Description of PHEM: Palm Hardware Emulator

PHEM (the Palm Hardware Emulator M68k) emulates the hardware of many different models of Palm PDAs. It supports up to Palm OS 4.2 and runs thousands of Palm applications, utilities, games, and hacks.
***IMPORTANT!*** Like other hardware emulators, PHEM requires software in the form of a Palm OS ROM image to run.
Supports:
• Black and white, grayscale, 8-bit, and 16-bit color. It even supports the Handera 330's "High Res" grayscale screen!
• Sound and (for versions of the Palm OS that support it) vibration.
• Multiple different "sessions" emulating different Palms - multiple models, multiple versions of a single model, or both.
• Using your device's storage as a virtual expansion card.
• Network communication using your device's network connection (wifi or cellular), including network HotSync.
• Cutting and pasting text between the emulated Palm and your device.
• Hardware keyboards if present on your device.
• "Skin" files that precisely mimic the appearance of particular Palm devices.
• Most Palm "Hacks".
PHEM is based on the Palm OS Emulator, a development and debugging tool originally created by Greg Hewgill and later developed by Palm, Inc. Full source is available under the GNU Public License.
Notes on permissions used:
• "Access Fine Location" is used to pass GPS information to the emulated Palm, only when explicitly activated by the user.
• Network access is used to allow the emulated Palm to access network resources.
• Storage access is used to access ROMs, applications, and to emulate memory cards.

    Works for display and animations ok, sounds not so great. Crashes occasionally, much more than the original hardware did.

    I purchased this app a long time ago, but it is impressive.

    Could not find a suitable ROM image do could not use it. Will just have to keep the old TX chugging along as somehow

    It's old, has glitches, and you have to find your own rom file, but it does work

    PHEM works great. I can hardly tell the difference between this and my real palm devices (aside from the better screen on my phone). Performance is awesome and compatability is perfect aside from sensor issues.

    I've been looking for something like this for YEARS! I can finally revisit my old Palm only games from years ago
