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.

hmm keep talking, so i need .net cf for windows mobile 2002? right?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/...11-194b-4c00-b445-f92bec03032f&displaylang=en
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.

Is it poossible to get DCT4 unlocking software on my XDA 2? I have a few programs for my PC but none of them would work on a pocket pc.
Is this type of software out?
Thanks
Richard
would also be interested in somethink like this, would b very handy, its hard unlockin mates phones while talkin via text msg's :roll:
Cant say I have ever heard of any, also searched the web but can find nothing like it either.
ive tried installing dos v6.22 on my xda but it doesnt want to run the dos program of it either says its a win32 file
shame no one cant convert it to ppc would come in use quite abit.
http://www.geocities.com/indearcito/pocketpc/
exe files / programs are binary files == files compiled DIRECTLY! for the cpu
since pc's and pocketpc's cpu's are no compatible pc programs dont! run on pocketpc's
ofcause an x86 emulator could be made but it's hard to do if it needs to be 100% compatible
and even then i'm sure there will be many limitations
with .net exe files it can be don if the pc compiled .net exe dont use any controlls absent in .net compact framework
Hey guys,
I am a programmer at heart and have developed in many different languages(C,C++,Java,PHP,ASP...). I want to begin developing applications for the Touch Pro (WM 6.1) but I have no idea where to start. My biggest fear is downloading the WM 6.1 emulator messing around with it for weeks only to find out that's not what I should have been using. Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I should start? Are there any tutorials out there for programming for this phone?
I also noticed that the WM 6.1 emulator didn't support the 480x640 resolution that the HTC Touch Pro uses...
Thanks!

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 + Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK + Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK to develop....and this book "Programming Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Third Edition". Its for c/c++, from basics to create drivers, services, etc

Do you know of an emulator for the HTC Touch Pro? I downloaded a program that I know works, and was able to compile and run it on my phone but when I tried to run it with the emulator it was missing the HTCSensorSDK.dll file... something fairly new i presume. I tried default emulator and the Windows Mobile 6 Professional VGA emulator but I was wondering if there was one available for this phone yet.
I want to know the same thing
If/when you find an answer to this I would love to hear about it or see a post on it. Thanks.
There's no such thing as a software-only emulator for the Raphael's hardware, that would be incredibly complex to create for such a task
What the developers use is called a "Board Support Package" - it basically contains all the raphaels hardware, in a PCI card that gets installed in a slot in the computer.. that way all the drivers, etc can be loaded and everything can be tested as it would be on the phone itself.
There's pretty much not a chance in heck of you getting one of those (although if you do, send one my way, I would love to have one )
The emulators are useful for testing generic software that does not tie into any of the features that require raphael hardware. There should also be emulator images to support all resolutions (qvga square, qvga, vga, not sure about wvga/wqvga)
And, here's the link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...52-f89e-4354-84ce-5d19c204498a&displaylang=en
Looks like it does in fact come with wqvga and wvga emulators
Note that you can use an emulator kitchen to add SOME of the htc stuff to the ROM image, but none of the drivers that support the htc hardware will function.
Hey
I am new at this board but I hope that you can give me an answer to my problem. I´d like to run "Max Tilbergs A Viking Saga" (For those who´ve never heard about it: It´s a game for PPc )
The Installation is no problem but when i try to start it there came a window and say that it is important to install the "emBedded Visual Basic Runtime" for this prog. So i googled for this but i found only a version for windows 2003 of this programm. I tried to install this version - nothing changed.
Maybe someone could help me with this little problem .
MfG
Tobi
P.S.: sorry for my bad english
Hi,
the file from typhur worked for me (but not on storage card). "A Viking Saga" works now
Embedded Visual Basic on WM5?

TrashX
embedded vb 3 was the last vb without being vb.net which don't use vb runtimes
but old 2003 vb runtimes should work ok under later devices

when I try to install this I get the installation file is not intended for this device
I just bought a Windows CE 6.0 device called the A81 MID that has the following specs
7 inch 800x480 lcd screen
Arm Cortex A8 600mhz
256mb ram
WinCE 6.0
I bought this thinking since i can use alot of wince apps on WM phones it would work the other way around too
Im trying to install Skyfire and Opera on the device because IE sucks on this device.
Every time I try to install a .cab ile I get the error "not a valid windows ce setup file"
Whats strange is that a lot of programs i have that is designed to run on WinCE won't open on 6.0 either
one example was FinalBurn CE .14, nothing happens when i open the .exe
Even the classic CAB installer to manage cabs from self destructing when installing fails to open and gives me the error "not a valid windows CE application"
Is this problem unique to this device or to WinCE 6.0?
The CAB files include some information saying on which platform and/or version of the OS it can be installed. IMO this is the only issue that prevents the application to be installed on your notebook, and this will also result in the error message you wrote. It's the same message that appears for instance when you try to install an application that requires WM 6 on a PPC 2003 device.
Since WM is based on Windows CE it's usually no problem running WM applications on Windows CE, unless you don't access any telephony APIs or any other similar stuff explicitly available only on the WM platforms.
So you can just go ahead and extract the files and registry settings from the CAB and install them manually, or re-create the CAB with different version requirements. If it doesn't work then I dare to say it's 100% the reason that some special WM APIs are used.
I managed to run some WM application on a Windows CE emulator. They are actually working fine, though the GUI doesn't look very good because they are optimized for Mobile phone screens and not adapted to the Windows CE "Desktop" OS.
I also have a Windows CE notebook and I'm planing on porting Nitrogen to it. If I have the time. Some day. Eventually. Yes.
Edit: problem of some WinCE applications not running on your machine might be that they are designed for WinCE 5. WinCE 6 has a re-designed kernel and some APIs are obsolete.... It's the same problem that will happen when we'll be switching from WM 6 to WM 7.
any ideas on how i can extract the registry and files? ive tried a couple of cab extractor and they all end up giving files with weird names and extensions such as skyfir34580.001 and other rubbish like that. Winrar gives me even worst filenames. is there any kind of tutorial you can point me too? i have no programing skills so porting would be way over my head.
have you had anyluck installing skyfire 1.5 or opera 10 on a wince device? also have you ever gotten finalburn to run on your wince devices?
search for MSCEInfEn
to create a new CAB look at this:

thx for the explication RAMMANN --
i plan to buy a windows ce '7" mini netbook' and i want to use all WM6/6 progs from PPC (if hardware supports it, of course)
I am somewhat behind the times with my hardware, but it works for me. I have an HP Hx2490b, flashed to some (possibly cooked) version of WM6.1 (I really don't recall the details). I run and love CryptoCard, an old but very convenient password tool. The developer, a chap named PMMAX, used to be very supportive but has fallen off the radar.
My problem is I've noticed an anomaly in how CryptoCard works. I know it USED to work right, but I have no idea how long it has been this way (the problem is that it should "lock" after a time-out or after a power off/on cycle. It doesn't. I have to manually kill the application (easy enough with WisBar, but not the right answer)).
I'm trying to figure out why it no longer works. I have NET CF 1.0 SP3 and 2.0 SP2 installed. The software states it requires .NET CF 1.0 SP2. While SP3 should work fine, I want to rule out any problems with changes between SP2 and SP3. I have scoured the 'net, and all links to CF 1.0 SP2 point to Microsoft, who only has SP3 available.
Does anyone still have a copy of the install for .NET CF 1.0 SP2 hanging around?
Thanks,
Harry
