After the official announcement of Windows Phone 7 Series, SDKs and emulator for Windows Phone 7 Series were made available at Microsoft websites. But the official emulator allows a limited access only to Internet Explorer, and some settings. Now the hackers at xda-forums have managed to fully unlock the emulator using which you can use all the features of Windows Phone 7 Series. If you want to try it at your home just follow the easy steps given below.
- Go here and click on the third tab (Visual Studio 2010 Express Beta 2) and download the Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP.
- Download the full emulator hacked .bin from here.
- Extract the file and rename the .bin file to “WM70C1.bin” and copy it.
- Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Emulation\Images
- Rename the existing WM70C1.bin to “WM70C1_old.bin”
- Paste the downloaded file.
- Now run the “Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone” from Start menu.
- Click on “File” in the menu bar click on “New Project” , a window will be opened click “Ok”.
- Wait for loading after that press “F5″ button from your keyboard.
- Wait for Emulator to load. Enjoy
Note: According to xda-forums you need to download “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1″ but i have tested on Windows 7 Ultimate without downloading Windows SDK for Windows 7. Maybe Windows Xp users need that so you can download it from here.
Try Android 2.1 on Windows here.
