emu48 on pocket pc Message #1 Posted by axel on 22 Nov 2002, 10:21 a.m. Has somebody in this forum any experience in running the WindowsCE-version of the Emu48 emulator?(http://nt.marin.esc.edu.ar/jpla/emu48ce/emu48ce.html) I am going to buy an PDA (preferably HP Jornada 565) but would be sure the emulator runs safely. Thanks for any advise, Axel.

Re: emu48 on pocket pc Message #4 Posted by Chris Randle (UK) on 24 Nov 2002, 7:13 a.m., in response to message #3 by axel I'm using it on a J568. It works a treat, if only to remind you why we still need calculators. The lack of tactile feedback and the smaller (calc) screen made the experience far less satisfying that I had been expecting. The one thing I never got working was plug in RAM cards using files on the PocketPC.

But if you have your pocket PC anyway its a nice application to have on it. This happens with all those gadgets: mobile phone + game boy + camera + gps etc, they try to put it all in one little casket, and nothing really works great because its nearly impossible to use one user interface for all apps - I doubt if this will be the future. But - may be, that's what the mainstream wants (?) So long axel (Germany)
