Hallow every body, my dad got a bunch of theas devices and when i got the suspecion that they where running WinCE i decided to try and get one to run it with Destinator only as an option, took me about 3 houres and i had it running worms 2 world party
The trick to it is to replace \ResidentFlash\DShell\DShell.exe with a file browser.
Thanks for sugesting GSFinder, initialy when I tryed Total Commander the app just crashed.
It's true that alot of things has been striped like the explore shell and if you try to go the the usual file brows menu in any program the program will crash, but thers alot of dll and other files that where just hidden from ActiveSync so things arent so bad.
Windows Media player 9 is still there and you can brows for files using the libery functiuon instad of open file to avoide it crashing.
Thers also a fully functional control pannel.
PIE has also been rmoved but it's render dll seams to still be there and can probably bed acced from the help program or a 3part browser program
(working on one now
).
Unfortunatly my pda/phone is running win mobil 5 so most dll's seams to be incompatible
(AXXION run actual WinCE 4.2 not the mobile version
), but installing GX.dll in windows allowed me to run Duke Nukem 3d.
Installing any cab's seams to fail
(also when directly executed from the phone
) but bouth DShell and Destinator is listed as installed items.
One wired thing i have found is that the landscape mode steams to be its native orintation witch confues a few apps causing thing to be taller then the screen and I don't know of a way to rotate the screen so fare even thoug I found some keys in the registry.
Also since thers no Explore I can't seam to open the sip keyboard, but using the remote display control from MS power toys I can use the pc's keyboard for now.
Hers a list of what i have running and what dos not run so fare.
Runs:
GSFinder
Tre registry editor
Duke Nukem 3D
(spvDuke
)
Worms world party
Scumm
(no actual games tested
)
Does NOT run
TCPMP
Adobe reader
Any exe from windows mobil 5 os.
myExtensions
PocketRar
psShotXP
And lastly heres some shots to prove my claims
P.s. At my school thers a few computers running 4.x i hope that i can mabey copy the explore shell or some other files from them altohough they are Cyrex processors so they are probably incompatible
