日本化しよう！

Revised registry code (click here to see the outdated code)for the English OS version of PPC Win2003SE using the Japanese version of wince.nls. This has been tested with ComPOBox for Japanese input and so far works perfecty fine. Time to try a commercial Japanese input software like ATOK I guess.

Things you need…

  1. ComPOBox from here for the Kokugo Jiten.
  2. Nihon Win2003SE wince.nls from here.
  3. Any version of MSGothic (you can even take from WinXP or whatever)
  4. The registry code below…

"Wt"=dword:00000190

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"Limit"=dword:00004000

==============End===============

Update (3-Oct-04): I have tested (note: not extensively - this is my first PDA and the first times I am using the software) the hacked system with Decuma 2.0 demo as well as with JwPce and Mike Johnson’s Japanese input and Mini Dictionary. Decuma 2.0 appears to works fine; JwPce and Mike Johnson’s are workable but are not without flaws, most definitely because they were made for older systems. Just be careful not to install all of them at once and mess around with the registry settings too much. :-) I had to hard reset once when Word and File Explorer wouldn’t load despite a soft reset.

hmmm… I have a Dell Axim X50v and not only did I get a bunch of syntax errors on the lines with dword, but also whenever I choose POBox as the IME of choice, it resets to a plain old keyboard.

Any suggestions? Maybe it’s the syntax errors? I tried Decuma and that was still shrunk to 1/4th the screen :(.

Make sure that you have a line break after the last line of the registry code. I’m now using POBox VGA which is already modified for better viewing in Win2003SE. If you can’t view POBox correctly, it’s likely that you need to configure the correct directory for the dictionary files.
