I have some industry specific software designed for desktop/laptop use that would be great if i could use it on my dopod 838pro. It is unlikely that it would be released in a WM version but i were wondering if there is an emulator that i could use or any other way of making this work.
Thanks
The System Requiremens for this program are Windows 95 or higher,32MG Ram, 256 colour videocard (16 bit coloour or higher), 250mg HD free, 800 x 600 colour moniter

Not sure if it is still supported or being worked on, but look here for a way to do it.
You will also have to look here for some of the files that are mentioned.
The rest I shall leave as an exercise for the student...

Couldn't you run it under terminal services if it is an industrial strength app?

Thanks
Has anyone had any experiance with the bochs emulator (especially on the hermes) and can tell let me know of any draw backs of this
Terminal Services? i am a noob and if some could explain this to me or point me in the direction of information to help my understanding this would be greatly appreciated
Bochs is slow. ARM processors aren't super fast to begin with, and aren't great at certain types of math functions. As a result, Bochs is perhaps unusably slow. Certainly investigate it, Mamaich has done the best work on it. If you have the resources, have it optimised and report back.
However, if XP could run well on PocketPCs, Microsoft wouldn't have introduced UPMCs right?
So, the alternative to running an XP app directly on the PocketPC is to run it not on the PocketPC.
Terminal services is the Remote Desktop software built into most of our phones. It will let you log onto a "remote" PC's desktop and control it as if you were sitting in front of it. With a high speed data connection, it's very usable, and obviously you get full XP capability (or indeed if you use an alternative like VNC, you can have full Linux or OS X or anything capability) on your PDA.
However you will incur data charges for the connection. But if you're on an office connection or wifi, no problem.

It is the memory requirements for this application that has forced the company to discontinue any new versions/updates and provide the last one for free without any support.
They stated "at this point in time WM devices can't handle the next level we want to take our software. So instead of producing an application that does not meet our standards we have decided to pull it from the market"
Perhaps more of an excuse for the software developers not being able to work within the constraints of current PDA limits- who knows.
Right you are... eats up about 6mb of memory. But still I enjoy showing it off to my buddies. I'm not sure if this can be installed and run from a storage card. Will do tomorrow.
Hey, if you want your PDA to look like Windows, use Windows

Have you tried to create a webpage from the screen of the PDA??
I would actually make use of your TSC program had I a suitable device- unfortunately still stuck with JAM- no point of term. services via bluetooth!
Wouldn't mind having one of those up and coming mini-tablet style devices that are due to run the full blown version of XP though.
I'd like to have an OQO or something Unfortunately even the Universal's screen becomes too much work on the eyes after a while. Such a dilema: want a big (VGA) screen, want a small phone. Not gonna happen.
I don't think I'd like an OQO day to day, but nice in bed. But yes, VJFullscreenTSC could be used to write webpages from the Uni.
As I understand it, Experience is a flash app isn't it?

I've been fantasising about getting a Universal for sometime but I dont want to ditch my BA. As I don't see it as being that much of an upgrade to warrant paying & hassle of arguing with O2.
However, I'm on-call for my company and was wondering what the quality of VNC over 3G was like?
Has anyone tried this and is it practical?
.: bump :.
Not sure about over 3G but can imagine it's roughly comparable with normal VNC over broadband. Also depends what version of VNC you use on the exec as there are a couple.
Over wifi on the exec it's pretty good, though I've found that logmein.com is a far better solution - if such an option is open to you. Also found that dynamicdns.com is meant to be good, and allows you just to RDP onto installed terminals.
If none of these are applicable, then VNC on the Exec is just as good/poor as desktop equivalents.
Cheers

Thank gawd Citrix released the latest WM 5.0 compatable version of GoToMyPc Pocket View so now I can remote into my desktop using my handset. GoToMyPC PocketView allows pda owners with a gotomypc subscription to access amd work on any registered machine remotely.
If security is an issue it uses an SSL-encrypted Web site and end-to-end AES 128-bit encryption of the data stream and chat as well as keyboard and mouse input; multiple passwords, including an access code that resides on the host computer and is never transmitted or stored on GoToMyPC servers; and notification when the PC is accessed.
Because the o2 XDA Exec has a 640 x 480 touchscreen and UMTS (3G) capacity it makes life a whole load easier using PocketView than on previous pdas. UMTS has a theoretical speed of 384 kbs so any refresh delay is hardly noticible especially combined with the fact that the software itself pixel refreshes.
Here's a couple of images of it in action!

They seem like the perfect combination for those who intensively work remotely who insist on not having to drag a laptop around with them.
Thats settled then - I'm getting one.
Also what mount are you using in the car?
Brodit Active!
www.dsldevelopments.com are a good supplier (I know the owner and bought the Exec cradle from him)

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! :lol: now that's a mobile office
Was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction to a remote desktop feature like LogMeIn?
Tried using the Universal to get to LogMeIn but wouldn't work on either IE or Opera.
Have you tried Terminal Services? It's built in...
If you do, have a look for my VJFullscreenTSC.

Thanks Vijay....
I'll give it a shot
Logmein works fine for a lot of people, including myself...what problems are you having?
Logmein works fine for a lot of people, including myself...what problems are you having?
If you did the registry hack that makes pocket IE report that it's a desktop browser, LogMeIn will not recognize your device properly when you attempt to sign in. Make sure PIE is set to all defaults, log in to logmein.com and it should tell you to install a small file called RACtrl.cab From there on out, everything should work great. Good luck!
MJB
hi i have got logmein account and everything works just fine. just one question how can i connet to logmein using terminal services or maybe other app ??? cheers, cudp
Great one
z2r2pc is a great remote access software it has excellent file transfer too.
mbial
Thanks for the suggestion. It works. Setting PIE to default took care of the issue.
Some more info concerning LogMeIn on PPC browsers:
Netfront 3.3 -
Will not show Remote Desktop. However, will allow you to transfer files to and from PDA if you have LogMeIn Pro.
Opera 8.6 -
Remote Desktop will not display when you set the Opera browser as Desktop and not Handheld Device.
Setting up as Handheld Device will have LogMeIn Prompt you over and over again to install their software - hence, it will not work.
As for z2r2pc. since you have to pay for it, I'm not going for it.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=16879
ehabh - Thanks for the suggestion. If LogMeIn decides to get rid of its free version, I might just go that route.
hi, is there a way to connect to logmein through terminal services client and if not how do i configure it? cheers
Does anybody know if its possible to write a virtual keyboard driver which takes its "keystrokes" from a network stream?
I think about a windows (or MacOS or Linux ... ) application which sends the keys typed in a textfield or similar via TCP/IP to the PDA.
The PDA should take these keystrokes and send them to the application in the foreground.
In Window, I would need a self writen driver (writen in the MS driver development center) to simulate a complete keyboard. What about Windows Mobile? Can the compact framework do something like this even if the programm is not in the main focus?

Dirk
You can not write drivers for Window Mobile in CF, in fact as far as I know you can not write drivers at all in .NET, they have to be written in native code.
But I think that for your purpose drivers are not relevant. In fact, i wouldn't use a 'fake' driver approach for desktop either. It is over complicating matters.
All you need to do is create a small and simple server (should be easy to do in .NET) that will listen to the network and generate keyboard events. It does not have to be an actual keyboard driver or SIP.
Now I am not sure about CF but there is a Win32 API that applies to both desktop and mobile versions: keybd_event()
You can use it to simulate keyboard input from within any kind of app without worrying what application or control currently has focus.
Thanks!
My sample applications works already. I am able to send single keystrokes via TCP. Now I have to think about usabilty and debugging
The next step will be to implement some kind of protocol to send the exact keystroke representation to the PDA...

Due to this tiny transfer protocol everythink works like if the keyboard would be directly connected. All I have to do is implement special characters like @, €, ...
I think I will publish it open source under GPL. But I need responses if anybody needs functions not contained by my little programm...
Hmmm... how about making this work the other way around? I'd love to be able to send keystrokes to my computer from my Pocket PC (for remote controlling Winamp, for instance - all the WLAN Winamp remotes available are either ****e or lack a seek function...).
Thought you guys might be interested in this.

Work in progress. Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0MqPMMBUqQ
The application mockup is done in JavaME. The UI engine powering all the animation is from UK's Tricastmedia - TWUIK
Not enough? Lots' more videos showing prolished GUI created with TWUIK here -> TWUIK UI midlet demos. See Nokia Widsets and Yahoo! GO UI mockup developed using TWUIK.
Wow...that GUI looks nice. Very interesting. Does anyone think something similair can be created for the java machine on our PPCs?
where do u download it
that looks pretty cool... as ive read you not going to be publishing this? am i correct? would really like to try it out on my TyTN
If they're not gonna release that, then why show it off?
On J2ME? But why? A bigger memory hog?
I dont think this can be used on a pocket pc, since it's not java oriented.
S60 will work.
J2ME to make it work with most MObile (ppc included)
hamoda-t: notice that you need a touchscreen, which not all mobiles have, in fact only few do.
I don't remember Nokia being tactile? (but I don't follow Nokia scene development).
And Windows Mobile has a built in Java virtual machine....
Hi,
Tricastmedia has WM5/6 compatibility for TWUIK, so... It can run without problems since TWUIK is cross platform, using Java or native PPC code or any other supported platform. Read @ Tricastmedia page.
Regards,
Taguapire.
Please share...
