Hmm whats the CPU on that thing. My bro's Brothers Palm Tungsten has a 400MHZ Xscale processor. If you wanna game on a Palm you need a good CPU. Because that is all that is ever gonna count.
OH yah, I heard you can download GBA games for your palm or PDA. Not sure where though.
WOW, and I have the same PDA!
How did you do this? Tell me please!!!:eek:
Oh, wait, that would be horribly expensive with all the SD cards you would have to buy:(
I doubt each game is that big ;) That seems cool, how'd you function that if I may ask?
Awesome, playing Chrono Trigger :cool:
Looks like you turned your PDA into a Zodiac.
I have an ipaq 2215 but havent looked for any good emulators yet. could you pm me or e-mail me some details about them?
thanks
well heres the run down if you want to emulate on a pda (i believe emulators are legal just roms arnt, so this post should be within boundaries)
i dont know anything about palm based devices, only pocketpc
- if you want to play NES games, pocketNester is the best program and runs 100% on just about any pocketpc out there
- if you want to play SNES games you need some horsepower... it will run fine on most xscale/strongarm devices... WITHOUT SOUND.. if you want sound, you need an Intel PXA255 or higher cpu clocked at 472mhz (use an overclocker like xcpuscalar)
- The best and free SNES emulator is Morphgear
- GBA games also require alot of power, Morphgear plays GBA but its not free, PocketAdvnce is a free one
- FPSe is the only full speed Playstation emulator out there.... it runs most games pretty fast on a 400+mhz pxa255 cpu... however you need a HUGE flash/SD card to store the game ISO
What are the specs on that thing and how much did it cost?
the one in that picture is a toshiba e355... it has a intel xscale pxa255 300mhz (overclocked to 500mhz) and 64mb of ram + i have a 512mb SD storage card for games and mp3s.... it goes for about $200Quote:

People overclock PDA's? What are the risks involved? Any heat related problems or any other issues with doing so?Quote:

they dont run hot enough (barely any voltage) to get damaged.. if you overclock it too high, it will simply just shutdown/etc.... just reset and start overQuote:

From what Iv seen at the Morphgear boards in the last couple of days you don't have to worry about heat or a self destruct because of the low voltage of the PDA processor. Overclocking drains your battery and cpu life though and the quality is dependent on a good cpu batch just like your desktop PC.Quote:

So how much is a PDA with a stock 500mhz+ cpu?Quote:

ROFL overclocking PDA's, why am I not surprised someone from Sharky did that. Reminds me of tim the toolman taylor.
no such thing yet.... fastest on the market is the intex xscale pxa255/261/263 400mhz.. but they are all pretty much guaranted to hit at least 100mhz overclockQuote:

the thing is, just like amds and intels.... clock speed isnt everything.. an xscale pxa250 400mhz is no faster than a 200mhz strongarm.. howver a pxa255/261/263 is about twice as fast... and the samsung 206mhz cpu is faster than a 300mhz pxa255
the absolute FASTEST and best for gaming pda is the asus a620 which goes for about $300 at places like proportable.com or mwave
They don't make em stock that high yet. 400mhz = 400bucsQuote:

LOL. Not again.:D I'll leave the Q@A to kpxgq this morning.
So I have my own qustion then. A PDA, Palm Pilot, and Pocket PC are are the same thing anymore correct?
Oh no. Not 300 dollars. That's doable. Now I'll be on the web for the next 3 hours.
You guys do realize what's next? We've gone from buying desktop PC's to laptop's to PDA's. Soon we'll be buying the latest chip to plug into our multimedia glasses and then a chip to plug into our brain.
lol.... back before when sharkyforums was on vbb, i remember when two poeple made a post at the same time.. it would reset their post count to 0 :oQuote:

I think PDA refers to any handheld device that helps people keep organized (as per pocket/portable digital assistant)... if you goto toys r us... they have those $20 kids devices that are called PDAs... I think the latest Palms and Pocket PCs are starting to grow out of the organizer mode (I mean no one needs 400mhz, windows media player, and playstation to be organized)... hence you always hear "PocketPC" or "Palm" now instead of PDA...
Im actually tring to get the Dell Axim x3i wifi right now.. its going for $297 on dell.com (theres that HUGE BANNER at the top of the screen right here)... its got 400mhz pxa263, crapload of ram, and built in wifi
Too bad about the button setup on the Dell. All the rest of the features are awesome of course but the button setup on the Asus looks more compatable to EMU.Quote:

FYI: Check around and see if the Dells are compatable with Morphgear. I don't know if this guy over at the Morphgear boards knows what he's doing or not, but he's having problems running the program on an Axium X5.
Are games really playable with the PDA buttons as the control pad?
yes.. you can map the buttons... also most emulators have an option where it draws a controller on the screen and you can use it as a touch pad gamepadQuote:

I could just imagine playing Super Metroid with that X_XQuote:

I am sure it's "usable", but I mean I prefer a real control pad to play my games, not something retro-fited from a PDA.
Maybe that is why the Tapwave is so interesting.
kewl, ill have to pick up a SD card...I have an e310 BTW:)
Zelda on my PDA...mmmm....
I have got a 2215 w/ a PXA255 Xscale Proc this stuff should fly on my PDA.
Depends, check this out:Quote:

You should be ok though. That's a nice PPC you have.
Say kpxgq, how do MAME games play? 100%? Or does it matter how old they are?
