-- I sent this to the news sites too
OKay, this is a little pre-emptive, but I'm just so excited. After much
work, I've ported an Atari ST emulator to Palm OS (from the GP32 handheld,
if you're curious). It'll be a little while before I release it to the
public (not too long, fear not -- a week or two maybe), but its shaping up
very nicely. I thought I'd put out a teaser screenshot of the very first
working version (its ugly, but it works!).

It requires a pretty beafy Palm OS unit like the Tungsten T|T3. More specs
later, and more screenshots ;)
The message board is here:

If you'd like to alpha test, let me know. For Palm units, it'd have to be
a T|T3 or maybe a T|C; Sony units.. not sure.. perhaps the NX/NZ will be
okay.. the limit is RAM; you'll need about 10MB of heap runtime RAM before
this will run, though I'll be trimming that down soon!
Formal web page will be up soon.
And yes, its open source freeware for all to enjoy.
