is there a way of converting prc files to exe. files?

Anything that uses the ARM CPU won't.
(includes Doom, Quake, Duke, LJP, HExen, Heretic, PalmPDF, etc.)

Why not?

As the simulator doesn't emulate the ARM processor, instead you would need to recompile the ARM stuff into an i386 binary. Something, which doesn't always work...

Or maybe they are thinking about porting this apps to pocket pc enviroment... you know... pocket pc executables are exe too...

And then there is StyleTap, which BTW doesn't work very well with ARM stuff too.

Hahaha...  you're right... my dad was a palm os user... then when he switches to his axim x50v he misses some of his palm os apps (act, and others)... well... he's using styletap... but sometimes he has problems with it... |

Well, that answers some questions and perhaps quells any thoughts I might have had about switching over and running everything with StyleTap. Even though some of those "other" PDAs may have better hardware, their inability to run ALL palm os5 apps will keep me rooted with devices that run Palm OS natively. I imagine there would be speed losses, as well as the incompatibility issues.
The only other thing that has me thinking of those devices is their USB host ability...

Is there an emulator that does emulate the ARM cpu? Perhaps a dll could be written for palmsim that does this. It would be called in the event that no .dll for the pno that was called is available. It would probably be tough though.I imagine mid to high-end computers would power through the overhead of emulation easily. They have plenty of memory and cpu cycles.
All though the PocketPC program has the .EXE extension it is ARM code. It is EXEcutable on the PocketPC, not the desktop

No, no, no. PalmSource has one but it's closed still.
Why do you want it? If you want any Palm software to run in your PC, for sure there's one that does the same thing and better. If you want to develop then you can use the compile to x86 feature, or the device debugger.
