EDIT: Thanks to the maemo community for coming up with a solid port of x48 posted on page 3: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=26 ! ! !

Hi guys, seems like all the HP48 (HP48G / HP-48GX / HP48S / HP48SX, etc) threads are scattered around this forum or mixed in with the Ti emulator threads. Lets get some discussion and teamwork going to find a viable HP-48 emulator on Maemo. There is a x48 port floating out there, but it's way too slow and in landscape mode ( http://sense.net/zc/x48/ and the deb http://yannbng.free.fr/Maemo/x48_0.4.3_armel.deb ). After some searching, I was able to find a Palm HP-48G emulator that could run under Garnet VM. I tried to get it running under the latest Garnet VM ( http://misc.nicejewel.com/garnet-vm_1.0.2b_ITOS2008.deb) with no luck. The app runs fine, but after I install the rom dump, Power48 crashes upon startup. Here is the emulator:

(grab the hp-48g rom here: http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/pc/emulators/gxrom-r.zip )

Here is an older version that does not run under palm:

http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/pc/emulat...8-1.0-os41.zip Anyone know what the company ID and device ID of an older palm to trick this older version into running?


I also tried installing the HP49G rom with the same crash on startup result. Any Garnet wizards out there want to give this a try? I played with all the settings and couldn't find a solution.


Besides Power48 and x48, I have tried two dos emulators under DosBox with no luck: Emu48 and Emul48w.

The TI guys are leaving us in the dust when it comes to emulation on NITs. It's a shame because the HP is superior to the TI in many many ways.
