WebOS Support

For support on one of my WebOS applications, please:

  • Check the wiki first
  • Check the official forum thread and post if you have a question. This way your problems are something others can see (and knowledgeable users can help when I’m not available), and of course I’ll answer it as soon as I can
  • If the above doesn’t work, or your issue is something private, email me at: webos@wdtz.org

    VisualBoyAdvance

    PDK Hot Apps Winner Badge
    This is a port of the popular gameboy/advance emulator for the PC, brought to the Palm Pre. It can play many (all?) gameboy and gameboy color games, and plays GBA games with frameskip+nosound. See the wiki for current features (including revamped rendering, arm-optimized emulation core, customizable themes, and more), compatibility list, and more.
    Mentioned on news sites such as Engadget and Gizmodo

    SuperNES

    PDK Hot Apps Winner Badge
    Port of Snes9x based on work done by DrNokSnes and in turn DrPocketSnes, and many others. This is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) Emulator, and plays most games rather well. Check the wiki for the latest features and updates.

    X11 on the Pre

    We now have a working X11/Xorg on the Palm Pre! Based on the kdrive ddx’s xSDL, and runs within a card on the device!
    With a working Xorg server, we now are working on bringing the large number of applications to the palm pre, and already have a working xterm, with more complicated applications like pidgin on the way.
    Lucky enough to be published on news sites: Engadget and Gizmodo.

    Quake

    Ported ID software’s classic Quake to the Palm Pre.
    This was done using CodeSourcery’s ARM cross-compiling toolchain, and with the help of the WebOS-Internals community. The port was from sdlquake.
    The wiki has the latest information and screenshots, take a look.
    Mentioned on news sites such as Slashdot and Engadget.
    Note the youtube videos there are with the BETA build. Hopefully someone will upload a video of the recent build soon :) .
