Windows 95/98SE/Me on a Pocket PC! - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Has anyone tried this http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3660 ???
I read some of the pages and you can run operating systems prior to windows nt/xp on a ppc!
By the way, does anyone know why xda-developers forum is so terribly slow?

What operating system is on Magician/ MDA Compact/M500

Can anyone tell me please what operating system is on this device?
Is it the same as the BlueAngel?
Does it have Pocket Word, Pocket Excel and Pocket Access?
Many thanks in advance
Regards
J
Operating is the same as the factory shipped Blue Angel- Windows Mobile 2003 and yes it has Pocket Word and Excel but not Access. I think i remember seeing a few third party software titles for databases.
To be pedantic - it's Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.
Second Edition has a few tweaks over and above the bog standard 2003.
Thanks for the help.
Much obliged.

alternatives to windows mobile

hey everyone...
are there any other alternatives then windows mobile?
like a linux?
and are they better or worse?
and does anyone know when the windows mobile 7 comes out?
thanks...
Linux
Windows Mobile 7
From everything I've read (and everything you could have looked up yourself), nothing works on a Wizard as well as Windows. Many come close to working, but unless you like crippled devices, I'd stick to Windows. There are some really nice cooked Windows Mobile 6.1 based ROMS in the Wizard Mobile 6 thread.
I know you're new to these boards, and I was a noob once, too, but please use the search engines, and do some research on your own. Not everyone will be nice about this.

VirtualWM

Hi All,
I have been looking for an application for Windows Mobile like we have for our PC's/Laptops. I am talking about a software like VirtualPC (VPC), VirtualBox (VBOX) and VMware (VirtualMachine).
If there is a VirtualWM (VWM) so we can run any ROM we desire on our phones ie on the HTC Touch HD.
On my PC I am using Windows Vista but in that Vista I am running Windows XP (another operating system, it is a virtual computer that looks and acts like the real thing).
With VWM, we could run multiple ROMS etc!
Has anyone thought of this or found any applications like that?
This is a video on VBOX for those who don't know what a Virtual Machine is

Only Microsoft Mobile Device emulator is available for pc as a "Virtual Machine" for WM but you can't run Cooked images only the default MS Winmo Image.

There is a thread here in XDA about running custom roms in Emulator but it only could run modified MS deafult image if I am right.

Microsoft Automotive OS (Windows CE)

Morning everyone!
I recently bought a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, and noticed that under information, it states the NAV system runs Microsoft Windows Automotive.
I did some recon, and found that this is a stipped down version of Windows CE? I've tried searching to see if anyone has done any hacking, I've seen a few basic mods/hacks, but nothing crazy like the stuff xda-devs push out...
Just wondering if there's been any work done on this? Any cool hacks?
So, you want to "hack" Windows (Embedded) Automotive (7), which is part of Microsoft's Windows Embedded family? What do you mean with "hack"? Please specify.
There is not, and there will probably never be a "hacker" or "modder" scene around devices running Windows Automotive, as all the SDKs are closed to the public and only acessible to manufacturers who signed a deal with Microsoft. There is no way of really adding functionality to these systems for a hobbyist, and even if there was of course it would validate any and all warrantys on the device.

I was just wondering if any work had maybe been done. I'm not familiar with the OS as you can tell. But from my previous experience in the Windows Mobile land and some hacking I've seen in the past on devices that ran CE I was just wondering if anything had been done...
I know there's been a few minor hacks and mods (re: interface changes, animations, pictures, voice prompts, map side-loading, etc...). But that's all I've read so far...

Windows Automotive is based on Windows Mobile, not on Windows CE. Perhaps 'unlockers' developped for Windows CE might do it, who knows?

I read that it runs a Windows CE kernel, also read that it uses a lot of stuff that Windows Mobile uses... Main interest would be to see if it's possible to load up a complete Windows GUI (like what people did for the HTC Shift)...
I have a cts-v as well and I'm hoping to play with the latest nav software update disc (2012) when I receive it tomorrow. I know some have converted it to usb so it doesn't take 2-3 hours to update your system. I'm also wanting to see if I can do some mods/hacks/tweaks to it just to play around. Can you point me in the right direction on the mods/tweaks you've read about? Of course I'd just like to start out with images/sounds/slash screen stuff first.

Wondering if anyone ever did anything with these... I just bought one myself in my '09 CTS-4 . You can remove the hard drive and image it to your local hard drive and I have seen where people have been able to access the files within. Since Windows Mobile Auto is related to Windows mobile you should be able to use some of the same tools you would use with Windows Mobile. My understanding is that it is not a stripped down but a supped up version to support additional hardware and functionality. .Net code is byte code that is run by the runtime in standard windows and is easy to decode and reconstruct the source code. I am guessing windows Mobile is similar. You should be able to reconstruct enough that you can use the standard .DLL from windows mobile auto in a regular windows mobile development environment then just copy the finished file over... In theory anyhow... I have seen information that it may require signing but I am not sure that signing was necessary with Windows Mobile 5. I will be tearing apart my new NAV system before I install it to see what I can access in it.
Did you find anything? I'm looking to "hack" my 2011 Fusion Sport w/ Nav. Runs on similar platform based on my research.
