Hi!
Do you know if there is a working x86 emulator for our pocket PC devices?
I don't need speed, just compatibility. I'd like to use some special tiny program, that was written for windows 95, on my Wizzard.
I know some guys were installing some old "ordinary" windows on pocket pc devices, so there should be hope for me?
any information welcomed.
greetings from slovenia!
Admit it, you just want to play Star Flight.... I miss that game
Mamaich has a working version of Bochs I think, on his website. However, I don't think you'll get windows installed.
Where have you seen old windows binaries running on the PDA?

Veloxi on the WM platform...I'd buy that for a dollar!
I just have to add this:

I saw a russian site where they guy had a dos emulator. but I do not belive it emulated the hardware needed for Win95. You are better off with a terminal service session on WinVNC, which I ise from my phone to a server in my data center.
I found this site (in German) showing pics of working windows 95 on a PPC:
http://people.freenet.de/renmi/ppc/
now we just have to find some manual describing how to do that

LOL...that looks cool but man, that has to be slow! Should be interesting to see what comes of it.
Guys, you can see that it says that it uses Bochs. As I said above, I think Mamaich has a release of it, or at least it should be generally available. That's a free, open source x86 emulator.

bochs - failure
hi. I am trying to play with bochs and dlxlinux
I have downloaded everything needed [except bochscr.txt - cant find it] but I think bochsrc.bxrc included with dlxlinux is good for me.
when I try to run it from dos box [functionality of pocket contoller] cpu grows to 100% for 1-2 sec and falls back to normal[0-3%].
every configuration I try cause same effect. on dos box nothing happens. no log produced [it is in configuration].
any ideas? anyone tryed it with success?
I run it with ..\bochs -q -f bochsrc.bxrc. ofcourse all files are correct.
Files are from http://mamaich.uni.cc/fr_pocket.htm

Hi,
I am developper and I have a HTC Wizard.
I already have some experience in pocket PC development and I would like to install linux on my HTC.
The problem is I cannot even send command through a terminal.
I read a tutorial about how I can boot into "boot mode" (Press Power+Recording and after I can see the gradients color).
After I start a terminal application and I choose USB but I never got a prompt.
I don't undertand because I tried with different terminals and I have checked that ActiveSync is disabled.
What am i doing wrong ???
If some HTC wizard and Linux guru were here, maybe they could help me to start.
I am trying to do this, as well. But from what i understand it is VERY difficult.
to BOOT linux, you need 2 things: a kernel that can run on the omap and a program that will LOAD the kernel.
the omap has an arm926 processor. the omap is a cpu+other things.
to boot the kernel we need something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadlin
also we have to find a way to make the kernel show some output:
1. serial
2. lcd
also some input.
1. serial
2. keyboard
we have to compile an arm kernel and we have to find a way to boot that kernel. i have slackware linux on my laptopand i am trying to make arm simple kernel
the bootloader i can start, but i can not find a way to talk to it. i have searched and asked but i have not found anything. i am angry! i want to remove the bootloader it does not do anything! argh!
please if you are serious about this, tell me in an email or a personal message (PM)[/url][/list][/list]
look at this! http://garux.sourceforge.net/
Look at Xanadux on this forum's wiki. It might give you some clues as to the way forward. You could join in the effort. 8)

I know all this, what I just want to know is how to interact with my HTC in boot mode because if I cannot even send command how could I install a boot loader. I am trying to do things in steps.
The first one is to understand how I can dialog with HTC...
Use mtty and press enter to get a prompt.
I noticed someone out there has tried to make a lcd driver for the omap850. We need to know more about the device.
i do not think we need an lcd driver. we need only find the address of the framebuffer. i do not know... :/
I'm having the same problem.
Tried to install.....cannot even login.
How do I get the Hyper Terminal to talk to my Himalaya connect to my Windows XP using USB ?
jtag
dare i say we skip the cruddy boot loader and explore the possabilities of a jtag connection?
Another Linux on Wizard topic
Hello,
Please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49560 for another approach in getting Linux to run on the Wizard!

Heres my problem, i have the basic **** 1.5 rom that comes with the G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and T-Mobile being pathetic have cocked things up with the 2.1 update. again.
Im Trying to Flash an old Rom from the HTC website (still better than the default i have), to entice the download of part 1 of 2.1 but it refuses to connect Via USB as soon as i run the program. I got it to work once and it keeled over and Died within seconds.
This is the Rom im trying to Flash:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=775
I use Windows 7 32Bit
I just upgraded to:
HTC Sync 2.0.33
The Rom downloads as:
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Windows recognises the device fine, it shows up "green" in HTC Sync, Its recognised in "Devices and Printing" as Android Phone.
but as soon as I run the above .exe to upgrade the rom, it disconnects the android from windows, and then tells me that its not connected via USB. retard developers!
Now im really coming to an end with this phone, its doing my nut in.
I managed to get it to run the update somehow, i cant remember how i did it, pulling the usb out and adding it at different stages, somehow lol, and it only started, then died giving me this mess:
Comes up in "Devices and Printing" as an unspecified device called "android 1.0" with the hardware name HTC Bootloader, type ADB Interface

Closer
I did what it said in the Readme and took the battery out and rebooted, and im back to square one.
Its just physically impossible for me to get off this bloody default ROM!
please help me!
Wait, i think i cracked it. I created a Goldcard and after 2 attempts running the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver it worked!
and as soon as the phone started the "update" popped up for the 2.1 part 1!
yeah boy!
Make sure you have the correct drivers for windows 7

Hello,
A while ago I've managed to cross-compile a basic web server, resulting in a native ARM executable (you can find it here) that allows any other device to connect to port 80 (or whatever) and browse the contents of the phone.
Easy to exchange photos at a cafeteria which has wifi and both phones are connected - for example. No need for an FTP client, slow bluetooth, and so on...
However, I wanted more and since webserver was only handling GET (no POST / no CGI), I've started looking for an alternative that did the job.
Below, you will find a native ARM executable of micro-httpd, a light weight web server that supports CGI.
Download
Use it at your own risk!
mini_httpd_1.19.arm.tar.gz
It supports .htpasswd files to restrict access to folders - and it comes also with its own utility htpasswd which manipulates the password files.
micro-httpd website: http://www.acme.com/software/mini_httpd/
micro-httpd configuration options: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/mini-httpd.8.html
You can use almost any CGI interpreter you want, minus PHP. The PHP 4 Android (a native implementation of PHP) has only CLI (command line support) and even if you could change the PHP code of the scripts to output the missing headers. BUT! It also outputs debug messages that you cannot control, in the output of the script!
Those messages are are considered errors in HTTP / CGI.
The creators of PHP interpreter say that is only meant for Scripting Languages for Android (SL4A) which works with what they have. You can read more here: http://groups.google.com/group/php-for-android/browse_thread/thread/79d0b5f856189675?pli=1. This topic also mentions an alternative (CGI this time) from GroomDroid but that is also unstable.
Enter PERL!
I had good success with Perl 4 Android
I can how host a blog on my phone - I've set up a big tutorial on how to configure everything here Running native CGI scripts (perl) with micro-httpd on Android.

Next step would be to try out a file manager and test file upload, then go even deeper to see if I can access various phone details and offer a sort of management interface for them on the web.

Seems interesting !
Hi, i installed Windows 8 on my Laptop and all is well even aero works (which it normally doesnt in windows 7 and vista), ok... not everything; my graphics driver will NOT install. No matter what i do, (compatibility mode, different driver, older driver, newer driver) it just doesnt work, gives me an error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

My Graphics card is a Via P4M800 or Via/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP (yes i know the worst as can be, but my me or my dad didn't know this while buying off ebay)
I know there is know WDDM driver but aero seems to work- even without a driver
Please give me a driver, I cant play any games and aero lags and so does basic
ANYONE?!?! please help me... bump
This is a developer preview. This is at pre-beta stage. Give folks a chance to come up with drivers for it or for existing drivers to be tweaked.
but i heard all windows 7 drivers work, not all really
try install the .net framework 3.5
I have ati 6630m graphics card.
i tried it and it start working.
or
download the latest driver and install from the source
or from here:
download.cnet.com/VIA-S3G-UniChrome-Pro-IGP/3000-2108_4-146347.html
In the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver to start the Hardware Update Wizard. Follow the instructions to update the driver.
or if that does not work
then download the latest driver then go to device manager and update through manually finding the location of the driver.
sometimes it works.
Did you run it as admin?
remember disabling UAC doesn-t do anything more than just don't display the uac message.
but if you don't run it as admin some programs and installation wont work. and when in tried to install drivers without running as admin it didn't work. until i ran it as admin.
drivers should work. so i wonder if you ran it as admin.
