Just stumbled upon this new beta of MoePaint: http://amulet.sakura.ne.jp/tha/palm/p.htm This is version 1.2b7 and was released on Aug 28th 2008. According to the changelog, there's a way to adjust scrolling and the app is more stable overall. Another change I've noticed so far is that there's a Smudge tool available now. Now the bad news... it expires after March 23rd 2009. Hope the author will finally let the app free for the retropalmer in all of us. Good sketching and drawing to all of you 'till then! __________________ REX 3 > REX 6000> m515 > Zire > Zire21 > Zire71 > Tungsten T3> Tungsten E2 \| NR70V/U > NX70V/U > NX80V/U > UX50 \| Handspring Visor Platinum

How did you find that out? I just tested it and the date is correct but why add an expire date to this app?

The app never calls any api that gets current date/time, and i just ran it with date set to 2010...where do you get these limits from people? __________________ Annoying me is NOT an approved way of encouraging me to produce software My software:PowerSDHC, PowerDrive, nuRom, UDMH, warpSpeed, PowerDiGi, brightnessFix, etc...

It doesn't happen in the palm simulator. It also has been noted that there is no API calls for the date.

Try on a real device with that date (if u weren't)? Also check the 1.2beta6 and see if that works on a device with that date.

I suppose you can save the view by taking a photograph or using a program that saves what is shown on the screen. Anyway Moe Paint is intended as a substitue for a Paint Program, and that serious painters use a photoshop program for serious art. __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.

philpalm Registered User Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Alhambra Posts: 1,196	Moe Paint is no longer useable, I looked for an update and didn't find one. I don't read Japanese but google does a fair enough translation when you put the address in search you will see a translation of the article... __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.

palmuse TXed in '06 Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Minnesota Posts: 217	Hey, great news! Now I don't need to keep it around just in case. And I just free'd up 1.4 M of RAM! It was a fun tool when it worked. I haven't used it in a while b/c of the withdrawal of features. I guess I still have my little tiles and memories. __________________ Palm TX (2006) >> all that really matters... :D ~ ok. maybe not... Here's to the good ol' days...
