Increase storage for Windows Mobile 5 emulators

Question

I use the Microsoft Sync Framework to synchronize a SQL Server database with a SQL Compact SDF file on a Windows Mobile 5 emulator. We have a 2 gigabyte SD card on the device on which we are deploying, so we would like to save our database file. However, when I map the shared folder as a memory card in the Windows Mobile 5 emulator, the SQL Compact engine cannot create or modify the database file on the associated memory card due to an error. Therefore, to get around this during development on the emulator, I was just going to store the database on the internal device, however it was limited to 32 MB, and I can not find a way to increase it. Does anyone know how to increase the space on the emulator. I am talking about memory space, not RAM :).

Otherwise, does anyone know how to get past the error when you cannot have the SQL Compact database file on the memory card in the emulator?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549675 you will find a driver for the emulator, which installs a RAM disk, which for the emulator is considered as an external memory card, but does not suffer from problems with displaying the folder. I checked with the SD Compact SQL file stored in RAMDisk and it works like a charm. I used it as a 64 megabyte drive, but presumably it can handle up to 256 MB.

Memory size must be a value between 64 and 256.
