GameBoy Emulator Still Not Ready
Despite sending out a press release last week that implied that the long-awaited GameBoy™ emulator for the Palm would be ready July 4, the Gambit Studios site contains this message, "We are excited to announce the first GameBoy emulator for the Palm platform is undergoing final testing and will be available within the next few days! Thanks for your patience."
It is interesting to note that it has apparently been renamed from Gambit to Liberty.
UPDATE: Aaron Ardiri, user interface developer for the Liberty emulator, posted a few screenshots here to calm the nay-sayers. The release date could be any day now. Please be patient, a lot of time and effort has been invested in this and it will be quite worth the wait! -Ryan
The site still has only a few pages that aren't password protected but the bottom of their announcement page has this, "Gameboy game software sold separately," which cuts to the heart of the problem they are going to face: How are people going to legally get ROMs?
Another question is 'How many GameBoy games will Liberty be able to play?' Their legal page has the following, "Gambit Studios does not warrant compatibility with all Gameboy games. Liberty may exhibit some defects in certain games, including, but not limited to, video flaws, lockups or other anomalies which may affect how the games play. Specifications are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without notice."

stupid question
Death of native Palm game development
RE: Death of native Palm game development
RE: Death of native Palm game development
Another thing, the Palm has more RAM, and 4 times the speed.
Gambit Studios main goal is to develop awesome games for the Palms... the emulator will just provide the funding to do so. We are in negotiations with two major game publishers to port their top-of-the-line titles to the Palm... titles from the Playstation and PC!!!
Keep watching... the future is exciting!
its up

AfterBurner Question
Since afterburner is overclocking my visor, does that mean I risk hardware failure? I know about the risk of loosing all my software, but I do not want to permanetly damage my visor. I have stopped overclocking until I can get an answer.... Thanks!

2. Will you include software to convert the roms?
3. Will it work with the Visor?
4. How large will an average Rom be? (I only got 2 megs)
5. Will it be freeware (lol)
Thanks!
