TUTORIAL

BASIC

* Get DeviceEmulator 2.0 from this post or from Microsoft (free download) if you prefer other language or x64 add-on.
* Install (it installs at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Emulator\1.0 :? :x)
* Get your preferred skin and image bin file from this post.
* Go to install folder, right click over deviceemulator.exe and make a shortcut.
* Edit shortcut properties and add at the end of execution line:
PPC_USA_VGA.bin /skin Pocket_PC_VGA.xml /s state.dess /memsize 128
o Change bin and skin files as you like. Set proper paths if files are not at same executable folder.
o Set memsize as you like, but remember it will be directly “stolen” from your PC system RAM. Default of 64MB not recommended.
o There are other command line parameters you can set like /u1 com1 or /sharedfolder folder_name but they can be configured later from inside Emulator.
* Execute the shortcut.
* Wait for a long period with black screen, be patient, think it is like a PDA hard reset.
* At Emulator menu: File Save State and Exit
* Now you get the Device Emulator State File: state.dess. Rename as you like and move it where you like.
* All next times just DIRECTLY EXECUTE YOUR DESS FILE!!!


TIPS:

* DESS file is like your PDA ROM: make backups of your more recent working file
* From this point you can hide or delete image bin file and skin files, they are not needed any more


ADVANCED

* Setting SD Card
o Create an empty folder wherever in your PC to be used as “SD Card”
o Set it at Emulator menu: File Setting General Shared Folder
* Serial Port, BT, IR, etc
o All PC serial ports (it includes serial ports added by BT, IR, etc devices) can be assigned as PDA serial ports at Emulator menu:
File Setting Peripherals
* ActiveSync
o ActiveSync configuration:
File Connection Settings - Allow connection to one of the following: DMA
o Device Emulator Execution:
To use ActiveSync you need to execute DeviceEmulator through Device Emulator Manager.
+ Go to install folder and execute dvcemumanager.exe
+ At Manager Main Menu: Archive Restore Image [Enter your DESS file]
+ Now you get DeviceEmulator running.
+ At Manager Main Menu: Actions Refresh (now you get a new device at “Others” branch)
+ Right click on new device and choose the menu option Cradle
(Full ActiveSync information here)
