Trying to do the impossible!

dwinhold

Hello everyone,

 

I have dis-assembled the Windows mobile  (old version) and trying to make it run on the Raspberry Pi. I believe with a modification/addon to the pi with a microchip or emulator this could be possible. Anyone with any ideas I definately need them, as well. I am willing to share any and all info/software to try to get this to work.

 

Thanks everyone!!

  • It was a honest mistake about the dis-assembling, I didn't change anything on windows mobile 5. I was looking more for similarities that may help. My post says about modifying or adding on to the PI to make it work not modding windows, I am quite aware that modding a copywritten program is illegal. I figure more adding to the PI and writing code for linux to accept Windows. I legally own the copy of Windows Mobile 5 so I do have the product code. I have a fully operational HP pocket computer and a replacement fully functional mother board and processor. I have also contacted Microsoft to discuss my idea and the possibilities. If anyone has ideas for what I am thinking of doing I will share the software (my code, not Windows). I have no intentions of selling or giving any of the MS software. As well, if this works, MS will be the first contacted of success and direct me in which direction to go.

    writing code for linux to accept Windows.

     

    I really have no idea what you mean with that.

     

    Windows Mobile 5 is not like other windows that it runs out of the box on different architectures.

    If you have a version that functions as update for a hp pocket computer, it will only work on that pocket computer hardware.

    Windows Mobile is based upon Windows CE. While you can freely experiment with Windows CE development. (It's a plugin for Visual Studio now), you needed to sign an NDA with Microsoft to design a Windows Mobile platform. Your hardware also needs to furfill some specifications. The early pocket pc's and some early smartphones used it untill that market was taken over by Android.
