Taken care of with the old versions of UDMH

Program UDMH, of the brilliant Dimitry Grinberg, is hack that is able to use memory normal of the PDA to increase the dynamic memory available, necessary to execute great programs. It is necessary, for example, to play the Quake or the emulator of Super Nintendo. UDMH is a very stable program, still more considering that toquetea the operating system at very low levels.

UDMH obtains additional dynamic memory from the normal memory

But it is necessary to have well-taken care of with a detail: UDMH is a program that has been developing many years, and the old versions were thought logically to work in Palms with a older operating system. The consequence is that if we installed an old version of UDMH in our modern Palm (PalmOS 5) we can leave it completely unusable. This it is the email that I have received from a reader who had east problem:

[...] using the Doom, also installs the UMDH version 3 to increase the memory of the device and power to play it without problems and a day my Palm was congealed, appears to me the screen with the logo of Palm and a black bar in the part of above blinking, does not work any of the 8 reset q exist and already I abrí until it with a manual q lowers that way of Internet and it does not disconnect the battery to him, I do not work either, is equal.

In all the places q I have found service in Guadalajara to only suggest to change to him to the card mother me here q costs to me like 80 dollars but manpower, like 1000 pesos, seems to me something excessive since I only found out q it would be necessary to rewrite the ROM to him so that it works normally, although would lose my data, which worries to me is q the repair costs what a model like that used. [...]

It surprised to me to receive this email because I have happened through the same situation: I installed version 2.2 of UDMH in my Tungsten E2 at the time and the result was identical. In the end, I had to send it to repair to the technical service of Palm, which gave back it to me with a new plate. When being in guarantee the repair was gratuitous, but I was more of month and a half without being able to use it.

Conclusion: if you have a modern Palm (according to the page of Dimitry the recent versions of UDMH they work well in: Treo 600, Treo 650, Zire 31, Zire 71, Zire 72, T|AND, T|T, T|T2, T|T3, T|T5, iQue 3600, TG50, NX 80, and generally any thing with 5,4 PalmOS or superior) you unload and you use the most modern version of UDMH (of the 5 in future). Neither it is happened to you to install old versions the more (unless your Palm is the more old) if you do not want to be with an expensive tuna and posapapeles.
