After upgrading my iPAQ 3950 to Pocket PC 2003, EMU48 no longer works. When
I try to launch it, I get a splash screen, then the program seems to
terminate. I tried uninstall/reinstall with the same results.

Anyone else have/notice this problem?

Yes, emu48 doesn't appear to work with PPC 2003.

I don't have PPC 2003, but I do have a theory. Would someone who has PPC
2003 be willing to try the solution below and report back to the group?

Many older applications won't run under WinCE .NET 4.0 (aka PPC 2003)
because aygshell.dll has been removed. PPC 2002 and below still have this
dll in the OS. I know that Emu48CE uses this dll. Here's one place I found
aygshell and a related one named doclist.dll :
http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Cupertino/2039/dummydll.lzh . Just
copy the two dll's (iPAQ uses the ARM version of course) into the Windows
folder of your pocketpc and try running Emu48CE again. (If you're wary of
the above files, just search aygshell on Google and you should be able to
find a couple of other sources).

Incidentally, aygshell was added back to the latest .NET 4.2, but I don't
think any new PPC's are running it yet.

I could be way out in left field on this one, but I think it's worth a shot.

I downloaded the file, but my PPC 2003 iPaq says it already has these
files when I try to copy them to the \Windows folder.

Ditto. I have these two files already, and their modification date is a
year newer. Is there some reason the older files will do the trick?

Sorry guys. It was my understanding that the files in question were not in
PPC 2003. Since they're actually there, I have no reason to think the older
versions will make any difference.

Thanks for trying.

I found the problem with emu48 and have corrected it. I am surprised
it ran on any PPC as it is a programming error.
