Answer 1

Have you tried running Microsoft VirtualPC along with the Windows CE6 image or some other image for the version you are using

I have not tried this myself, but it seems to work. (from my google/youtube searches)

Answer 2

Yes, the option you've missed is that you can create your own CE image for the emulator with the emulator BSP. You then generate an image and run it with Device Emulator 3.0.

The reason Microsoft no longer ships a CE emulator image is that there is no such thing as a "standard" Windows CE OS image. Generally speaking you create an image that matches whatever you've got on your specific target hardware.
