Generating run-time image file for smartphone 2003 emulator

Hi,

I am using Windows CE 5.0 (eval) platform builder and generated a custom
OS image file for emulator x86 BSP. And using this image file (Nk.bin) as an
input
to smartphone 2003 emulator. The skin appears but nothing appears on the
screen, and no error appears!!

Am I doing something, which is not permissible ? Is there anyway i can use
this smartphone skin (supplied with smartphone 2003 SDK) to use the custom
OS i generated with platform builder 5.0 ?

Actually i want to test mpeg-4 streaming with the emulator, for which i have
included codecs using PB. If the above is not possible, is there a way to
achieve this ?

Thanks

You cannot use a CE V5.0 OS image in the SP2003 (V4.2) emulator. You can
however create an emulator image and use the V5.0 emulator and point it to
the skin files for the SP2003 skins. (They are just an XML file and
graphics)

How can i do that ? because once i press "Attach device" from Target tab of
PB, no options appear. Where are all the options ? or do i have to use
command line execution of V5.0 emulator ?

Then, I can give the path of the xml and bmp files placed in SP2003
emulation directory.

From the PB 5.0 menu select Target | Connectivity Options... and select
emulator for download and transport. (You can click on the settings button
next to the download field and select the skin file, screen size and
networking settings)
