Palm OS Emulator v3.2

posted in Emulator Release by outsider on Aug 31st, 2001

The Palm OS emulator for Windows, Unix and Macintosh has been updated to version 3.2. Here's the following changes:
  • (Unix) Support psf, ram, rom, device, load_apps, and run_app command line options. [David A. Jablonski]
  • Rewrote LCD-handling code to share a lot of cross-platform code. The major user visible effect of this is that the Unix version now has the white 2-pixel border around it when emulating a device with an SED 1375 or 1376 display, and that the updating on Unix will be faster (especially over a network).
  • Rewrote a lot of the EmDevice routines in order to be more table- driven. Also added ability to configure the CPU object created, and the minimum RAM size that can be configured.
  • Added Visor Edge support. [James Phillips]
  • Rewrote the menu-handling code to share a lot of cross-platform code. Along the way, cleaned up some host-specific aspects of menu handling.
  • Sped up the checking for direct access to UI Mgr data structures. The overhead for this option should now be imperceptible.
  • Allow read/write access to font fields in ControlType, ListType, and FormLabelType. [Many]
  • Allow read access to FormType::menuRscId field. [Markus Schmid]
  • Allow complete access to gadgets (since gadget callback functions are given just a pointer to the gadget, but not the Form through which they could make access calls). [Ben Combee]
  • Allow read/write access to "attr" for FormBitmapType before Palm OS 3.2 -- FrmHideObject didn't change the usable bit before then. [Steve Achelis] Check out the included _News file for the complete list of the changes.
