Version 2beta performs very well and provides a reliable installation of jfile database version 5. As I was unable to find a quick application for converting csv files into databases, I was very pleased with the results and the display of both new versions. Bouquets all around. J2u

Anyone have any idea or info about what will be next for the Garnet VM, as this beta is supposed to expire at the end of this month?
Edit: Guess I posted a few days too early since Beta 3 is out now.

Hi--how do you create more than one GVM installation on your machine?
I still can't get my device to sync to my Mac via Missing Sync, but I've gotten some ideas from several forum members and now know how to manually enter a Hotsync ID and Device ID for the Garnet VM. However, it looks like I'll have to reflash my GVM again unless I can find out how to just create new GVM's. Like burmashave, I'll probably need at least four installations!

I am still working out how to get the GVM to work well on my Nokia N810. I'm transitioning from my Palm TX and have bumped into the 64 MB limit. My medical programs (Skyscape, Unbound Medicine, Epocrates) alone will take up one whole GVM! I also have many DRM'd ebooks that I'd like to read. (For the others: thank goodness for FBreader! However, it looks like I'll have to give up several of my Tomeraider 3 titles until ACCESS comes out with VFS capability with a new version of GVM).
My experience seems to be **much worse** that most posted so far. I created a new GVM installation and installed about 60 Mb of applications and data that had been on a previous installation. It worked O.K. at first. Then, I tried to change the font size within MyBible, and GVM crashed--destroying the entire installation (wiping the gvm.store file). That's much worse than anything I experienced with the previous beta. (I had used the same font size function at least 100 times using the previous beta.)
I have a few other thoughts:
1) Access has not increased the 64 Mb image limit. Currently, I have created 4 separate launchable GVM's so that I can install just some of the software and data that I had working on my T3. This is a pain because I have to stop one GVM and launch another to use some applications.
The behavior of the GVM makes me guess that Access may not increase this limit unless it can vastly speed up launch times. Startup times are fast for installations with smaller footprints (< 15 Mb); however, the GVM still starts very slowly (approx. 30 seconds) for installations with gvm.store files in the 55+ Mb range. I would guess that Access may be setting a 64 Mb upper limit because larger installations would be painfully slow in starting.
2) As far as I know, Access uses a proprietary format for the storage file (gvm.store). In my opinion, it would be a **vast improvement** to move to a open format, such as a vfat image file mounted as a loopback device. Doing so would allow users to directly edit the storage file. In my case, this would speed up installation of applications and data, and it would allow me to install non pdb/prc files without syncing. Note that the external storage cards on Palms are currently formatted as vfat.
3) I wonder if launch times could be drastically reduced by selecting a default application to be launched and then caching that information/image on exit.
I still can't get my device to sync to my Mac via Missing Sync, but I've gotten some ideas from several forum members and now know how to manually enter a Hotsync ID and Device ID for the Garnet VM. However, it looks like I'll have to reflash my GVM again unless I can find out how to just create new GVM's. Like burmashave, I'll probably need at least four installations!

Could someone please tell me what OS Version this is equivalent to in terms of a Palm OS?
Like I have something that requires a "Minimum OS Version: 3.0". Will this work?
Thanks!

As far as I understand, the Garnet VM emulates Palm OS 5.x, so your program that requires Palm OS 3.0 minimum should have no problem.
If you wish, in the configuration dialogue, you can choose a device model for each installed Palm app--you have your choice of:
1. Treo 650
2. Tungsten T3
3. Tungsten T5
4. Palm T|X
5. Custom
For the Custom choice, you get to input a Company ID and Device ID. Here is a link to a table where I think you can find the right codes.
http://homepage.mac.com/alvinmok/palm/codenames.html
As far as I can tell, you only need to specify the Device Model IF your application has trouble launching. Otherwise, choosing "default" for the Device Model should be fine. All of the other choices (other than Custom) are Palm OS 5.x devices.
As an aside: Changing the Device Model with the configuration dialogue will NOT change the Device ID that your computer sees during a Hotsync. There are other posts on this forum for manually changing that information in the gvm.store using Terminal.

Well, I've found the answer to my previous post about how to create multiple GVM installations on the NIT--I just needed to try using the forum tools a bit more extensively.
I found burmashave's instructions (Thanks, burmashave!) here:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=135714
What I don't yet understand is where all the code is supposed to go. As a newbie, I presume I should input this all into Terminal, but I also wonder about how to create Scripts (for repeated commands). I haven't found out the instructions for doing this in the Maemo Wiki.

Thanks for the response, Palmleavr!
I'm going to try and spend as much time this weekend installing all of the awesome medical junk bunanson has posted about in his many threads.
I still have yet to figure out how to hot sync but I'm feeling a little lucky this time around.
Cheers.

Addison,
These are my quick instructions for hot sync:
HOTSYNC NAME
To install (and continue to use) any paid for application under GVM, the HotSync name must be established in GVM.
Name: yourname
SETTING HOTSYNC NAME
If the hotsync name needs to be set, we need to sync one time with the Palm Desktop app in Windows:
1. Open Palm Desktop in Windows
2. Select Hotsysnc/Custom dropdown menu
3. Edit every line that does not say ‘Do Nothing’ to ‘do nothing‘ except rtime.dll which is left as desktop overwrites handheld.
4. Open GVM on N810
5. Select HotSync button near bottom right corner
6. Enter (or confirm) I.P. address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
7. Start HotSync
8. When complete, confirm HotSync name as follows.
CONFIRMING HOTSYNC NAME
I use aClock, open it and go to Options/Register …
You should see
HotSync Name:
yourname
In any case, you should be able to go on frome here to install whatever you need.

Thanks for the response, dfinch!
Because of your post I made it all the way through step one without a hitch! *lol*
Okay, with step 2. I'm not seeing "Hotsysnc/Custom drop down menu". However, there is a "Launch Hotsync Manager" to click.
Step 2.5 should be to click on "Show details", I think. Right about now I'm already half way lost.
Step 3 makes me feel like I'm on the wrong journey here. There's no rtime.dll anywhere.
Now, I can Hotsync, and it says if it worked or I get an error of some kind. If it did work though it doesn't show the icon, so I click out of Garnet VM and restart and I see it installed. Well, then I click to launch it and I get errors and the launch icon disappears like with the "5 minute clinical diagnosis" bunason suggested.
Most of the time, like with trying to install Merck Medical Manual, it says that it installed correctly but I never see anything on screen.
What's most frustrating is all of this junk that I have yet to see work keeps piling on top of each other. I've tried removing them from the "Install Tool", even went as far as deleting them from my computer desktop, but every time I Hotsync now, I get this world of crud, that never works, constantly downloading on the tablet and oh dear lord I am too stupid to live!
I even went so far as to delete Palm Desktop and Garnet VM, reinstalled, only to face the horror that it somehow remembered me and still wants to keep trying to install that excessive crud that I can't shake off.
I'm honestly beginning to think that this is too far beyond me to ever understand.
Anyway, thanks again for the post dfinch, it proved worthless! *lol*
