2 days, 2 nights is how long it took me to freaking figure this whole thing out....

First of, keyboard is definitely needed until this thing gets some sort of hildonizing done to it to add a drop down menu.
If you are like moi and cannot afford a bluetooth keyboard yet.
Synergy is the next best thing.
Its somewhere on maemo.org.

but I have a working PalmOS Emulator on my N800, for you guys who own a 770 just download the modified ROM&skins pack I up'ed, and that should work fine.
READ the readme files.

To get you started I'm providing all the Files needed, starting with the .debs

FLTK-1.1.7 POSE depends on this package.
Download and install from Xterminal with the command dpkg -i <debpack>

PalmOS Emulator
Download and install from Xterminal with the command dpkg -i <debpack>

ROMS&skins
In this pack you will find 2 folders.
The skins folder containing the m130 and the m505 modified skins.
The ROMS folder containing the m130 4.1 rom and the m505 4.0 rom.
Also README files in both folders.

Pictures of the skins of course.
m130
m505

m130 skin at work....

N800 users installing the .deb packs will provide and icon for POSE in the extras folder...and you life will be easy...

770 users start up pose with Pupniks compiled version of POSE from command line.

thats all I have.....be glad to answer questions.
As for feed back for features, wrong person to ask. Not good at all hildon or anything at that.


Edit:

The debs will install via the Application Manager now.

hardkeys are mapped....figure them out.......
The FULLSCREEN key is the most important, but we are not at fullscreen yet.
so right now its map to another important feature and thats right click.
VOLUME keys are for scrolling up and down.
ENTER is mapped to that center square key, I don't think I have to tell you how whats the keys around it are mapped to.
figure out the rest.


Eleminating the need for a keyboard is still not 100%.
on start up you will need to use a keyboard to right click which is the only time you will need it.

The links are all updated.

The skins are all update also, if you know how to use The GIMP, then I included some .xpf files.
Screw around with them, make your own skins for god sakes..

Great job. With the onscreen keyboard this will become a hit in Nokia-land.

I've just had a quick look at it - the FLTK deb. includes lots of header files (the /usr/include stuff), this won't be needed by the application. I would suggest repackaging it somewhat, and leave only the necessary runtime files. (I'm going to repack my copy of it before I install)

I have alot of work to do to it.....
I figured out keymapping...I have a working binary...but It has some issues.
right now i'm guessing my scratchbox is corrupt.
manage to set the fullscreen key as the right click for mouse. which elimates the use of a keyboard, not fully.
The next release will be a nice one.

Thanks, looks like a good start.

Was very lazy, So I just edited the first post...

excuse my ignorance... i've never touched a palm device....

what do they have over the nokia?

what could i do with this emulator?

cheers

Run shedloads of software that doens't run on the N*** series. For me that would be eReader's book reader for the DRM content I bought but can't read.

We've all been screwed over by eReader at one point or another . I got over it...
