I tryed your version and I alredy have it. First step for internet is complete, but I have not idea where I can find some network devices for qemu. Thanks...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TruckyBN:
images!!

You can make own hard disk image or flopy image with this tool download and just change extension from zip to exe and run. After makeing disk add .img extension on hard disk image.

do you mean something like that? rtl8139.c and other files are included.

But I dont understand, if you type something like

"-net

nic,model=ne2k_pci"

there is already the card in guest and I had driver installed and device "working" and it seems to search dhcp but qemu says "vlan 0 is not connected to the host" so it feels like network devices are running and only qemu can not connect to wimo network.

aSID how to install sound and touch drivers in xp.Is it on winmo or pc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
making it first on pc qemu is faster but I had to install it on HD2 again. But 2. time drivers already in system folder. Installing those drivers will take about an hour so dont wait for this.

I dont know how to disable useswap, only way now for me is making sd card nearly full so no swap file could be created. This makes emulation much faster.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drjawad:
i mean aSID how to install it. in which folder of xpimage? in system folder or where and through which tool qemu manager or winimage so much confused.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
oh it is same like installing drivers on a real xp computer.

create additional drive images, copy files into it, include it in your machine and install the driver in host like normal installing drivers on xp.

first all on PC:

Install qemu and create a virtual machine with Trukkys xp image as c drive.

Add es1370 audio device to virtual machine options "-soundhw es1370".

Add tablet device to virtual machine options "-usbdevice tablet".

my complete qemu options for machine on pc (I renamed Trukkys image to cxp.raw to get rid of the spaces):

qemu -L . -m 128 -hda cxp.raw -hdb d.img -hdc e.img -hdd f.img -soundhw es1370 -usbdevice tablet -vga std -boot c

Extract the driver folder and copy it somewhere xp host will find it.

I created additional flat hdd images with bochs image creation tool. You can load up to 4 hdd images at same time like -hda c.img -hdb d.img -hdc e.img -hdd f.img. Load image with qemu host and format it fat from host. Shut down host and open image file with Winimage or other image browser software and copy driver folder to it. Boot host again and install driver over device manager or as it askes for new hardware driver for audio device after boot.

If you have a flat hdd image file running on host you can duplicate it and load it as d,e and f drive and insert all the files you need on host.

Also you can create and load floppy-disk-images with "-fda" and "fdb" and cdrom- or dvd-images with "-cdrom". Add "-h" to comandline to get complete help in text output file.

now on phone:

Ok if driver are installed and running on xp image copy it to sd card.

You can also copy your additional drive images to sd card and add them to cmdline options. Boot image, if you are lukky sound and touch driver is already running, if not you have just to install driver again because hardware id changed but drivers are already on system folder now. Sometimes windows is buggy on installing driver and you have to do this some times with some reboots but this driver on trukkys xp image works fine.

If you load a cdrom image you can use only 3 hdd images because there are "only" 4 ide channels.

aSID can u plz upload ur xp image with installed touch and audio drivers and pm me the link as m unable to make it.wud be so thankful to u.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
ok I will do but I have no upload account and wait for trukkys ok and want to include much more improvements and may be internet will be working soon so stay closed we or I will upload soon.

What Software do you all whish to be included?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
you can also open trukkys xp image with winimage. Install winimage, start it and drag trukkys image on it to open. Now you can insert the sound driver folder. Copy image back on phone.

Add to cmdline.txt in qemu folder:

-usbdevice tablet -soundhw es1370

boot xp, wait until it recognizes audio hardware, choose "dont install automatic, i will choose driver", "have disk" and browse to your driver folder, click ok, choose those wdm device, click on install, ignore errors. Now you should have sound. Set it to mono speeker, low quality and disable acelleration for max performance.

If xp dont recognizes new audio device after boot, choose it over device manager.

May be you already disabled everything in msconfig, this disables also sound and hardware detection. So reenable everything but 32 bit driver and try again.

But you have to wait up to an hour on boot until xp recognizes all drivers and install driers will also take long @ phone. As known xp is very slow on boot if there is new hardware and on slow phone emulation this will take some time but later if all is installed and set right it will boot complete faster.

May be image seems already complete booted for you but it will take another 20 minutes until xp just begins to show there is new hardware so disable phone powersave options, boot xp and leave it at charger overnight and continue from time to time.

Thanks alot aSID. is there any other emulator which is faster than this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
I dont think it is possible much faster, as author wrote guest code is running direct on host cpu and all the other devices have to be emulated too.

Maybe I suggest this time to use windows 98 for much more speed and many software. But wait I will continue work on images and I hope Trukky is getting qemu better and online. Anyone inerested in a nice german win98 image? I will set up a enlish image later. Could someone provide webspace for images? This will need some space. If you remember what is happening this is already fast as lightning.

Why do we want to run this ancient crap anyway? Port something more current FFS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
maybe because it is fast, including many features, 2010 directx support, running many useable softare: multimedia, dtp, 3d, compiler, games, and I hope network soon and for many things I would prefer win98 because of it´s speed.

Also win98 is best and worst OS ever and a nice experience.

I am running 3D studio max and Photoshop on this at same time and it feels like old workstation I had some years ago but this time on phone and e are just making experience and try to improve this and make it ready for next gen hardware so please dont ask for the reason to run win98 on phone.

@ undergroundcugir

copy qemu folder direct to sd card and edit paths in plugins_ini.txt, cmdline.txt and if there emul_cmdline.txt. Change the "storage card" entrys to your phones language like displayed in explorer. If it is still not running look into qemu-out.txt and if this not helps post output. Good luck this works!

running qemu (Puppy Linux) on qemu (WinXP) on HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drjawad:
aSID wats qemu puppy and plz upload it so that we can use it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
I installed an english Win98 image and will uploud a complete image + qemu soon.

Qemu puppy linux is a small linux distibution including configured qemu so you have just to click on the puppy to boot it onto your system.

I just booted this on trukkys xp image, just to test qemu on qemu ce:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qem...uppy 2.17-1/qemu-puppy-2.17-1.tar.gz/download

This is very stable but at nearly zero speed. Win7 could run on this easy but booting would take realy months!

what I think about Win7:

It should be possible to get win7 running on qemu ce but performance would be no fun out of the box.

I realy would suggest to think about what you want to do. There is no use for directx 11 support because there is no hardware for it (not even for directx 1, only direct draw hardware without real accelleration)

I like to use Photoshop and 3D-Studio max. Also my Windows surface. I could maybe boot actual versions of Photoshop and 3D-Studio on xp or may be on Win7 and may be speed would be nearly useable. But running Photoshop 4 on Win98 is so much faster and nice direct touch painting and you can edit much bigger images on it because ram is not already full of indows and photoshop itselfs.

Photoshop 4 is already nearly same as photoshop cs4, dont missunderstand me, there are so great new features on actual photoshop but basicly photoshop 4 and photoshop cs4 are image editors with nearly same toolbars, all the basic functions are already there.

If I like to use protocol or editable text I use Photoshop 5.5, that was first version with those features.

I also realy say windows 98 surface is nearly like windos 7 surface and there are no basic diffrences. This is also for win3.1. Ok many new bling but on qemu ce you should disable this if you realy want do do somthing else then showing nice windos on phone. There are also many new features but nothing basic and nothing makes sense to use on todays snapdragon devices.

So if possible you should run a version of your software on win98 and only if your software realy needs it you should run it on xp. It is realy unbleavable great xp is running because of its again very advanced software support.

So lets do windows 7 soon if more useable windows-versions are finished.

win98 is a good choice for this because it is very improved to earlier versions and supports a very large software list from today or yesterday to early dos days and it runs at useable speed, qemu is about very limited early win98 hardware.

I had trouble again with mouse behaviour on qemu folder I tried to include. Another few hours without sleep but it is finished and I try to upload on mega. I already tried to upload on the xda-developers.ch account but it allows only 60 mb and I have about 202 mb. I hope mega upload will work.

It is a complete Windows 98 setup(only web tv is not installed) with some important updates, drivers installed for qemu devices, some settings optimized for touch input, a virtual keyboard, a virtual mouse helper, some bling settings, some little programs to play with and "Radix" demo to show some fast 3D-Frames on a very old game(trigger escape to exit).

Try screensavers and solitaire ;-)

Directx is not installed because early versions are not downwards compatible and could not be removed easy so you could install the directx version you will need. I would suggest directx 9.0c.

You could use additional hdd, cdrom or floppy images to install software. You could also boot this on qemu desktop to get online if you need updates or something like that.

It includes a qemu version optimized for this image, very fast with a nice UI and usefull toolbars, I hope it is easy to install and will work for all.

Just follow the steps 1-5 in the folders.

Memory is set to 192 mb, if it does not start try to reboot phone first or set mb to 128. For me it works nice with up to 220 mb and I copy my sd card full only about 50 mb free so qemu could not create big swap file and is running faster in ram. Sometimes it does not start with "could not allocate memory" message but after rebooting HD2 it works nice again.

Some software is not running on this because a qemu bug. I noticed this on calmira xp and 3D Studio Max 3.1. If you have trouble running software that should run on Win98 use the image with trukkys qemu version. It runs everything I tested. But it is slower and without menu and issues on toolbar keycodes so only use it if you hve problems.

I will send links as soon image is up, hope it will be up soon before I fall into sleep.

Tap short to move mouse pointer to finger.

Tap long for left click. Double click is set to slowest speed and is possible, also you can double click on mouse button on toolbar or press enter on toolbar.

Hold and drag for "drag and drop".

Use toolbar for right click.

Use AE-Buttons to set up some hardware buttons for use in qemu. Bluetooth input works also fine.

Upload is nearly finished but not verified and I have no account, hope this will work :eek:

-emul

I had issues on mouse behaviour in Win98 if I did it otherways.

The issue is the mouse is hard to move without dragging.

This issue was even if I startet qemu.exe form a link instead starting direct the qemu.exe. Very strange and I could not find the reason but the way installing the cab and copy/replace the files into qemu dir mouse behaviour is fine in windows. Short tap to move long tap to click. If you have other problems with this try again my way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSiD1712:
baybenbey you can not access your storage card from emulation host.

Open the virtual hdd image "c98.img" with winimage on desktop pc and insert files you need.

If you need more storage you can clone the image, rename the clone to d.img by example and add the line

-hdb d.img

to emul_cmdline.txt in qemu folder. Also you can create new, bigger images with bochs image creation tool or add cdrom image files to machine with -cdrom xy.img.

And what exactly is the advantage of having Windows 95 on your HD2? Its funny allright, but I suppose that messaging and calling isn't possible anymore...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aszu:
This emulator (which can run Win95) is just an app running on your HD2, it doesn't impact/remove/change WinMo in any way - so you obviously still can make calls and so on.

In most cases, running Win95 on smartphone is just purely for fun, however I can think of some examples when it actually might be useful: i.e for running some old business application, etc.

Actually, using this emulator you can run almost any x86 program on your HD2, as I mentioned before HoMM2 (best game ever!) works absolutely great and is fully playable with your fingers.
