Comments on: Liberty Gameboy Emulator Review

I tried various of the roms refered to at gambits page, but either:
- There were > 32kb that the demo did not support
- Or they never got farther than the intro screen

If you find a rom that actually works with the demo, please post the URL here.

Thnx

Get Afterburner 3, comes with hackmaster 20Kb, speeds up individual programs on your Palm, I am clocking 28Mhz to get Liberty playable. You can get a copy here : http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?sid=62244620000701163254&prodID=7429" CLASS=NEWS TARGET=_NEW>http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?sid=62244620000701163254&prodID=7429

Does anyone know who sells a GB cart reader?

I have just tried Liberty demo. I think it is pretty slow, and I even use Afterburner at 32 Mhz. I hope it gets better in the full version.

A collection of under 65k games.

(Sorry for my bad english...)

All of you know that the color display is really sloooowwwww on the palm IIIc and all the games that are using it, like zap2000, are slower in color than on 4 grey machines. Try to disable color on the game "Void" and you will see it run twice faster.
If Libery is using color it only displays 4 of them. So, wouldn't it be great to switch the IIIc on "grey level" display within Liberty. It tried this with some utilities but it seems that Liberty is using color even whith the screens in 2-bit.

Hello,
I was wondering that since I am running afterburner, it is overclocking my visor...Right? So does that mean that I risk permanent hardware failure or damage? If I do, I will stop overclocking right now. I have been running just about everything at 32mhz now and nothing has gone wrong. But I have decided to stop until I can get an answer. Thanks! -Brian

Not to be an alarmist, but certain palm configurations have been reporting fatal reset loops, resulting in bliinking usor, that can only be stopped with a hard reset. Liberty has been taken down for the moment, and will not return till it is fixed. If you have dloaded liberty, but not installed please refrain from doing so at this time, until an updated version is available.

Are you going to have a mac version of the ROM converter soon?

It's about time that someone came out with this. Intoducing the "ShockNad", the worlds first virtual pleasure machine for the palm platform.
(You know that there was some motive in calling it the "Palm") Users will slip on the specially
design rubber sheath which is embedded with circuits that will generate heat and electronic
pulses, while simueltaneously watching a downloaded "partner of their choice" on the LCD
screen. (The IIIc is best) The sheath will plug into the expansion port into the palm while the user reels in delight
as he is automated ino ecxtasy. Cleanup is a breeze. Just unplug it and run it under the sink
and the "after-love" liquids will virtually swim out. Some of the "partners" currently in development
are Carmen Electra, Pamela Anderson, Will Smith, Bob Hope, Liz Taylor, Richie Sambora,
the legendary Micky Mantle, and last but not least Dru Hill. In the future we see Wu Tang Clan,
Baywatch babes, and Darth Vader. It will be out in August, but preorders are being accepted at
<www.bionicnad.com.> Pricing will be $49.99 for the sheath and roughly $10.00 for each
cyber partner. Visit us for more information.

anyone knows where to find any other convertors for the palm liberty

First, if you haven't downloaded the newest version of Liberty (1.0e), you may want to. It is significantly faster than the previous version. Coupled with Afterburner, it is finally getting where it needs to be in terms of speed. I am pleased with the performance I am now getting.

Now, does Liberty actually have the ability to save games? If it does, I may never know because I only have the Zelda ROM on my Palm. To save, you must press "A", "B", "Start" and "Select" at the same time. I don't think it is possible to press "Start" and "Select" at the same time since they are part of the Palm's screen and you can only press one thing at a time on the screen. I'm looking forward to Liberty eventually coming up with a solution for this. It would turn the emulator from an amazing novelty to something I would actually use.

Heres and idea for a willing spring bord develepor a module that will let you plug game boy games INTO the visor (the slots about the right size) so any offers for develeopment!!!

Don't bother with paying for Gambit, it's not worth it instead check this out

and try Dr Mario for a perfect Palm Pilot emulator...
I also try Pokemon but it's a bit slow and big for my 2 meg...

I admit, I haven't tried Liberty, but I did try out PalmBoy, another Palm emulator. Yes, it is much slower than the average gameboy, however, I did find it playable, and this was without Afterburner (I look forward to seeing how Afterburner makes it work faster). On action games, it is annoying, but for games like Final Fantasy (except for some animation scenes) it is tolerable.

I mean, I wouldn't sell my gameboy anytime soon, but I am very impressed these emulators can run games at all on the Palm. I think most just have to realize it's a trade-off... if you want free games on a handheld device then you have to tolerate the slowness (at least until the Palm technology gets better). If you want speed, then get one of those devices that will put roms onto flashcards, and play it on a real gameboy, because you just won't get it on the Palm.
