Huh, is there really no cross-platform Windows Phone emulator, even after all this time? That would be a fun qemu project

It took 17 hours from /goal prompt to Windows Phone homescreen, using GPT-6.1 Sol Medium, while half my CPU was building out an iPhone 6 emulation core in the background. It went and found the firmware assets, figured everything else out from scratch, and even adapted an accelerated graphics driver from the recent qemu-hd2 project

So I now have what I believe is the first fully-functioning* Windows Phone 7 emulator. Running on macOS. It’s all qemu based, targets a Lumia 800, and it has a virtual Adreno GPU backed by a Metal renderer. Next task is to deploy some of my own XAPs to it and get Lights Off running 😜
*Still working on the ‘fully-functioning’ part, but see for yourself…
Networking!
(Not that Windows Phone’s version of IE can load any modern website these days either)
