Mario β Another GameBoy emulator for PalmOS
Browsing thur Palm Opensource and found that another opensource Nintendo GameBoy Emulator is under developing, it is call Mario, an emulator developed for OS5 with natvice ARM code.
Although it is still in early alpha version, but I think it is worth to support and try!
More screenshots can be seen here at sourceforge.

SDIO devices on PalmOS
I was cleanning up my collection of PalmOS gadgets last week, found that I actually have a few SDIO devices for PalmOS.
1/. Palm SD Bluetooth Card.
2/. Veo SD Camera.
3/. Spectec SD PDA Camera.
4/. PalmOne SD WiFi Card.
Looking back, I remember great demand from users for a Drivers for Palm SD Bluetooth Card on Treo600.
The Palm SD Bluetooth Card was released at the time of OS4, at about the time of m505 series, drivers was only released for OS4 devices supporting Serial profile, OBEX (No Audio Headset profile), OS5 support drivers was never released.
Until the age of Treo650, users also went back the same route of demanding drivers for PalmOne SD WiFi Card.
The Drivers of PalmOne SD WiFi Card only support Tapwave Zodiac, Zire 72, T3, T5, TE2 and even Treo700w, but no support for Treo650.
A hacked drivers by Cool Hackers exist claiming to work on Treo650 with lots of work-arounds, but I never was able to get it working on a Treo650…
Actually there are more SDIO devices like RFID reader, Laser Barcode scanner, GPS, better/cheaper WIFI Card, FM Radio Card, but most of them does not work in Palm as there are no drivers, I asked a few company who design them why don’t they support PalmOS, the reply was SDIO drivers are hard to develope on PalmOS…..
Although I personally do not have many knowledge to hardwares, but I think is such a great lost to Palm users that we can’t enjoy much of the extentability of SDIO devices on our Palms..where it was there since the year of 2000 with a m500….
Interviewed by a local magazine.
Introduced by friends, I was interviewed by a local magazine about GPRS/UTMS/WIFI mobile devices user in HK.
The interview was fun, we spend a few hours in Minnaya cafe, many new devices to try out, like Nokia80, new SE UIQ 3G smartphone, a few never seen devices, nice coffee as usual…
And the the Web browser which went open-sourced a little while ago by Nokia was GREAT!

Wonder is anyone working on it to port it to other platform like PalmOS? (I know LOTS of porting is needed, just dreammig…)

Hack&Dev β Linux on Palm before Access.
As great developer/hacker getting their hands on the “Linux on Palm” project, other than just great progess of Linux and OPIE/GPE on Palms, a few funny “We didn’t know that!” has been discover, like:
TT3 actually has a Red LED
hackndev – Palm T|T3 Gallery
Debugger discovery
hackndev – SmallROM Debugger revealed
Oh, forgot to mention, hackndev is the site for getting Linux running on Palm devices, good progess has been made, altho not fully yet, but Linux was able to run on machine like Zire71, TC, TT2, TT3, TT5, Zire72, TE2, TX, LD, Treo650 etc, if you are interested, head of the image galleries to have a look.
No more tears β make your LD/TX stop whining
Just browse thur hackndev to check the latest status on “Linux for Palm” and saw this new hack.
Quote from hackndev:
I don’t know if some of you noticed it, but Alex released a nice hack to make your LD/TX stop whining … my TX is a lot happier now!
It is a tool for TX/LifeDrive user to stop the whining sound from the screen.
Head off their sourceforge project page.
Or the direct link whinehack.prc (1.0) here.
I personally don’t have a TX/LD to test it myself, but from sources claims it should work with all XScale CPU PalmOS, and may/should crash with OMAP/Sony Engine devices, you have been warn!
