Liberty 1.2 *speed deamon* out
Liberty 1.2 is now available, and as promised it provides you with dramatic speed increases (30-70%) through a complete rewrite of the screen handling code [we had to do it] and there is also limited support for sound! You can now play your favourite games with the bleeps and blops you have all been asking for :)) Please take our word for it when we suggest you disable any music that is played in the background (its kinda annoying).. it is also possible now to configure your games (grayscale, color, config) on a game by game basis! It should have been there since day 1, but - its there now, so you don't need to keep asking for it!

Works OK for me
I'm really hoping one of these complainers (and I mean that in the best way possible) would go out and buy a Visor Prism and let us all know if they like Liberty on that unit.

RE: Not Quite there, but getting better
its on the drawing board - we are working / seeking springboard manufacturors for this. the ideal solution would be to provide an external CPU / speaker on the spring board so that we can handle sound and provide full speed gameplay - while at the same time plugging the cart into the back of the device. a springboard module with these capabilities would sell :)
RE: Not Quite there, but getting better
Drawing board??
RE: Not Quite there, but getting better
yes, it is *in* the works. you'll just have to wait for rest of the information.
i thought "I.M. Anonymous" people didn't like the software? why would you like the hardware adapter? and, this hardware adapter would only be suited for Handspring devices - would you make the switch just for this?
as i tried to explain earlier, we use any proceeds from the software to aid future development or provide support that users need. we dont invisage a "profit" from such an application - any payments are returned to the user with new features and future expansion.
my other games are free - guess why?

a few amusing facts there :)) however, July for me is a working month (heck, Liberty 1.0 was released then!) :P

RE: Still prefer PalmBoy than Liberty!!!
interesting :) you see, when people register, they provide money not only for our efforts, but they ensure that we have the ability to purchase all devices that are relevent to ensure the successful testing of our products.
i just pulled out my Visor Deluxe from my drawer (with the other 14 Palm Computing Platform devices) and installed a fresh set of batteries and installed Liberty. overclocked the baby to a nice speed, and wola.. no problems at all.
maybe you should provide more details of what you "did" when you installed Liberty? did you remove the previous version before installing? did you test the overclocking capabilities of the device? just saying "it crashed my visor" doesn't give us much to work from.
Liberty also runs on the Visor Prism and Platinum devices (yes, we tested these devices), something that PalmBoy is not capable of doing right now.
And let nots forget to mention that Liberty *can* run games that are > 512Kb (ie: *all* the Pokemon games) which PalmBoy also does not support and also that Liberty provides a vast array of configuration options and a well presented (professional) user interface. You pay for what you get - end of story.
If you personally prefer PalmBoy, thats fine with us :) however, in future, report any problems you are having directly to us, and we may be able to offer you a solution before you make yourself look stupid by saying "it doesn't work".
RE: Still prefer PalmBoy than Liberty!!!
And I'll tell you what.. I am greatful that I saved my money and used the crack floating around to see if your program was worth it..
Enjoy :-)

Platinum?
RE: Platinum?
yep :)) we have been good boys and try not to hack into the devices so much to make them dependent on existing hardware :)) at the moment, you cannot use an overclocking utility on these devices (afterburner may be updated soon)? :P the software will pretty much survive any device upgrade (unless it is a different screen size - we will fix this "hack" later, when we need to)
if you download "nowaitz", you can get an extra boost :)) Liberty runs fine on the Prism (and you can tweak the colors) and the Platinum devices..

Hey Anonymous
2.) If you don't like Palm, please buy a Pocket PC and spare us your bitching. Maybe if you buy an iPaq you'll stop posting on this or other Palm forums.
3.) Palm is doing well and producing units that, by your own stats, 80% of buyers want. The folks at Palm are getting it done. Oh, that's right, you bought an original Palm Pilot, they should kiss your butt, right?
4.) F.O.
Other Projects?
many games including Dr Mario run at full speed and it seems all of the graphics problems have been sorted, now I can see MegaMan!
Could we have some hints about any other projects you are working on?
RE: Other Projects?
We can't say too much about our next projects (non-disclosure and all), but I think they will be worth the wait!
I will tell you, we keep improving Liberty in our spare time, and you can expect even more speed improvemnts and other enhancements in the next few months.
Regards,
Maven

Not Quite there, but getting better
I'll keep checking future versions though. No doubt that as new devices become more powerful (Perhaps using the StrongArm chipset- or whatever it will be), this emulator speed issue will be a thing of the past. Once this happens, I'll be registering it. Until then...
Thanks for the hard work on this great idea!
