There is a 100% legal way to test how will perform a given application created for WM5 or previous releases into WM6 without the need of upgrading the Athena ROM.
I needed this to test a push-mail application developed for WM5. My idea is changing my X7500 to WM6 if and only if the push-mail application I'm considering works on WM6. Since taking the X7500 back to WM5 once you changed it to WM6 looks impossible I look for a solution to test before take the decision.
So... I found that WM6 emulator from Microsoft is free and freely available and emulator images are free too and freely available at microsoft.com
You will need:
Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0, which is the emulator itself. This program does nothing without the emulator images but you need the program, off course. Here is the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...53-f231-4a64-a648-fea5e7061303&DisplayLang=en
Then you need the emulator images... let's call them ROMs if you want... but they call'em emulator images.
Windows Mobile 6 Localized Emulator Images, just donwload the ones in your language. I suggest using the profesional ones since in that set there is one called VGA Professional that match the features of our X7500. Here is the link to all languages:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&DisplayLang=en
Just donwload and install the Device Emulator 2.0 (the first link I mention) and once installed donwload and install the profesional emulator images in your language.
Find the entry VGA Profesional in your Start menu in Windows XP and just install the application you want to test in your emulator.
Simple.

Hi,
Ive got 5 CAB files which all go together to run a little program i have written, however, when installing them on my XDA IIS every one of them displays the message 'The program you installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows Mobile software'. I think these errors may become a problem when i place it in the Extended Rom folder.
the files are as follows
- OpenNETCF.PPC3.ARM
- MyProgram_PPC.ARM.CAB
- sql.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
James
Hi LinQ
The problem is that the OpenNETCF and SQL CAB files were built for WM2003 and _NOT_ WM2003SE. This means that WM2003SE cannot verify that they will work correctly with features such as the screen rotation facility.
To stop your app from coming up with the same message, you need to download the WM2003SE SDK from MS (haven't got a link sorry... but google for it and you should find it) and then target your application at the new WM2003SE device option that you get.
Hope that helps
Is it possible to use a prophet imate (or imate jamin) on the Microsoft Windows Mobile emulator.
Ideally using an actual dump from my device or extracted from the latest JAMin rom from clubimate?
Step by step would be nice or just some simple pointers, I could figure out the rest.
Thanks
Hello
is the microsoft windows 2005 device emulator a part of the visual studio 2005 or is it available standalone?
Both. VS 2005 comes with its own device emulator that run code specific to emulators.
MS now also has a standalone emulator that runs ARM code. It is free for download from MS site, just search.
thanks dude
Is there any emulator which can emulate the nk.nbf of the ROM image on the PC??
what is the nk.nbf?
nk.nbf is the ROM image file which is flashed on the device for changing or upgrading the ROM of the device...
so it is some sort of boot strap image
can any one stick in a link to the ms stand alone app i cant seem to find it
sorry for the inconvenance guys
Here is one.
thanks and welcome to xda
i downloaded Windows Mobile 6.1.4 Professional Images (USA) and vs_emulator_x64_vista because i want to test my new cooked rom, and i dont want to flash my diamond every 30mins...i am still at begining of cooking and i dont want to kill my phone
so installed this run WM 6.1.4 Professional VGA and emulator booted up, but on device in emulator it is a stck ms rom, and i want to change it,but option is locked(i cannot change OS image)
so i tried runing Cellular Emulator but i got error There are not seven pairs of XPVCOM in system
any idea how to run it and test roms?
i am using win7 x64...
please help.....
I can't see your point.
You try to flash a diamond rom to the emulator... The problem is that the emulator is a different "device". It's no use trying to use a diamond image (which contains diamond device drivers and so on) on the emulator (which requires "emulator device drivers").
What you can test on the emulator is software setup, registry settings and so on...
so not possible?
maybe i can somehow add diamond devixce to emulator?
I don't think so... but maybe someone else has an idea
Hi all,
I have spent over an hour here trying to find this info (if it is available!) but without success so maybe someone can help me by reading this thread.
I have Palm Treo 500v with WM 6.1 version unlocked on my device and thinking about flashing with one ROM found here.
I would like to create a full ROM backup of my device, test the thing on Microsoft's simulator V3 (this is optional, if there is any better one please let me know!) and than flash my ROM on the device.
I am unsure on how to proceed with dumping (have emulators working but would like to have it on simulator as well).
It's not a problem to simulate any platform via VMWare, VirtualBox or MS (crappy) Virtual server as long as there are explanations in plain english language, ie what files do I need and explanation of commands.
Thanks for your help and keep up the great work!
