Install/Execute ".prc" files onto my XDA Mini S?

[TOMC107]

Hi,

Ive recently bought a XDA mini S, and so far im pretty impressed! Just having a bit of difficulting, adding software and games because a lot of them seem to be .PRC files. When I double click on them on my laptop it just says unable to open file? I have succesfully download some software but the have been exe files.

Thanks for your help!

You can't open these .prc files natively because they were not coded to windows mobile, or any windows version for that matter.

.prc files are coded specifically for palm os handhelds or smartphones like the treo 650 or 700p.

It's like trying opening a MAC OS file on a windows xp.

Though u CANNOT open windows mobile files on palm os, you CAN open .prc files through emulation on windows mobile, on a program called styleTap. (http://www.styletap.com)

It's not free but it does have a trial so u can try it out if u like. Personally i found that it really works well.
