i just picked up an old pda for cheap but it runs windows mobile 2002. I know some of you guys have had windows mobile for years so what are some good programs / games that run on windows mobile 2002 and 32mb of ram?
why dont you try simple games like solitaire and bubble breaker
they will work i think....not so sure
most programs run even on pocketpc2000
it's binary code for the arm cpu
most apps don't use special wm5, wm6 features

well most of the programs that i have tried dont work. i am thinking that they are dependent on some dll files that are included in windows mobile 5+
but most of the programs that i have tried dont work. such as kevtris 2 pocket lemmings pocket quake vista hide battery gage vexed. when i try to open them most of them say x is not a valid pocket pc applacation
Some of the above programs are written in CF .NET, in which case you will need the matching version of the CF .NET framework installed on your machine. Programs that were written in Win32 Embedded C++ and compiled for an ARMv4 target should run fine.

is this the right one?
thanks
The version of the .NET CF runtime has to match that of the compiled program. To find out which version, you can use something like RedGate's .NET Reflector to open the executable.
In the mscorlib section, the version will be given as 2.0.0.0 or similar, in this case Version 2.0 of the .NET CF.
It will need the version 2.0 of the .NET CF Runtime. They can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
Other version of the .NET CF exist, i.e 3.0 and 3.5, it depends on which version of VS it was developed, and how it was configured to create the .EXE
I put a similar post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487533

TY for that info. at the compact frameworks all inclusive? can i just install 3.5 and call it good? or do i have to install each one? can i have more than one framework installed at the same time?
thanks for your help
"when i try to open them most of them say x is not a valid pocket pc applacation"
getting wm6.1 would most likely not help you there
as that error msg is the std error msg one gets when one
try to run a pc activesync installer app directly on the pda
you have to run them on the pc with the pda connected to activesync
i had both lemmings and quake1-2 running on pocketpc2003 without any problems
installs directly on pocketpc are never! exe's or msi's always cab's
all other installs are don on pc

not trying to be rude but I know how to use the installers. i am talking about windows mobile 2002 not 2003.
Bit late to update this post, but here goes.
The .NET Compact Frameworks are 'supposed' to be backwardly compatable i.e version 1 and 2 .NET exes should run under .NET 3.0 and later if their own framework is not installed on the device.
In practice there are a lot of ifs and buts. Run it, and see if it works. If not you will need the matching framework installing. It is almost impossible to predict what will and will not work.

Hi,
I am looking to make some wm apps.
i have got:
visual studio 2008 pro
wm6.1 sdk
wm6.5 development tool.
Do i need anything else?
hey,
i'm working on my own home app with more tabs.
to get info i have a lot of mini browsers.
but on wm6 it works great but 6.5 doesn't load the page.
it's the standard built in browser of visual studio 2008 i use c#
A n00b question..
ENVIRONMENT
Visual Studio 2008 C++
MS Mobile Pro SDK
MS Mobile OS 6.x
I want to add the HTC HD2 to the Microsoft Device emulator.
I got Josh's .NBH file and tried to convert it to a .BIN, but the resulting file could not be read by the emulator.
Is there someplace I can find the .BIN (preferably with the skin (.XML and .PNG/.BMP files))??
Thanks so much.
As far as I know, there is no way to emulate a device rom using the MS Windows Mobile emulator.
Oh, thank you, Steven; that is what I have read online, but I was hoping that it was not true. :/
Could someone be so kind as to point me to emulation alternatives, preferably accompanying MS Visual Studio?
Yesterday I basically found what I needed with the MS Mobile 6.5 SDK (includes WVGA).
Hi,
I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and want to program with Visual Basic for my Omnia with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, but there are no tools in my toolbox..i want to make a picturebox into my form.
I have installed the Windows Mobile 6 SDK already, what am I doing wrong?
