In XP and Vista applications can be run in compatibility mode if for whtever reason they do not run in the latest version of windows,
In the similar way is there anyway of running an application in WM5 mode ?
I have a program that does not run properly on WM 6, but i don't like the idea of having to run WM5 just for this 1 program.
no 1 have any ideas on this ?
i think this doesn't exists at all on windows mobile platforms

Emulator Images for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition software for Pocket PC

sorry no i do not know how it works. If it is like hte emulator for my psion 5 you just run it in a window. May also need the sdk which is in a link at the bottom of hte page.
Hello friends,
After some work I have finally gotten the command line interface (Dos Prompt CLI) to work on the Tmobile Rhodium with the stock ROM and Windows Mobile 6.1.
Here's what you need: Microsoft Windows Mobile Developer Power Tools available for free here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en
Within the Microsoft Windows Mobile Developer Power Tools package extract the folder called "PPC Command Shell - Command shell for the Pocket PC 2003 device." Do not worry that it says "Pocket PC 2003", we will make it work on Windows Mobile 5/6! (for background information read http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=122&cpage=1#comment-102893). You will see three files: shell.exe, cmd.exe, and console.dll. Place the console.dll file in your Windows directory on your device (in our case, on the Rhodium Touch Pro 2 the Windows directory takes a long time to populate, but it will, add the console.dll to it). Then move the shell.exe and cmd.exe file to another folder on your device. After you are done with the below instructions you will be able to link directly to the cmd.exe file and run the command line terminal.
For the command line to work you would normally need to toggle the following registry key between "0" and "1" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo
By default it is set to "1" which disallows the command prompt to run, we need to set it to "0" to enable the command prompt. But, the caveat is that upon reboot it's best to have this key set to "1" otherwise your boot process is extended by about two minutes and you will get two open command prompt windows upon booting which you will need to manually close to go back to your home screen (annoying, but not a huge issue). In order to avoid all that, I have created a two simple Cab files which toggle the above registry key between "0" and "1". Before running the command prompt I run Command_Line_VISIBLE.cab (which turns the registry key to a "0" and when I'm done with the command prompt I run Command_Line_INVISIBLE.cab (which turns the registry key back to '1').
If you forget to run Command_Line_INVISIBLE.cab when done with the command prompt it's no big deal, just run it whenever you get a chance (even after a reboot, which would take two minutes longer and open the command prompt by default, which is no biggie since you can just close it once the device fully boots). Leaving the registry key set to "0" should not damage anything.
I have attached the cab files on the forum.
The goal of installing a command line interface on a Windows Mobile device is 'hackability'... you get yet much better (granular) access to your device. I have always been fond of the way Linux-based devices (Android, Iphone, Nokia N900) give you access to the command line, and always wanted something similar on Windows Mobile. Now this is possible, albeit with less options than the linux-based phones.
For example, with the command line you can now run NetCat. Netcat is known as the Swiss Army Knife of Networking. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat) on your Windows Mobile phone...
You can download and install NetCat for Windows Mobile at http://prt.fernuni-hagen.de/~bischoff/wince/
I have tested a few basic NetCat commands and they seem to be working as expected, but more testing is needed.
Any feedback is appreciated
Usual disclaimer: This has worked great for me, but obviously I am not responsible if you damage your device.
Does anyone have any comments?
Please post your thoughts.
thank you
so glad i found this post, just about to try it out on my hd2...
To what end? What does this accomplish?

Hi! Any update on this?
I tried this on my HD2 (WM6.5, ROM v. 1.61.468.1). The console is able to display text and run commands, but I can't type anything directly into it. The only button that seems to work is Enter.
If I type somewhere else and copy-paste into the console this works and commands execute perfectly.
What could be the trouble? Thanks in advance.
I have not tested the CLI on the HD2, but clearly your issue is caused by a lack of a physical keyboard. You may find a workaround to this (since you can copy and paste into the CLI fields), but unfortunately I cannot be of assistance since I only own the Touch Pro 2.
Good luck!

Do you have a software keyboard in your device (my previous BlueAngel had one in addition to hardware)? If yes -- could you please check if the console works with software keyboard?
good!! Did you try pocketgcc on it?
Great news! I just tried the command line using the soft keyboard built into my Touch Pro 2 and it worked... I was able to enter commands in the command line without having to pull out or use the hardware keyboard.
Are you unable to use your software keyboard on the HD2 with the command prompt?

I have not tried PocketGCC, but it would be interesting to get it working on the command line.

This is pretty awesome. I love my mini version of a PC and having this only helps...
Here is how one can use the command prompt for NetCat...
I have it working on Telus Touch Pro2 but the physical keyboard doesn't work except for backspace and enter. It could be due to Tarkims keyboard remapper. It does however work perfectly with the soft keyboards. I have a copy of Perl installed and working.
The physical keyboard should work, I'm also running Tarkims keyboard remapper and the physical keyboard works well for me. Did you use my two cab files for enabling and disabling the CLI?
Also, please tell me more about Perl on your Windows Mobile phone, is there a binary (executable) or cab file I can install for Perl?
Please advise, thanks.

You can find Perl here
http://perlce.sourceforge.net/
Which version of Tarkim's keyboard remapper are you using 1.3.2 or 1.4?
I just checked and I am running tarkim's keyboard controller version 1.3.2, which seems to work perfectly with the command prompt.
I am wondering what you use Perl for on Windows Mobile? I have looked at the http://perlce.sourceforge.net/ site and I am interested in installing Perl, can you give me some background on its utilization on the mobile platform?
Thanks!
Here's the response from Touch_Pete (via PM):
Actually I haven't tried much more than a few test programs. But this is a full implementation of a very powerful and flexible programing language that would allow you to go way beyond Mortscript which seems to be a popular scripting language used on Windows Mobile to do all sorts of things.
Working Perfect on my HD2 using FingerKeyboard2.1 ... I was facing same problem with original keyboard
I don't wanna use monstrous VS2010 (which requires .net4 & silverlight4) on my home notebook so I found way to extract Microsoft XDE from "Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP"
Attachment contains "extracted" from the package standalone emulator.
Just unpack attached zip and run sde_xde-enu.msi (if UAC is enabled you should start command promt and execute msiexec /i sde_xde-enu)
In MS terms install is silent so you don't need press "next" or "ok".
After install you find folder "%Program Files%\Microsoft XDE\" with Windows Phone 7 Emulator.
If you install the emulator on win x64 the path to emulator will look like this "%Program Files(x86)%\Microsoft XDE\".
The emulator will be installed both x86 and x64 but it seems that it does not work on x64 systems.
There is no WP7 images in archive so you must download it by yourself (original by M$ or patched version by Dan Ardelean).
Original image of WP7 by M$
Patched image of WP7 by Dan Ardelean mirror
After installing the application and download the file, you can run the emulator using the command:
Code:
"%Program Files%\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" %path_to_downloaded_image%
Despite the fact that it is installed on the XP, it only works on Vista and newer
step by step installation's guide by anarchyuk
So will you need Visual Studio Express Edition and all that jazz to make this work? Or just this installation and the emulator image?
Btw great work
main target was just to use the emulator without installing VS2010
just install this package and add the wp7_image
Works like a charm!! Thanks!
Image file
Thank you for the emulator
How can i get an image, do you have a URL or shared storage?
I've updated the first post with wp7image's URLs
anyone else get this to work?
Thanks for this
tried, but does not work at all:
1) installed from msi
2) run FAR as administrator
3) copied original WM70C1.bin to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\"
4) in directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\" typed:
Code:
XDE.exe WM70C1.bin
and nothing appeared, and no process xde.exe running in task manager
if i type XDE.exe without parameters, it shows its help screen, but if i run with any parameter (even if it is wrong) it shows nothing.
is this problem related only to my machine or somebody else is experiencing this also?

hmm.. I've tried many times on different PCs (win vista sp1 and newer but only x86) and I've had no problems..
there is just one problem that I found it will not work on winXP
pm me if you have any IM. it's much easier to me to talk in Russian
hmm again..
i've just test the emulator in the virtual machine with installed w7 x64 - all the symptoms as l2tp described
I'll try to find x64 version tonight
Thanks Sir
I installed this and it does not create the Microsoft XDE folder in program files....I am on Windows 7 x86. No error of anything. It did take a while and gave me a UAC prompt after a while.....
Edit: I enabled logging by running the msi with /log logfile.txt and it said:
vmmmsm_custom: Running custom action CA_InstallVMMDriver
vmmmsm_custom: Error creating VMM service, E = 6
CustomAction CA_InstallVMMDriver.3D2F911E_A60A_4C07_8F7D_5306DC073E9A returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 17:11:12: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
vmmmsm_custom: Running custom action CA_RemoveVMMDriver
vmmmsm_custom: There was an error stopping the VMM service. Run setup again after manually stopping the VMM service. (error code 6)
vmmmsm_custom: There was an error deleting the VMM service. The service has not been deleted. (error code 6)
I guess it is a problem with my machine with the virtual machine driver, but there seems to be no service...
today I'd installed CLEAN win vista sp2 business x86 on the virtual machine and then tested this emulator - all works fine but very slow
one more update - this installer conflicts with UAC (m$ suxxs one more time..)
if you install the full version of the VS2010 UAC's request appears at the beginning and everything is installed properly
but if you only install the emulator, then:
If UAC enabled installer says "all fine" but emulator doesn't install (see post hsclate)
If UAC disabled installer says "all fine" and emulator installs
Thanks working now....you don;t have to disable UAC if you don't want to, just run an elevated command prompt and run from there, then it installed. Thanks for the pointer...

Please work hard for the 64bit version, thanks really for this genius work.
Saw this emu-rip to late damn... After uninstalling all the "Microsoft Virtual Studio + I don't know how many crap from what Virtual Studio refused to uninstall via 'Programs and Features' so removed it kind of manually" the sde_xde-enu does not work anymore. While all that bullcrap was installed it actually did work...(@W7 x64)
damn rapid share thought it was extinct.
l2tp +1 confirmed
Yesterday I tried to install VS2010 on win7 pro x64 and it seems that there is no x64 version of vs2010. Because the download is the same version as downloaded on win vista hp sp2.
