I can't change the memory size for a Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator. This is what I have tried.
In Visual Studio 2008 Professional, I can try to change the RAM size of an Emulator by going to Tools->Options->Device Tools->Devices. From there I select a device (I am working with USA Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC R2 Emulator) and click the Properties button -> Emulator Options button. I check the Specify RAM size box and change it to 256 and hit OK -> OK -> OK.
This does not change anything. When I launch that emulator from Visual Studio, and then from inside the emulator go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory, it shows the following 2 totals:
Storage: 31.42MB
Program: 36.99MB
From the emulator window if I go to File -> Configure..., it shows the RAM size still set to 128, and yet according to the emulator OS there is less than 128 anyway. I know I had this working before I switched from XP to Windows 7. I have tried clearing the saved state, before and after making the changes. I have tried doing a soft and a hard reset with the emulator.
I got it working. I closed all emulator instances and then from Device Emulator Manager I cleared the saved state of the emulator. I exited the Device Emulator Manager. I changed the setting from inside Visual Studio again. I launched the emulator from Visual Studio by selecting Start Debugging with my Smart Device project open, and then I selected the emulator. Not sure exactly what I did wrong before though...
