PocketDOS and Civilization - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
I have installed the demo version of PocketDOS 1.11.0 and am trying to get civilization to run, it runs and I get the intro screens but as soon as I press a key I get a error "run-time errror R6003 - integer divide by 0" and get put back to the DOS prompt.
I've checked on there support forum, and it lists it as working, has anybody got it working? but they don't give any settings (e.g. memory), what setting do you use?
I am running on a HTC Universal with Windows Mobile 5.0 (a o2 XDA Exec version)
Thanks

Civ is available for the PPC??? where?

PocketDOS can run old DOS apps, see www.pocketdos.com, and it does say the latest version can run Civilization 1 but I can't get it to!
I got Simcity to work but the menu graphics are not working!

looking at that site i see we can put on there ms-dos 6.22 now here come the many questions all of us might have
does that mean once we have the dos running we can install windows
i mean not 3.1 but something either 98 or 2000 as the requirements for those are not that high i know i'll be happy with a windows 98 just to play some simple games and also office programs full functionality
can any one shed some light on the subject
regards krassen

This question is better addressed on the forums for the actual products. A good place to start is http://www.pocketwall.com/pDOSBox/ and check out the forums at http://forum.pocketwall.com/
However I offer this

Guys and gals, don’t forget to check out my brand new, MS-DOS / x86 emulation-related article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1276884
(Sorry for flooding – IMHO, this article certainly deserves attention because it answers ALL the questions a Windows Mobile user may want to EVER ask about emulating MS-DOS. Make sure you read it!)

they are not even programed using windows mobile sdk
much less minimfc or .net
if one wanna make exsotic stuff like that i'd avice one use a nativ arm compiler

Hi vijay555
Is there any emulator available (as per your info) for emulating my himalaya ROM on the desktop PC? Where can I get it???
Near the top of the screen there should be an option to choose what device to run on - Windows Mobile, or further down, Windows Mobile emulators. Just choose which device.

Btw, the second screenshot is almost what it is, but couldn't find a better screenshot.
Allready tried it out, you can "control" your system using these plugins... Tweakers.net article (dutch) English for more information.
Download other plugins over here or using this URL for the Windows Sideshow, at the moment you can control your Powerpoint presentation (next/previous slide + preview) and control your Windows Media player (next/prev play/pause and see what you're playing + album art).
Also you can check your mail (which didn't work) and see your appointments (also didn't work). Looks promising.
Lolz i couldn't find a nice screenshot from the app for the Pocket PC so thats why i asked for the screenshot. It's looking verry nice i will try to use it. Thanks
Wicked, I've been waiting for this
some examples..
Sorry, my Vista is Turkish

Installation Guide..
You have to use Windows Vista..!
1- Extract files (in X86-PC Drivers.cab) to a folder.. You will need to them for "The bluetooth peripheral device" drivers on PC..
2- Copy WindowsSideShowForWindowsMobile.cab to your PDA..
3- Pair your PC and PDA via Bluetooth
4- Open "Control Panel\Windows SideShow" and check (click) applications which ones do you want to use on PDA
does this work with the media centre app??

SideShow on Touch Diamond
I hope you guys can help me here.
I tried installing sideshow on my touch diamond. The .net compact framework is already running, I installed the file above, and I paired the xda with my pc.
Although the xda is listed in my bluetooth devices it won't apear in the sideshow settings.
Does anyone have a clue or experienced similar problems?
thx dr_krohn
hi
try deleting the paring and recreating it as you have to have the sideshow service in the list on your phone under bluetooth or under the same on your computer also there is a newer one out there than the one posted on the thread.

[HINT] Using Myriad JAVA taken from SE X2

Hello everybody,
Maybe a couple of you are like me not really satisfied with the integrated JBlend. It doesn't create shortcuts, looks bad etc. ...
For me the Java-client of the SE Xperia X2 did solve that problem. You can load it here: *KLICK* (Post 2)
Install it and if you're not using WWE-Rom then do the following changes within the registry:
ultrashot said:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Esmertec Java]
"ProgramsGamesURL"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Games" ;this
"ProgramsURL"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs"
\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Games is a language-dependent part
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do a softreset and install any midlets you want. Shortcuts will be created by default (see my screen). With this JAVA-client it is also possible to run midlets in Landscape mode (2nd screen) - added Opera Mini to rotation support with BsB-Tweak.

}
If you want to open your midlets that are already installed on your device then go to Windows/java and simply click all the *.jar-files within that folder. They will now automatically install with the new JAVA-suite.
Maybe someone likes it as I do.
Cheers.
I downloaded the java from your link and installed it. however, I can't seem to find it in the list of programs. How do I access the new java engine? I am using WWE ROM.
As I said you have to reinstall your installed Midlets (can be found in Windows/java, *.jar-files). Then shortcuts will be created in your start menu. To see a list of all installed Midlets go to Settings (Wm6.5, not Sense), System and click on "Java".
Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing! Im using it now..
Great tip!!

Can it Run on Samsung i900/i908?
Hi, I installed Myriad Java on my Samsung Omnia i908, but whenever I run the Jar file, it just caused a certification problem. Can Myriad Java support Samsung i900/i908?
Thanks!
hey i tried to install myriad java on my omnia i8000 running winmo 6.1 official rom but it says "either it is not signed with a trusted certificate certificate error or one of the component cannot be found. try reinstalling." can u please upload the extracted jbed.exe in ur \windows dir please . . . . thank you.
I would like to know how can we change the fonts size in Myriad Java? In Esmertec Jbed, we could edit the fonts via registry tweaks, but I have not found similar tweak for Myriad Java. Anyone knows how?

Everything on the Windows Phone 8 Emulator

The Windows Phone 8 Emulator is installed as a part of the Windows Phone 8 SDK. You can follow some steps below to begin hacking the emulator.
Things to do:
everything....
InteropUnlock
BCD Editing
Well, first thing is first. Getting the WP8 SDK to install.
PREREQUISITES:
A SLAT capable CPU and BIOS. Some OEMs have only enabled the virtualization feature, but missed the SLAT feature.
Your computer needs to support hardware DEP (No execute bit for AMD).
An OS that supports Hyper-V: Server 2008, 2008R2, 2010, 2012, 2012R2, or Windows 8 Pro.
Note: AFAIK, the only officially supported OS for this is Win8Pro-x64
Access to a user account that has Administrator rights.
Steps for "Getting Ready!"
Set the date to 10/5/13 - one day before expiration (thanks to mister2d.)
Install the SDK normally. (Note: the complete SDK should be installable on any 64bit OS that has the OS version at 6.1 or newer, just follow the tutorial in my signature.)
Install the Visual Studio Update 4.
Install the Windows Phone Emulator - Update 3
Now, most of you can launch the emulator by opening the Windows Phone Deployment Tool (or Windows Phone Power Tools) and deploy to the resolution of choice and to either RTM or GDR3.
I seemed to hit a bug where XDE (the emulator shell) can't create a Virtual Machine properly. It seems to be surrounding the disk being attached improperly.
So.... You can skip the entire part above if you have the Flash.vhd and the desired resolution vhd.
Using the WP8 emulator only using Hyper-V Manager
Open Hyper-V Manager
Click on New, then Virtual Machine
Name the VM what ever you like.
Set RAM at 512 or 1024. 2048 me be a little finicky.
Leave Networking on Not Connected unless you have fully configured Hyper-V.
Select "Attach a virtual hard disk later"
Click Finish.
Right click on the VM you have just created and go to settings.
Click on DVD Drive and press remove.
Click on Hard Drive and paste the location of the desired resolution vhd.
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0GDR3\Emulation\Images\Flash.480x800.vhd
Double click on the VM to bring up the control interface and press the blue-green "start" button.
Controls for the VM:
Back - Escape/F1
Start - F2
Search - F3
Vol UP - F9
Vol Down - F10
Camera full-press? - F7
Mouse left & right click - tap
NOTE: THE CURSOR DISAPPEARS WHEN MOVED INTO THE VM SCREEN.
Things disable out of box.
Microsoft accounts
dialer (I can't seem to get any of the dialer codes to work yet.)
camera (kinda...just displays a colored box running around the edges.)
Steps to InteropUnlock:
Attach the vhd
type diskmgmt.msc at the start screen. click attach vhd. paste the location of the vhd and press ok.
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0GDR3\Emulation\Images\Flash.480x800.vhd
right click on blue disk shown and click on detach vhd once done with working on it.
type regedit.exe at the start screen.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click File, Load Hive.
Go to the main partition (the one that has all the links to the other drives...)
and go down to Windows\System32\config (it will ask for permission to enter...)
Hmm....Seems to be interopunlocked already...
More soon!
reserved
Just saying this in case you didn't know this: You can mount the VHD file as a hardware and explore/edit emulator system files.
That's exactly what's in the op, but I'm not sure what persists and there's a few others too, but I ran out of time to mess with it. Just highlight the text and you'll see that the directions are there.
Essentially this should be able to operate like a real device, but it needs a few tweaks. Also its funny to see in settings for it to say i386 under the SoC.
Sent from my Lumia 928 (RM-860) using Tapatalk
Convert VHD into vmdisk, then you can run the emulator in VMWare directly with CPU without SALT or VT and can also without win8
Saw this over on the winbeta site. Didn't really check it out but may be useful in backing up any work done on the emulators. As I said I didn't take much time checking it out but may be worth a look. http://go.altaro.com/?LP=WinBeta-30...tm_medium=banner-300x250&utm_campaign=winbeta
What would be really nice is to make it so you can connect your MS account from the emulator.

[TOOL][ADB][Windows]RAM-Hog Sniffer For Rooted Android Emulators

Given the case you feel your favorite Android emulator runs slowly, especially at a certain game, then you should remind that Android emulator's (AVD) performance mainly depends on correct setting of its
A: Android per app Heap Size granted
B: VM total RAM (read: Random Access Memory) allocated off host machine
Most emulators don't automatically take care of this, they are preset to standard values: it's on the user to correctly configure it.
User has to check and monitor for the RAM usage of an individual app/game on Android, has to check which app/game is eating the maximum RAM and affecting the performance.
Yes, for me one of the fundamental questions users ask (or at least, they should) is: how much memory is my program using? It may be a simple question, but with a virtual memory operating system like Android the answer is quite complex.
By default Android OS - a derivate of Linux OS - since ages comes with procrank tool, what in detail shows you some RAM metrics for an application as those are VSS, RRS, PPS and USS. So also Android OS provided by the various emulators should do it, too.
Installed Terminal Emulator app on some wellknown emulators and ran procrank. Experienced that on Android emulators like
BlueStacks 4 ( Android Nougat )
PROCRANK doesn't work at all, you get message: "error creating kernel interface -- does this kernel have pagemap?"
MEmu 6 ( Android Nougat )
PROCRANK doesn't exist - means isn't implemented at all
NOX 6 ( Android Nougat )
PROCRANK isn't working, you get message: library "libpagemap.so" not found
Genymotion 3 ( Android Nougat )
PROCRANK doesn't work at all, you get message: "error creating kernel interface -- does this kernel have pagemap?"
Maybe someone knows reasons for that?
Hence, to get out the app/game specific RAM metrics ( read: VmPeak, VmVSS, VmHWM, VmRSS and VmPSS ) on an Android emulator, I wrote a Windows command script ( ~50KB ) that running against a rooted emulator gives them to me: I named it RAM-hog Sniffer. Notes: It's provided on an "AS IS" basis, it's free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under license GPLv3.
Successfully tried it on properly rooted and ADB-enabled BlueStacks v4.50.5.1003 ( Android Nougat ):

Useful or not is for you to tell, give it a try and leave a comment with suggestion if indicated.
Usage:
• Download the attached ZIP and unpack it on Windows PC into any location of your choice
• Connect a rooted and ADB enabled emulator to PC
• Run Windows batch-file named RAM-hog-Sniffer
FYI: You will need to install the Android ADB drivers if your emulator is not detected.
PS: Please, do NOT share this elsewhere - I want to be able to update if necessary.
Script revamped. New version is in OP.

You use any ANSI-editor of your choice, preferredly of course Notepad++, to edit the script on your Windows computer according to your needs.
