Hi, I literally found an old SD card with files last modified from 2005 with a few palm games from then, would anyone find these useful for reverse engineering?

Dump them somewhere... the Internet Archive maybe? A lot of Palm stuff is bit rotting. We need it saved.

Interestingly he removed some of his clones (Mario brothers and others) on the request of Nintendo. Maybe his clones were too close to the real thing.
I really liked the palmos c libs, MemCopy and WinCopyBitmap just reads so much nicer than memcpy and memset.
Also UInt8 and UInt16:)
Those were fun times, when 16bit ints were enough for everyone (just kiding;)

Let me just get my Palm Pilot out so I can play...

There was also a version of Lemmings on the HP48 calculator: <https://www.hpcalc.org/details/530> (incidentally by the same author as Alpha Waves, a.k.a. Continuum)

This is awesome, I wish I had it for my Treo.
I love and miss PalmOS. My current iPhone I can’t wait to get rid of it. It’s half owned by other companies, phoning home in the background all the time, addictive. My Palm devices really felt like mine.

does anyone else encounter github failing to load dark theme on first load, but working fine after page reload?

Palm OS, not PalmOS.

And it is certainly never palmOS ;)

I never quite got into Lemmings (Worms was more my thing) but I love these pieces of software for limited hardware of the day such as Palm, Windows CE, or Newton.
Edit// Oh this guys profile is full of cool Palm OS stuff.

Aaron was/is quite the coder. I used to belong to a group he was in as well. Learned a lot. Also took it as a challenge to crack his palm programs :) and he learned techniques to thwart us lol.
Fun guy.

He sounds great! I love these characters that you find in programming. My niche is more Mac Os System 7 -OS 9 and Be OS but the same sort of people exist in those realms too.

aaron also did the Deity3D engine for palmos that was a FPS doom-like. I think the engine was later used for Master Thief 3D which was an incredible game for PalmOS.
