Windows – way to run Windows CE 6.0 emulator at a 1024 * 600 resolution

emulationwindows-cewindows-mobile

We are creating an embedded application for Windows CE 6.0 for which we do not have the hardware yet. We would like to be able to run in emulation mode at a resolution of 1024 * 600 to develop as that is the screen resolution of the hardware we will be using.

It appears that the highest resolution that the Windows CE 6.0 emulator supports is 800 * 600.

Unfortunately no - or at least not easily. The emulator's video driver doesn't have enough memory to run at 1024x600.

It may be possible to alter this (I say may because I've never tried it). You have the display driver for the emulator's display driver (%WINCEROOT%\PLATFORM\DEVICEEMULATOR\src\drivers\display\lcd) and it looks like s3c2410x_lcd.cpp at around line 260 sets up the display size.

The question here is does the emulator shell application limit the sizes that you can pass in here, or does it have some hard-coded limits? I don't know the answer to that, but you do have all the tools to figure it out.
