Hi,
Is it possible to put Windows ce based software(like Becker navigation) on a Windows mobile based Smartphone??
There must be a kind of Emulator, doesn't??
I am using a Htc diamond with windows mobile 5.2
Would be great, if anyone could help me!!!
Thanks
most software would work out of the box
but something which require special hardware
which it sounds like something called "Becker navigation" would
is not likely to work
it's the same core and most wm software run just fine on CE
that of cause is if it's the arm version of CE

Can any one explain the difference between CE6 and crossbow? and emebeded
I saw a Evaluation kit (platform builder) is freely available

Hi there....
ce6 is the fundament of crossbow (wm6) like ce5 in wm5 ....
embedded is winxp ... you can just make an winxp for devices they doesn't need much drivers.. like cashes ...
Also, CE5 (and CE6) are used for embedded OS for things like in-car navigation systems, where the end user never sees the OS, only the apps designed to run on it.
I am not sure if WM6 is built on CE6.. I think it still uses the 5th version kernel.
the windows mobile 6 being release as crossbow is actually built on WM 5.2 which is basically a shell for CE 5.
CE 6 will be released as Photon (prolly WM 7)
i was just wondering if it is possible to put Windows mobile on the Centro wich runs on the Palm OS by ACCESS 5.4.9.
I don't think older Palm devices have the capable hardware to run WM... could be wrong though.
Even if the hardware was capable of running the OS there is no chance of getting the drivers for this device so there is no way to put WM on it.
For any device to support windows mobile someone needs to write windows mobile drivers for every piece of hardware in that device.
there is a program that is call styletap it launcher you can run palm on window mobile it i expensive but it good
Styletap lets you run programs written for the Palm OS on a Windows Mobile device.
It will not let you install Windows Mobile on a Palm device!
I am thinking about purchasing a windows ce 5 device and was wondering if it possible to install the core player or TCPMP(from a cab) on it? If it not possible what other options do I have? Oh is it possible to upgrade a windows ce 5 core device to the newer windows ce 6? Also any way to skin these devices or something? Looking at the mpio v10.
i only messed a bit around with pure CE devices but some games i had on a sd card had a 50% work ratio
so i'd say that it's pretty likely that TCPMP would work
about rom upgrades then like with wm the rom have to be made for the device to work
so one cant just upgrade with any old CE rom
and wm6 and wm6.1 are still based on CE5 rather then CE6 which wm7 is supposed to be based on so upgrading could give more incompatiblity
Well it is a pmp/mp3 player that is running CE 5 but with a custom interface or something. But the devices codec support is a little on the weak side. It is called the MPIO V10, there is also a similar device called the iRiver w7. But you are saying it may not be possible to install Windows CE 6?
am'd saying that with all devices rom have to be custom made spc for the device
and i'm saying that wm6.1 still being based on ce5 so using ce6 could mean incompatability as no wm have as of yet been based on ce6
But I didn't mention anything about WM6 or 6.1? But thank you. Is there like a nice skin or something similar to TCPMP for CE?
Per the topic of this thread, Anyone knows?

Probably. I use applications made for Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5, and both work fine. Windows CE is backwards compatible for the most part, so things that worked on CE 4.2 (WM 2003) and 3.0 (PocketPC 2002) probably work on 5.2 (all 6.x builds of WM). I don't know what CE version WM7 will run, probably CE 6.x.
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?

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)
