Caution

WCECL is no longer maintained. It was a fun experiment, and it exhausted itself - there is no point to continue further. Thanks to all contributors and to everyone interested!

Tip


Meet CE Runtime Foundation - a hardware level emulator and a successor to WCECL.

Windows CE Compatibility Layer (WCECL)

Improvised Logo

Use WCECL to run original Windows CE applications on desktop Windows.

This project includes

  • COREDLL: a library that wraps Windows CE APIs and redirects calls to desktop Win32 APIs
  • SubsystemTool: a program that allows you to modify subsystem attributes in portable executables (.EXEs)

Notes

  • ⚠️ The project is at an early stage of development. Only one application has been confirmed to work so far.
  • 💩 Contains bad code!
  • 🙂 Contributions are welcome!
