I wanna play good old Perihelion (http://edvardtoth.com/games/perihelion/), originally for Amiga computers, on my J720. I search the web for some Amiga Emulator and I found PocketUAE, but I can't run PocketUAELauncher.exe (Cannot find... etc.), it seems that the requires higher version of OS than HPC2000. So I tried to copy rom and floppy images to PocketUAE folder and edit configuration (but I don't know if I edited it correctly) and run PocketUAE.exe but nothin' happens. With WinUAE on my laptop Perihelion works perfectly, but my wish is to have a pocket version for travelling. And I haven't been succesfull yet.
Can you help me, please?

For UAE.exe (it's not PocketUAE.exe, I was mistaken in my first post) ExecutableChecker reports nothing.
But for PocketUAELauncher.exe says: mismatch CPU type, requires OS v. 4.0 and mscoree.dll
So I will never ever run the Launcher on J720 , but I think that it's only GUI and with correct config UAE might work .

That means it's a .NET Compact Framework application. Try installing the .NET CF 1.0 runtimes on the 720 and then see if it runs.

Nope. But I can see some progress. From 'Cannot find...' to 'Unhandled exception'
And ExecutabilyChecker still reports CPU type mismatch and OS 4.0 requirement.

Executability Check always says that with .NET CF apps, even ones that work. The "Unhandled Exception" error message is the bad news - there may not be a solution for this.

This message means that you are running an Intel XScale software on an StrongARM processor. I got the same error too with one applicaton I was trying to load. I just entered on the software site and downloaded an older version that was compiled for my processor (strongarm) and it solved.
Search on system requirements of PocketUAE to see if it needs XScale or StrongARM.

cmonex has a tool that supposedly takes programs built for xscale and converts them to be compatible with strongarm. Look here under "hacking tools" and it's the last tool in that section. This way you should be able to use the latest version of whatever software you may are having this problem with.

You all are missing the boat, folks. It's a .NET CF program, so the CPU identifier will be 4C 01 (x86). Changing the OS identifier won't do any good - and it's not necessary. As I said above, the CPU error message in Executability Check always comes up with .NET CF executables, even when the executables work on the CE device.

hmm.. both information are interesting! Thanks mscdex and ce geek. Certainly I will try this bizarre hacking tool from cmonex. It sound really promissing. I have a lot of software that I wanna try. Will post my results later

In my case (PocketUAELauncher) CE Geek was right, XScale2ARM cannot help me.

Do you mean XScale2ARM or PocketUAELauncher?
Output from XScale2ARM (you can see i386 machine code which supports CE Geek's opinion):
D:\instal\Jornada 720\XScale2Arm\Pocket UAE Launcher.exe ---------------- MACHINE: 0x014C [ INTEL i386 ] SECTION NUM: 4 CODE SIZE: 0x0001A000 [106496] BYTES OS VERSION: 4.0 OS SUB VER: 4.0 ---------------- SECTION TABLE(S) .text SIZE: 0x0001A000 OFFSET: 0x00001000 -=CODE=- .sdata SIZE: 0x00001000 OFFSET: 0x0001B000 .rsrc SIZE: 0x00002000 OFFSET: 0x0001C000 .reloc SIZE: 0x00001000 OFFSET: 0x0001E000 ---------------- PROCESSING...

And when I try to run the Launcher, I get this error (for both version of program, the original one and the converted with XScale2ARM too):
Application has performed etc. etc. Program: Pocket UAE Launcher.exe Exception: 0xc0000005 Address: 01fceb04
