RE: need a car?
In a tight parking lot with pedestrians while squeeeezing between other cars, wouldn't the mirrors be the "ARM Processors"?
I think something's getting lost in the translation here...
Is that like an aristocratic (high bred) version of Steve Austin (the Bionic Man)?

Is MAME completey out of control?
This is insane! MAME's "requirers" are an outrage! Sounds like this program is one of the most demanding affectations in the entire PalmOS library. Does it actually work better with PalmOS 6 (Cobalt) or PalmOS 7 (PalmLinux)? Then I hear I have to buy a Toyota Prius for it? And it needs a lot of "free space"? (Step back, people. Give MAME a little room!)
I realize that my affluence over MAME's developers is very small, but I can't reprehend why they designed such a resource-hungry emulator. It's the very pineapple of resource-hungry PalmOS affectations. Sorry, but I refuse to give in to MAME's demands.

RE: need a car?
PalmOS 5 allows for better graphics control for games. You will see this is going to be the trend with newer more graphically enhanced games. Example is MicroQuad. GREAT GAME!! Not for OS4 though.
Your comment is akin to me getting mad because my aging Nintendo64 cannot play the newer GameCube games! "This is insane! Nintendo's "requirers" are an outrage! Sounds like this game is one of the most demanding affections in the entire Nintendo library. Does it actually work better with the Nintendo Gamecube?!?!??!"
I mean give me a break! Another difference is that OS4 runs on DragonBall Processor as well as some ARM. OS5 requires an ARM processor.
Also, it is probably based on existing MAME source code written for x86 processors. Instead of REWRITING a majority of the code from scratch, it is MUCH easier to code it for ARM architecture because it is closer to the platform it was originally designed for than dragonball.
Just deal with the fact that you are trying to play GameCube games on your Nintendo64 and you may just want to UPGRADE instead of whine.
RE: need a car?
OS5 only runs OS4 applications because of PACE (Palm Application Compatibility Environment) which emulates aspects of the older DragonBall processors.
RE: need a car?
MAME requires a lot of resources inherrantly.
Since when do those resources include a Toyota Prius?

Somebody didn't get the joke.

Just sick of people complaining when people write software outside of their aging devices and they are too cheap to get a new one. And .... I did get the mispelling in his post.

Great app
BTW - nice to see PIC actually doing something on gaming. PIC used to do a lot more software reviews/coverage. You need more of that.
