Thanks for the heads up. I actually have no issues with USB–using Mandriva 2007.1 here. It's just the emulator that won't start. I'll install VS 2005 and see where I go from there.

Regards,

Manuel

I used Visual Studio 2005 with the Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator as well, so that should work. Make sure that you mount /proc/bus/usb first. There is a thread at the Ubuntu forums that describes how you can do that.

I am currently using VirtualBox. The binary version (not the open source one) has support for USB pass-through as well.

Hi there,

What version of Visual Studio are you running?
I'm trying to use the windows mobile 2005 emulator in a windows XP virtual machine but no luck so far.
