desktop program on windows mobile ?

[dam]

Hello,

I might sound naive but would it be able to run a desktop simple application (such as a dictionnary in my case) on my windows mobile device ?

Thank you in advance for any tip :)

No.
Different OS and different processor architecture mean your WM device wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with this app.

There DOS emulators that can run old apps with varying degree of success bu nothing for windows as far as I know.

As it's been pointed out, it's pretty futile to try to emulate anything. Use a remote controller application - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 for more info

EDIT: I've just noticed you've already read the article :)

There is a DOS emulator for ppc though.

BTW, there are a lot of dictionaries for the Pocket PC, including even Japanese. Did you read my related articles?

No, I looked around, but could not find your article. I would be glad to have the link.:)

I also found out that roadlingua dictionary shell (http://www.absoluteword.com/roadlng/) might be a solution, as I can create my own data base. I might be able to tune the one that is working on my desktop and implement it on this shell (french<>japanese). I will give it a try this w.e.
:rolleyes:
I also found these dictionaries for Japanese<>English (most of them freeware)
