Title: Palm Demos
Post by: jeffimix on August 14, 2003, 12:57:37 AM: I'm wondering if there is any kind of 64K demo style groups/sites for the Palm... I have access to both my Palm Zire 71 (hi-res color) and an m105 (lo-res, grayscale)...

The palm really impressed me so I'm wondering how much it can do...

I figured there's a goodly number of people on this site who know about the demo scene so it might be well advised to ask here...

I personally am no programmer so if nothing exists I may have to learn =).

Maybe it'd be easier using Java and the KAWT. Also if your seriously thinking about coding for Palm in Java have a look at Jump & Pilla; they let you compile Java bytecode into assembly which speeds things up a lot.

AROS/m68k-pp
Flavour:Native
Status:Partly working (in an emulator), incomplete driver support
Maintained:Yes

This port is currently very raw. It does mostly work (running in an emulator, since nobody wants to risk trashing their expensive hardware just yet) but there is still a lot of work left. There is a graphics driver, but not any input ones. This port is not available for download at this time.

So no is doesn`t. Yet

Yep, it is the biggest demodatabase on the web and the best website on demos, for all platforms.

There is a new thing getting more and more attention, and that is demos on all sort of mobile stuff like nokia phones, pocket pc, gba, ...

Some of the stuff released on those platforms is really amazing. And you see some very famous groups returning to those platforms (CNCD, komplex, ...).

If you want to see some of this stuff, then there are gba emulators (for example Virtual gameboy on pc) and check out this gba demo: Phloam/Unique (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=9439)
