    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.

    Oh, wait, that would be horribly expensive with all the SD cards you would have to buy

    Awesome, playing Chrono Trigger

    Looks like you turned your PDA into a Zodiac.

    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

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

    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 over

    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.

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

    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 overclock

    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
