I have been using CloudPilot [1] to play a bunch of retro Palm games on iOS. It works reasonably well. Hopefully a native emulator will be released now allows emulators.

A MiniGolf game for Palm OS

Re: A MiniGolf game for Palm OS
#12This is beautiful! And now I'm nostalgic for my IIIxe. Through the rose colored glasses of poor remembrance, that might've been peek productivity in a handheld. It had enough functionality to remember all the things I cared to have on my person at all times, but was utterly lacking in notifications about distractions. It took me a while to quiet my iPhone so that it's not always pestering the hell out of me, but Palm was opt-in. If you didn't tell it to tell you about something, it kept its mouth shut.
I wouldn't actually go back if I could, but part of me misses that.

#14It would be really cool if someone wrote something like WINE to allow running PalmOS applications on Android.

It would have similar problems to WINE, without nearly as many developers who understand the bug compatibility required. One project (pumpkinos) tried but there are many apps that don’t work in it. Emulation is easier. And accurate. Source: I believe at this point I am the highest authority left on PalmOS

#17I love this and love the art design especially. Great job! The only thing I would change persoanlly is that i think it feels more natural to go in thge opposite direction with the mouse when you're aiming. Many mini golf games on Miniclip used to do it that way. Also if you're a fan of FOSS games i recommend Neverball and Neverput which is a 3d golf similator with nice graphics
Original Palm was using stylus so you don't obscure where you are aiming compared to finger touch phones and having more space in the direction of shot could be the factors.

#19The post suggests getting a real device. Where the heck do you get a real device these days? Is there some retro hardware out there? An open source project where you send out a PCB order to Shenzhen?
Re: A MiniGolf game for Palm OS
#20I am not very familiar with Palm OS, but I do like the idea of a smart device that isn’t a full on smartphone. Something like the old Palm devices or the Pocket PCs from 25 years ago. Is there such a thing today? What gets closest?
