'''Manley Evangelista's Windows CE Bootable CD''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows CE|Windows CE]] boot CD distributed by Manley Evangelista. It released on August 3, 2013, and was added to the archive on February 26, 2023. It used to be made available as a MEGA download on a YouTube video of his titled "Running Windows CE on a Dell laptop" with the original filename of "WinCEBoot x86.iso".

Unlike most bootlegs which usually edit an existing Windows distribution (especially 32-bit ones), this one is a DR-DOS 7.03 based boot disk of 4 stock Windows CE versions which are booted using the LOADCEPC.EXE program which loads the kernel into RAM and boots it directly from RAM on the system. All of the images here (even DR-DOS) are all from the HPC Factor website, which were originally distributed seperatelyseparately in their own bootable VHD images.

* Windows CE 3.0 (named "HPC2000" (even though it isn's nott Handheld PC 2000, despitebut it's technicallystill beingnot far off as it is based onoff of Windows CE 3.0) on the CD)

The difference between the so-called "PDA" and "Webpad" versions of Windows CE 4.0 .NET included on the CD is that the PDAWebpad version was built with the (WindowsMicrosoft orMessenger MSNcomponent whateveras you want to call it) Messenger componentwell while the WebpadPDA version was built with the regular E-mail POP3 Client component instead. The image names are exactly the same inas the ones from the HPC Factor website as well.

Then, there is a disclaimer for the first version that warns the user that the aforementioned version may not display correctly, as the emulated display driver doesn'tis supportnot correctly configured on the VESANK.bin image therefore it is completely broken on all VGA standardcards, even though the images themselvesin question were made in question for Virtual PC's enhanced S3 Trio64 emulation, which includedincludes special VM integration features relatedexclusive to VMVirtual integrationPC.

There is nothing else of note to document in this section, aside from it being the first Windows CE bootleg to ever be in the archive.

* There is a VESA test executable which prints all of the available screen resolutions that your VBIOSVideo BIOS can support. This is preincludedpre-included alongside LOADCEPC when making a boot disk thruusing the Windows CE Platform Builder.
