Hello all,

I have a complete Windows CE image of an ARM processor mini-PC104-computer that uses a compact flash card as HDD (I've got the image in that way).

I'd like to be able to use this image in a VM. I don't have access to the CE computer.

Can it be done somehow?

Thank you in advance...

My guess is that you'd need an emulator for that. It's my take that VMs like VirtualPC emulate PC's but not mobile devices running Windows CE and the like.

Whopee! Just found this by googling WindowsCE device emulator

That looks like something you could use.

Solution 2

When you are using visual studio, then this will (when feature is installed) have a built-in emulator to run windows ce/mobile applications. It also looks like VirtualPC has support for it.
However, I don't actually know how this is for VMWare. What I do know that the version of VirtualBox I'm currently using doesn't support it.

Good luck!
