant. How do I do that?
• If you are interested in developing MopiPhant, send a email to schlosser@informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de. I requested hosting at sourceforge.net. But it will take some days to get the answer if this project can be hosted there. Meanwhile I hope we can manage development using email.
