Hello guys,

Which Pocket PC emulator are you using for development with fpc?

I tryed to install an emulator on my notebook, followed the same link as before, but it seams that MS updated their emulator (unfortunately).

It used to be a PocketPC 2003 emulator, now it is a PocketPC, but runs Windows Mobile 5

The whole problem is that now PocketConsole command-line doesn't work. It installs ok, but when I try to run it, it just doesn't do anything!

Anyone knows another console that runs on WM 5? Or another method to execute my apps to test them? Or maybe where I can download an OS Image for a OS that will run the console.

I tryed gdb before, but it's so slow I'd rather execute the app directly without debugger.

thanks,

Hi,

Is anyone using the new emulator? And if so, how do you test your apps?

thanks,

How do you run your apps on the emulator?

Yes, it' s the same emulator as before, but what I ment is that they updated the operating system, and on the new one the consoles don' t work.

Hello,
When you run your emulateur, you give the repertorie witch is shared between lazarus (compile exe) and the emulator.
ex : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Emulator\1.0\DeviceEmulator.exe" pocketpc.nb0 /skin Pocket_PC.xml /memsize 128 /sharedfolder C:\LzProjet\man\

Here i lunch the emulator with
image Os Wince : pocketpc.nb0 (same directorie as exe of emulator) Picture of the pocket Pc model : /skin pocket_pc.xml (one in the emulator install)
size of Ram : /memsize 128 (for exemple 128 meg)
directorie share : /sharefolder C:\LzProjet\man\ ( my lazarus project is, and for exemple with an test.exe

You compile under lazarus to have a test.exe

Under the emulator, you lunch "file explorator" (programs), and you go to "Sd card", your Sd Card is the shared directorie.
You click on test.exe.

You had to stop the run each time before recompile, or the file will be busy (test.exe used by emulator). The (X) on the rigth of the windows don't stop the run on pocket pc, you must stop the run by a button witch close the main window. (or you stop the process under system / memory / stop process.

I also access to the web under the emulator, test that in a first time. bye.
