How can I launch the Smartphone 2002 emulator without eVT?

Question

I know that usually the emulator is used for development purposes therefore the most common way to start it is to use eMbedded Visual Tools. However, I need the emulator for a presentation. Can I launch the Smartphone 2002 emulator from the command prompt?

Answer

Yes, you can. The actual command line depends on the installation directories. If Smartphone 2002 SDK has been installed to "D:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Smartphone 2002" folder and "D:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\Common" is the directory for common files the following command line will launch the Smartphone 2002 emulator:

"d:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\Common\Platman\bin\emulator" /ceimage "d:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Smartphone 2002\ emulation\Western European-No Radio\wwenoril.bin" /skin "D:\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Smartphone 2002\emulation\phone_.xml"

Adjust directories to your installation directories if necessary, remove line breaks and execute this command from the command prompt.

This technique will also work with the Pocket PC 2002 emulator. For example:

"d:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\Common\Platman\bin\emulator" /ceimage "d:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Pocket PC 2002\ emulation\English-No Radio\wwenoril.bin" /skin "D:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Pocket PC 2002\emulation\ppc2002.xml"
