    ARM Native Version of Liberty ComingPosted By: Ryan on Monday, April 12, 2004 10:04:47 AM
Gambit Studios developer of the Liberty Palm OS Gameboy emulator have announced they are working on a new ARM native version of Liberty.
The company announced they are currently in the process of completely re-writting Liberty for Palm OS 5 devices. The new version will be native ARM code, GameBoy Color emulation, Hi-Res and landscape support, improved SOUND, support for MEMORY CARDS, multiple save game states and full SRAM support. Maven, the lead developer for Liberty, is using Mobile Wizardry's Shark development kit for the project, which means the emulator will run on multiple platforms. The emulator will be released as a new product and the company is currently looking into the legal issues and should be able to make an announcement soon after. Thanks to Gaurav for the tip.

It's not the system... it's the games that are available on the systems. =) That's why to date I would never consider the XBox. RE: Totally Too Latehudsonhawk @ 4/12/2004 4:24:11 PM #
Reason 1: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons Reason 2: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages I'll pay the 20 dollars just to be able to play those games on my Palm. Like the previous poster said, it's a matter of games, not the specs of the original system. NES games were written 10-15 years ago, and the game design shows its age. GBC games are only a few years old, and even if though the specs of the GBC were less than ideal, a lot of companies managed to make some extremetely fun games on the platform.

The guy is polishing his coding skills. Maybe afterwards he gets to another system, who knows. RE: Totally Too LateTechnoPops @ 4/13/2004 3:42:36 AM #

GameBoy Advance. I have MorphGear for PocketPC and it works awesome on most GameBoy Advance games. Newer PalmOS machines have the same power as PocketPCs so I don't see a reason why GameBoy Advance emulation can't be done. --- PDAs: Psion 5> Vx > m505 > N770C > T625C > NR70V > e310 > T/T > HP h2210 > T/T3 & h4150 Mobiles: StarTac > T28m > T39m > T68m > T610 > T630 DigiCam: DiMage E323 RE: Totally Too Late
The guy is polishing his coding skills. Maybe afterwards he gets to another system, who knows. polishing up? :) mike was involved with atari retro - which, also uses SHARK. its just a natural progression to actually go ahead and do an update to Liberty. :) RE: Liberty and then someChipKerchner @ 4/13/2004 7:06:20 PM #
BTW, Mike/Maven is much too humble to bring this to anyone's attention but at the recently held Palm Developer's Conference 2003, he was selected as a "Palm OS Expert Guide". No one need worry about the speed of the Native ARM "Liberty". I'm sure we'll have no trouble getting it to run at fullspeed. Atari Retro runs at 60 FPS for the emulator core (while screen updates are at 20 FPS). Chip Kerchner P.S. We are also almost finished with yet another SHARK product - MomentumGame's Pocket Mini Golf. RE: Totally Too Late
Haha, Chip, even I'm a PalmSource Software Expert. You don't have to be an expert coder. All you really had to do was fill out an application, get accepted because you have a unique ability or insight, do the painstakingly long guide, and update it ever quarter. It's not really a prestigious honor, just a guide. ;) -Bosco NX80v + Wifi + BT + T616 RE: Totally Too Late
you know you had me clicking on that /porn/ link. --- Aaron Ardiri PalmOS Certified Developer aaron_ardiri@mobilewizardry.com http://www.mobilewizardry.com/members/aaron_ardiri.php RE: Freedom and then someChipKerchner @ 4/14/2004 5:06:13 PM #
My point is that you don't refine your skillset on an application like Liberty. Four years ago when Liberty was first release, people couldn't believe that a GB EMU could run about a lowly 16MHZ 68K grayscale Palm. Bosco, this isn't some privledge that they give to anyone (like the Handango Game of the Year award *g*). You should be proud. Good luck in your programming. Chip RE: Totally Too Late

 How about SNES emulator?Konstantin @ 4/12/2004 4:46:50 PM #
Doe anyone thinking about coding a snes emulator on native ARM? Gotta finish that Chrono Trigger. The best SNES RPG ever IMHO. RE: How about SNES emulator?
Our friend Yoyo of OpenSnes9x fame (on GP32 devices) has a Zodiac version of SNES9x (already available for those registere din the Zodiac dev programme); once he makes it a public version, I'll likely port it to Palm OS proper, so we shoudl have an Snes9x for Palm OS in a little while. jeff RE: How about SNES emulator?
Wow, That is good news...what is the link to his site please? I love snes9x great emulator with great filters hopefully they make the graphic filters work for palm os. Hopefully it will work with my zire 71. I do agree with the previous posters regarding the lateness of the Liberty arm native version. How long has os 5 been out? Gambit Studios has no excuse for the delay. They may be worried about pirate proofing their software as they have tried to in the past. I bet aaron ardiri is involved. Used to be visoredgeman then visorprismman, now zire71man! RE: How about SNES emulator?
...or maybe they were just really busy with other projects for clients? Only so much programming can be done in a single day :) (But I guess it's easy to critisize, isn't it?) RE: How about SNES emulator?

They may be worried about pirate proofing their software as they have tried to in the past. I bet aaron ardiri is involved. of course i am involved. in regards to the delay with any product development at Gambit Studios - the reality is that "paid" contract work always gets priority over the fun/hobby projects. mike has been quite busy over the last few years with mobilewizardry and associated development projects (in addition to mikes own projects) which basically meant that Liberty didn't have the highest prority. we also wanted to wait for the maturing of SHARK before we started Liberty. we proved the concept with Atari Retro - covering all the basics and getting the code verified and certified. porting Liberty is just a simple task now - GameBoy and GameBoy Color are just the beginning.. GameBoy Advance is also being planned - but, we have to prioritize our development now. RE: How about SNES emulator?killah fury @ 4/13/2004 6:53:20 PM #
FAO: Aaron+Mike You guys totally rock. I really can not wait for this release. I am ready to register immdediately. RE: How about SNES emulator?
On the other hand, yoyo's emulator has overnight grown GB/GBC support for Zodiac developers, it's quite impressive despite being a pre-release version!
