Hi there,
I've been trying to get a PalmOS Emulator to work on my C750, but haven't been that successful so far. I have tried to run: QPilot and QPose which limited success for the latter one. I get it to display a palm screen in the top left corner (doesn't magnify) and it runs very slowly (about 1/10th of the speed of my palm III). In addition to that, it only runs in Qtopia, and I have changed to pdaXrom some time ago. Has anyone compiled POSE or any other palm emulator for pdaxrom? Thanks chris |

Getting POSE to run on pdaXrom would be useful for some things. Unfortunately
a PalmOS ROM file is needed to run POSE. This was not a problem for me, since I own a few Palm devices, and was a "registered" developer a while back. I have a renewed interest in this, as I may embark on converting "Space Trader" to a native (LINUX/X11) version for the Zaurus. If I get addicted to the game, I'd like to be able to play it on my Zaurus until the conversion becomes solid. This topic has never been addressed, and I figured I'd bring it up again...  John |

Glad you could join;) Really, a palmos emulator would be great. Think of the 10'000s of pda-tailored applications that are available already...
Greetings Chris |

Hi,
Just keep in mind that I would expect it to run real slow, and eat battery real fast, based on my past experiences using POSE on a p133, and even a Sparc. And, I tried compiling it many years ago, on a P200 w 32MB RAM, and finally aborted the build after almost two days. I was later told that the low amount of RAM I had, was the main factor in the slowness of build process. The POSE architecture may have changed since then, but those were my experiences! John |

Space Trader is also my No.1 favourite game when I was using Palm years ago. A native linux port would be terrific!!
