Note: This was originally downloaded from: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/download-google-android-emulator, then I had to unzip it, then add the RAR extension to the unzipped file, then expand the archive, then figure out how to do the above.
BlackBerry:
- Install and install the Java Development Kit (JDK) 6u21 (1.6.21) for your platform from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-jsp-136632.html
- Download the zip file: http://www.eioboard.com/downloads/Utils/BlackBerryEmulator.zip
- Unzip to a folder.
- Install the Blackberry Email MDS
- Install the Blackberry Simulators
- Rename the new program files folder to BlackBerry so you can find it easier (optional)
- To use it:
- Launch the Email/MDS program (will open a DOS window that scrolls with text as data moves through it)
- Launch the Blackberry
Notes:
-
- I had to disable graphics acceleration from View, Graphics Acceleration, Off
- Also went to Edit, Map Middle Mouse Button setting, and set to Trackball Click
- To do anything, you must click on the center button, hold, and move the mouse, then click to select an area. You can also use your keyboard for some navigation, but not all.
