Adventures graphics on your PDA
I am going to comment on an agenda that he knew long ago, but which I recently discovered version for Palm. This is ScummVM.
After that name so strange, hides an emulator that allows play charts the adventures of a few years ago, as the saga Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, etc..
The day of the Tentacle
He had already had an opportunity to try it on your PC, but I discovered that Chrilith this program has ported to the Palm platform, and that a few days ago launched a beta version for ARM processor and Palm 5, so I come from pearls to the Tungsten E2.
The truth is that the games are going very well, in addition to occupy very few megs on the SD card, so it costs nothing to take a lead installed vice occasionally.
It may be recalled that the program is the emulator, but you'll need the files of the original games to play, as with all emulators. Another day they speak of how to play other games, including console NES, SNES, Game Boy, etc., or even recreational arcade ...
Published: In this post is detailed the installation process of ScummVM and a game as an example.

It is truly incredible to run several games consoles such as Nes, Gb, Gba, superne, and even in certain devices Playstation… not?
Certainly. It turns the PDA into a portable console, with an infinite variety of games. Which leads to a second thought. Very good games are classics, which continue to gustando people year after year.
I took my time trying to rule on the PDA ScummVM but can not find the games .. I do not know either put the directory on the card, is .. Can someone I can mandar a mini-tutorial? I have a Sony Clie TH-55 with a MemoryStick 128. We appreciate what an egg and part of another!
Hello Cymmeria. In my Palm keep the games in the "Palm \ Programs \ ScummVM \ Games." For example, files a day of the Tentacle is in the "Palm \ Programs \ ScummVM \ Games \ Tentacle." Then add to the game within the ScummVM, write "Tentacles /" in the "path", and "Tentacle" in the "game" (I do not know if this is necessary). To find out which files need every game visit
