Mainly #WindowsMobile / #WindowsPhone stuff 😁 #WindowsCE #PockerPC

La Nintendo 64 n’est pas morte ! Un bidouilleur s’est récemment amusé à installer Windows sur la vénérable console. Il utilise pour cela une cartouche spéciale permettant de lire une carte microSD et de charger Windows CE, une version datant de 1996 ...
🎮 Pause geek — Windows CE sur une Nintendo 64. Parce que visiblement, torturer du matériel rétro avec un OS que même Microsoft a oublié, c'est un sport de haut niveau. Le combo le plus inutile de 2025… et pourtant ça boot. Le geek qui a fait ça mérite une médaille et un suivi psychologique. 🏅

Another thing that really surprises me is that the #GPS stuff is driverless on #PocketPC.
I don't really understand why. Cameras, LAN adapters, non BT Keyboards, etc. all require drivers, but not the GPS stuff.
GPS uses the #NMEA standard but i find it hard to believe that support for this was baked into #WinCE.
Whatever the reason its quite convenient!
Also Garmin & Tomtom have navigational software that works on #PocketPC.
Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out how to configure these. Especially with newer maps which I have downloaded but can't figure out where to put them in the programs file structure & get them to integrate properly.
There is a lot of older software that Is easy enough to find, installs & works great though.
Pharos had the OSTIA software & Microsoft had Streets and Trips.
