windows mobile 6 standalone emulation…only at the funcave!
that’s right, kiddos…
as promised, the robot horde spared no expense getting windows mobile 6 running standalone with device emulator v2. here’s a few screenshots as proof:
and yes, these are functional…
apologies for the large pics…want to be sure everyone’s clear that this is true standalone emulation.
now, as has been mentioned here & elsewhere…
if you have a copy of visual studio 2005 standard or higher, you can use the windows mobile 6 sdks that have been released with device emulator v2.
but for those of us without vs2005, we’ve been sitting on our hands since the wm6 sdks were released.
well, that was then…
this is now.
consider this your only warning…
this method is not for the faint of heart. nor is it for the short of time, disk space, or bandwidth. as in, you’ll need to download roughly 8 gb of data. that’s right, i said 8 gigabytes.
and the installation process will take at least a 24~30 gb slice temporarily, altho the final operating space needed is actually quite small, comparatively speaking. which means less than 600 MB.
here’s the list of all the device types you’ll have at your disposal…
if you’re still interested, well…
you’ll just have to follow me.
updated: in response to the deluge of inquiries we’ve received & just so everybody’s clear on our method. it doesn’t use pirate roms, cracks, nor anything illegal whatsoever.

Chris,
I happen to have a copy of Visual Studio 2005 Standard. In that case would it be easier for me to install VS 2005 and download the WM 6.0 SDK and extract the WM 6.0 emulator images somehow using VS 2005, or, is it, in fact, still easier to use the method that you specify at your www site?
Best Regards
John Holmblad

There is a much less resource intensive way. you can open the msi files in an extractor and jsut remove the ones you need and just use a bat to launch them

@ shawn…
Wow…welcome to last year, man.
BTW, extracting pieces violates MS’ EULA in a big big way. They consider that reverse-engineering. Yes, I know…crazy. But that’s why I didn’t outline that method
For those of us who didn’t just wake up from a coma, there’s an even easier way than any of this. Namely, all you have to do is load the standalone Device Emulator Windows Mobile 6 images, which were released in May of last year: http://www.chrisrue.com/funcave/2007/05/wm6-standalone-emulator-images-available-now.html
