Posted: Jan 20, 2002 @ 10:48amThe question is: Why?
You wouldn't be able to run any programs but what you wrote. Heck, lots of games that work on CE 3.0 don't work on PPC2002.

To tell you the truth, this is the dumbest idea I have ever come across. Give me one good reason why this would be benefitial or cool.

Posted: Jan 26, 2002 @ 6:35pmI think that it is stupid. If you want a different os, then usse PocketLinux or something. Making your own WinCE os seems pointless,
Posted: Jan 26, 2002 @ 7:32pmPosted: Jan 26, 2002 @ 8:17pmI actually made my own OS with PlatBuilder 4.0 and am now happily running Windows CE.Net on my IPAQ.
Fiddled around with a CEPC first and then just found out a way to flash the nk.bin to my 'Paq.
Too easy...

I'm, sure you'll learn shitloads from a project like that !
