With thanks to midnight for pointing me towards this:

Completely re-written Liberty for ARM processors coming

Posted by: [meiam] on 04-12-2004 @ 04:54 PM  

Gambit Studios, the developer of the famous Liberty Palm OS GameBoy emulator, have announced they are currently working on a new ARM-native version of Liberty.

The new Liberty will rejoice the user with full speed, GameBoy Color emulation, and support for Hi-Res, as well as improved sound, support for memory cards, multiple save game states and full SRAM support.

Moreover, the revamped emulator will run not on Palm OS 5 only, but will also support Windows Mobile, Symbian and Windows Mobile for Smartphone.

Since this is a complete re-write of the main code, the emulator will be released as new product, but Gambit Studios is likely to provide a discount to existing Liberty owners. At the moment the company is working with its lawyers to address new legal requirements due to Nintendo’s patent for emulation announced recently. As soon as this is complete, they will be ready to release.

nice one! which means gameboy color games will work that bit faster :wink:

[Guest squall]

Sure will, however its likely to be sold, rather than be freeware.

yeah! figured that. just as long as i can play cannon fodder and puyo puyo at faster speeds :D and its under £10. not asking for much ;)

Support for memory cards?

I think for those that have upgraded its one that will be of no use at all!

It would help if the OS recognised the SD card in the first place!

i wish they'ed do the SNES one instead :roll: , as fast as they can, gameboy games are just too basic and i get bout 40 to 60 fps on nintendo games (mario, wario, etc) anyways.

[Guest agent.m]

Amen to that! :D

snes emu will always be hard - the custom hardware in that box REALLY rocks.

master system emu would be nice - similar (or less) spec than a NES/GBC - but a whole new arena of games - like sonic etc.

as for being sold - i LOVE the smartphone scene for that, nothing is ever very expensive. Shareaza hasnt been opened in months and i have loads of legal software. Hazaa.
