Barry, who owns WM and WinCE device emulation, let us know on this post that the new V2 Beta CTP is available for download here!

According to Barry, V2 has:

  • Much improved performance
  • DEComInterfaces.idl - the COM interface to the emulator, along with sample code showing how to use DMA to communicate between a Windows app and an app or driver running inside the emulator.  This is the DeviceEmulator's equivalent of the "Building DMA Drivers for the Windows CE.NET Emulator" article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncenet/html/builddmadriver.asp.
  • An eXDI driver for Windows CE Platform Builder 5.0, giving you a hardware debugger interface to the emulator.
  • TabletPC ink input support
  • Countless bug fixes

You will not want to miss this one, believe me :-)
