<h3>Legacy SDK's </h3>
<p>For legacy SDK's the OS/SDK version is determined from the SDK id. Some older SDK's have two verisons, one where the emulator was built with MSVC and the other built with CodeWarrior. We support those SDK's built with CodeWarrior. The id of that SDK is <span class="code">S60_2nd_FP2_CW</span>.</p>
