Manley Evangelista's Windows CE Bootable CD is a bootleg 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".
Description
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 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 are from the HPC Factor website.
On the first boot, you get detailed instructions on how to operate the boot disk and take advantage of its included executables along with a listing of the available Windows CE versions.
The four Windows CE versions are as follows:
- Windows CE 3.0 (named "HPC2000" (even though it's not Handheld PC 2000 which is an entirely different thing) on the CD)
- Windows CE 4.0 .NET (PDA) (named "WCE40PDA" on the CD)
- Windows CE 4.0 .NET (Webpad) (named "WCE40WEB" on the CD)
- Windows CE 5.0 (named "WCE50" on the CD)
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't support the VESA standard, even though the images themselves were made in question for Virtual PC's enhanced S3 Trio64 emulation, which included special features related to VM integration.
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.
Changes from Windows CE
- None
Notes
- There is a VESA test executable which prints all of the available screen resolutions that your VBIOS can support. This is preincluded alongside LOADCEPC when making a boot disk thru the Windows CE Platform Builder.
