Help me run DosBox emulator on Artemis.
I have Windows Mobile 5.0 (5.1.465) and I can't run DosBox.
I download emulator and install.
When I run program, my Task Bar make black color.
I can't see cmd, and I must reset my HTC for work.
Thanks

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?

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.
Hi all, I am just getting started in developing a very simple app (Hello World) and when I try to run it I get the following error:
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients
The project builds fine but when I run it I get the error. Any ideas on how to solve this? I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and downloaded the developer tools from Microsoft site (vm_web).
Thanks in advance, Onam.
do you get that when you attempt to launch the application in the emulator? if so, how much ram do you have? you require a minimum of 1.5GB for the emulator to run properly. I'm not sure why, but this is one of the things I ran into and was a suggested solution. I personally haven't tested it, but it did stop my virtual machine (currently set to 1GB) from running the phone emulator.
Hi,
Here is the fourth version. Its not upgradeable, so delete the old /sdcard/ubuntu before, except you know what you are doing and are able to fix upcoming problems by upgrading.
[Hints]
To remove the stupid overlay scrollbars, goto ubuntu shell and type
Code:
apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar*
in the next version setupgnome will automatically do that, all which setup gnome befor, do that to get the normal scrollbars.
in gnome goto system -> preferences -> appearance. there to the fonts tab, and there to details. use a resolution of 120 dpi, so you it is a bit more touch friendly
[Requirements]
Archive from http://www.bisme.net/files/xda/ubuntu/ubuntu_b6.tar.gz
Optionall an VNC client like android-vnc
[step by step]
Install the kernel (without you'll not have full functionality, but it'll work)
Extract the ubuntu archive to /sdcard/ubuntu (in adb shell goto sdcard and type: "tar xzf ubuntu_b6.tar.gz")
cd to this dir and type
Code:
su
then
Code:
sh ubuntu install
you will be asked a few questions, if you have no plan just press always enter. after reboot open a terminal and type
Code:
su
then
Code:
ubuntu start
optional if you want gnome via vnc
Code:
ubuntu setupvnc
and
Code:
ubuntu setupgnome
this still takes long, you are installing here almost the complete ubuntu via internet. that are a few hundred megabytes of downloading and over one gigabyte of extracting and installing. leave with exit and on android shell type (first time it asks for a passwod)
Code:
ubuntu startvnc
then connect to it via: localhost:5901 using a vnc client and the password you set.
[what you got]
you start the ubuntu subsystem with ubuntu start (still chroot)
with ubuntu setupvnc you install vnc service
with ubuntu setupssh you install ssh service
with ubuntu setupgnome you install gnome
with ubuntu setupkde you install kde (if you do so, you need to modify inside ubuntu /usr/bin/vnc)
with ubuntu shell you open an bash session
with ubuntu screen you open an persistent bash session
with ubuntu startvnc you start the vnc service
with startssh inside ubuntu shell you the start the ssh service
with ubuntu stopvnc you stop the vnc service
with stopssh inside ubuntu shell you the stop the ssh service
with ubuntu stop you stop (is rebooting)
with ubuntu uninstall you uninstall the script from system(directory /sdcard/ubuntu stays)
in ubuntu you can access:
android's /dev bound to ubuntu's /dev (fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 is working fine(sdcard). don't touch /dev/block/mmcblk1 or you'll kill your android system, maybe your whole xoom )
android's /system bound to ubuntu's /android/system
android's /data bound to ubuntu's /android/data
android's /mnt/sdcard bound to ubuntu's /adnroid/sdcard
[working]
With android-vnc Gnome (bluetooth keyboard and mouse)
Firefox 4
Chromium Browser
LibreOffice
Gnome Terminal
SSH Daemon
"D" key needs to remove the gnome keyboardshortcut uses "D" (just open vnc, goto a textfield and type d then you know what I mean )
and a lot more
[not working]
Ubuntu Software Center (use Synaptic instead, find it in the system menu)
[the tecnical side]
Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (11.04) from http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu
dd for creating an image (no size limit anymore)
image formatted with ext2
adb push /sdcard/ubuntu/img/ubuntu.img (android shell has gunzip)
chroot env
tightvnc, gnome-session
different kernel features which i'll list here later
[changelog]
Beta 6
small changes in the scripts to ensure compatibility with other roms and devices
you can choose now between UBuntu 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 Beta2
[next]
providing preinstalled images for gnome, kde and xfce
app instead script
[ideas]
weirdx
wayland
Have Fun

Hi folks,
Actually I'm poking around with the common "How to get ubuntu onto xoom", but with an own img file i created based on the maverick arm minimal archive. Now I'm installing unity, but in weekend I'll try to make the installation, configuration, ... more userfriendly. maybe I'll build a small app doing thinks like starting, stopping, starting a terminal with the chroot and so on. I've no plan at this moment what I'll do exact. But you can say me what you would like to have, so I know if there is a need for something. I think with the next ubuntu using something based on opengl as replacement for x and the promised touch support, it might be relly interesting to have in a chroot env and maybe write something like a wrapper for androids opengl es api. in this context maybe also a port of the android sdk to linux arm would be very interesting.
Regards
Ralph

I just posted in the general forum about this lol. I would love maverick meerkat on the xoom. I'm sure the software center wouldnt work, but if you could somehow incorporate compiz fuzion, along with all of the standard apps, that would be the sh*t. Good luck man!
Got it to run on gtab but not sure how to do it on xoom.

i have it already running, but I'm not getting the f*** unity running, because it needs opengl... a bit bad with tightvncserver
so i decided to jump over and try directly this out:
http://rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/natty/ubuntu-natty-alpha3-r0-minimal-armel.tar.xz
the omap4 is an arm cortex a9 processor, so it should be binary compatible.
wish me luck, if it will work you will have today a howto, otherwise i'll go back to 10.10 and search for another useful desktop.
edit: apt is working fine with maverick
regards
Ok, so far so good. Ubuntu 11.04 is basically running, all is working fine, but the repository is buggy, so apt is not letting me install unity.
Besause today i'll not google for a missing lib, let see further tomorow. Hopefully the repositories are fixed then.
I'm uploading now a file called ubuntu.zip
To install it do the steps i'll write now in the first post. (the setup is not tested, so you may still need your knowledge)

Hey Ghost -- thanks for your great work on this!
One thing I was wondering -- would it be possible to break out your instructions on how to do this from scratch? I'm interesting in putting together my own version (probably a minmal Ubuntu 10.04 install), and would really appreciate the source "steps".
From what I've read, it looks like it's a matter of grabbing the right kernel (I thought I saw a recent one on the tegra development site), bootstrapping the right debian-based arm-compatible distro, and copying that over to the device with the right script to get it setup. I'd just love it if I could piggyback on your fine work

It's alpha, so nothing for you if you have no plan whats going on here.
Archive: http://www.bisme.net/ubuntu.zip
Needed:
Rooted xoom with busybox installed
Steps:
1.) Extract the zip to /sdcard/ubuntu
2.) Open a terminal su, cd to this dir and type
./setupubuntu (sh*** i forgot to change the file, all cp commands are not working for some reason, needs to be
cat filename > /system/bin/filename
3.) ... ehm fin
(always su before)
If you replaced the cp, you can directly type for example bootubuntu, if not you need to be in dir /sdcard/ubuntu and say ./bootubuntu
After ubuntu booted(real only mounted) you can start a bash shell with shellubuntu. Unmount it with shutubuntu(in most cases will fail, then you need to reboot before you can say bootubuntu again)
Ehm, yes... i love my xoom :-D most of the time i worked on that... my pc i almost didn't need. Small tipp, it is worth its 4 dollar, better android terminal. Without bash this would be the hell.

Man you are the best. I really really want to get this up and running but i cant get through setup. idk how to install... this is not my area of expertise lol. help?!
edit: i guess for clarification, after i type in the cat command it tells me write: no space left on device
Is the touch screen working
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk Pro
Ok, first of all, this is not a rom. Thats not needed in this case, because with linux more installations can share the same kernel. Android has a linux kernel, ubuntu has one. Google for chroot
This is not an attemp to replace android, just to enhance it a bit
In this state it's just something like a technical preview. Give me a few days. For now only advanced linux users wich understands whats happening there can do something with it.
Concerning a minimal ubuntu, this is now a minimal installation.

What about Enlightenment?
http://www.linuxuk.org/2010/02/the-new-ui-for-arm-based-ubuntu-devices/
i'm installing it. lets see.
the reason why it's still not posted, i have a problem with the xstartup file of tightvnc. for some reason it is not running the commands for the ui, so there is just an empty xserver in vnc until i start icewm lxde manually. i think it would be the same with efl, and i had until today to less time to check out whats wrong.
edit: netbook-launcher-efl + metacity + maximus is looking fine
Is there any way to not use VNC? Can you dual boot or otherwise get into X ?
or possibly something like freenx client on android maybe??? in hopes that it's faster than vnc. if we can't boot into ubuntu.
edit - scratch that, i read you need X to use freenx... kinda defeats the point there.
i thought there was something else though that fowards all the window data over like lightning fast.
I found until now two possibilities but both needs much work. First taking the wayland xserver client and port it to android, or port weirdx to android.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Hmm... so back to the dual boot question... What about something like this guy did?
http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/81090-debian-dualboot.html
https://code.google.com/p/linux-on-android/wiki/BasicSteps
Would that also work on the XOOM?
Me personally, I'm not interested in another Linux Distri as main System
1. I would miss the android functionallity and feel, because of that I would never boot Ubuntu.
2. Only android has the needed touch support for a tablet. Maybe this changes i future ubuntu releases.
Because of that my primary target is a more seamless integration of a ubuntu subsystem in android, so we can use many beloved functions without much work. So there is the best of both worlds in the same time avaliable.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Makes sense. My motivation for research and all this is that I want to do (light) web development and server administration on the tablet as well. Of course, buying that bluetooth keyboard makes it all feasible and I'm not looking to do heavy amounts of work on it, but I want to ditch my netbook. For starters, the tablet lasts longer in terms of battery life and the form factor is better.
Other than that, to me, tablets serve merely as an entertainment purpose (unless maybe you're using it to bill people or for a sales pitch/meeting) and I can't justify the cost. A $600 travel Scrabble is retarded. So I think tablets need something like Ubuntu running on them in order for them to be a more productive device that is a justifiable expense.
Right now the biggest thing that I'm thinking about is gedit and git. If I can get those two... Then I think I'd be pretty much set. I think there's actually two or three text editors for Android as is and I might be able to use those provided I could get git for Android.
The graphical user interface isn't the most important thing so I can even live w/o the VNC. Having a local webserver would be rad, but not a high priority since I can use git to update a server on the net.
If you have any ideas, and I know it's getting somewhat off topic, but your research is really the crux of my situation...I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
--edit ok, so i found www.cloud9ide.com which will cover me I guess. but still I want more power under the hood. I really appreciate your work efforts! Thanks.
