<p><div>At 0.99 cents, it is worth a try, and for that reason alone I will not critize it too strongly, but in general it is rather slow, I guess it depends on your Android device, so far only tried one.</div><div><br></div><div>The two relevant points to make are:</div><div><br></div><div>1-It supposedly runs any pre OS5 program, running some acceptably (memoleaf) , though I am unhappy with how it runs Acrowiki. You maybe unhappy with how the screen looks in a small cell phone. I haven't used HandyShopper in a while, will download again to report how it runs.</div><div><br></div><div>2-Perhaps the most important point of all, it actually Hotsyncs with the Palm Desktop!!! There is no other emulator that does Hotsync in Android so far (Styletap is much, much bett
er, and runs OS5 programs, but without Hotsync, and at $50 bucks, it is dead in the water).</div><div><br></div><div>So there you are, is there anyone left here who cares about running the Palm OS?</div><div><br></div><div>I will leave most of the technical details for you to read at </div><div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://perpendox.com/">http://perpendox.com/</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);">I recommend you do not use the roms mentioned in the phem site, I find them too slow. Instead, choose one from the following site (I downloaded all to play around with): </span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://artnetweb.com/gh/palm_emulator/roms%20Folder/Popular%20ROM%20Downloads/">http://artnetweb.com/gh/pal
m_emulator/roms%20Folder/Popular%20ROM%20Downloads/</a><br></div><div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);">In my experimenting I discovered that the earlier the version of the rom, the faster the emulator, but if you go below OS3.5, you will lose the use of many cool programs that require OS 3.5, including Memoleaf, Acrowiki, and many others.</div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);">I suspect the roms mentioned in the phem site are slow because they support the use of an external card, and the ones in the link above are faster because they do not. So far my favorite is the one for the Palm IIIc, because of color and reasonable speed:</div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);"><a rel="nofollow"
target="_blank" href="http://artnetweb.com/gh/palm_emulator/roms%20Folder/Popular%20ROM%20Downloads/Palm%20OS%203.5-en-color.rom">http://artnetweb.com/gh/palm_emulator/roms%20Folder/Popular%20ROM%20Downloads/Palm%20OS%203.5-en-color.rom</a> <br></div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">P.S. Some programs are designed for running in both OS5 and pre OS5, but the data files for each are a bit different, and if you accidentally put OS5 data files in this emulator (as I did with Diddlebug), it will crash.</span> <br></div></div></p>
