Hey people, I guess at least some of you know about
Joe Blow's Win CE 1.0 Software Archive.
The thing is, althoug CE 2.0 software had wayyy more software available than CE 2.0, in the process of updating their products, software companies and independents droped CE 2.0 suport and removed old versions - which were 2.0 compatible - from their web sites, and consequently, from most software archives.
So, I'm thinking about building a web site for us, 2.0 users
(2.11ers are welcome, 1.0 too
), trying to colect these lost gems.
Some examples of what can be done:
- Tascal software droped most software for 2.0, like Tascal Regedit
( you can det it at HPCFactor
) and others. We could contact them and ask for the older versions, providing them with no support but the one we offer in this comunity.
- Way Back Machine has this web archive where you can get some files as they were 3, 4 years back. It works for some pages, that's how I got Text Maker for CE 2.0.
- Look in old forums to see what software people used all the way back.
- Pocket Doom was a game that most CE 2.0 users tried long time ago. The versions available now are confuse, hard
(possible?
) to make work. I managed to run in my MObilon 4600, but the colors are somehow confuse.
so, that's an idea, cause I see in the "Whats on my machi9ne" thread that most people got the same software, most of the software not contributing for expanding the potential of their machines.
