Problem playing zdoom in Palm TX

[deathgod]

Hi, I have tried to load ZDoom both version 1.2 and 1.5 but i got the memory error and my Palm TX reboots. I have tried UDMH on as well but it doesnt help. thus i hope to find out does ZDoom runs on Palm TX? Thanks

UDMH doesn't help? Then you have no luck. I will test it on my TX in the next couple of days.

[deathgod]

thanks a lot

I have a TX and I use UDMH, I can play Zdoomz 1.5, but every other time i run it, my palm automatically resets, so its like run, crash, run, crash..

same thing happens on my T:E

tucker: look for something called DBCache Tool and use it to clear your DBCache after each game.

Hey I have a Palm TX and after many hours I finally got it to work with Zdoomz. Make sure you are using the 1.5 version (http://www.metaviewsoft.de/en/Software/PalmOS/Freeware/ZDoomZ/zdoomz.zip).

Then download UDMH (http://palmpowerups.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=2).
Once you hotsync add the ZDoomZ program to list and set it to 40000k.

Thats how i got mine to work! Good Luck!

I'm actually doing some tweaks to get it running without UDMH. I was already able to play the 1st level :-)

Ok, ZDoomZ does now run (without music) on my TX without the use of UDMH. 4MB free dynamic memory are enough. I've also fixed the Console stuff. Now I will wait for the patch for lowres, then I merge everything together and make a release of version 1.6

That means if you want to use music you need UDMH, or not?

Also, for frankk, I never told you, but I cannot launch ZDoomz in my Treo600 with music.

I know that, it is a timidity issue. I get instrument not found with every midi I try to play with timidity. The same happens in ZDoomZ.

No music on TX with or without UDMH. Needs to be fixed.

Ok... that's on TX... but in my case on a T5 what I do have to expect?

thanx for letting me know about DBcache tool. up until now i had to do a soft reset b4 using any of tha zxxx games.

[metaview]

wantan: the T5 has even less dynamic memory than the TX. You will probably have problems even without music... The version has still 2 problems, the console form crashes on frankk's Treo and when you die, your device needs a reset. Funny but I think, it needs to be fixed first, if possible :-)

This didn't happen with your previous fix for console ok+home problem

To me happens that often (not always) when I select "quit game" device resets, if I die and select "new game" I don't have any problem.

I'm agreed with frankk... you just have to press ok+home buttons to get rid of the console form... it never crashes any of my devices (T5/Treo600)

Yeah... that's really funny... when you get shot you're really dead... hehehehe ;D

There is already a fixed (fix is MetaView's work) version for this problem (on my site) but based yet on version 1.5

The crashes are related to the yet unreleased 1.6 version.

What's the URL of your site, frankk?

Edit:
Never mind, did a search and found it.
