As some of you have posted successful story of running Metal Slug on your palm pda. I just wonder how fast is your processor and how much free RAM you had at that time.
I have a Garmin iQue3600 which has a 200MHz ARM processor, with about 12MB free RAM. With UDMH installed, I haven't had luck running Metal Slug using LJP yet. Had anyone had any luck running Metal Slug on Garmin?

...I don't think there's Metal Slug for any of the consoles LJP emulates  Who posted successful stories of running Metal Slug on a Palm device? Do you have a link? |

Metal Slug runs in PalmMAME. Perhaps the original poster has confused the emulator?
At any rate you will need around 32M free in dynamic heap to run Metal Slug in PalmMAME. I don't think it could be done in anything other than a Zodiac and UDMH, although possibly the new Treos could do it if they have more memory available to UDMH.

It says "NGP"--that's NeoGeo Pocket.  NGP, in the state the emulator is now, needs a fast processor to run even nearly well, though. |

BTW: wasn't there a 16 MB limit in max allocatable memory blocks on PalmOS?

Yes there is unfortunately. The way around that was a tiny little memory manager that allocates out the memory in 8M chunks and monitors the memory for the giant NeoGeo games. It works well enough since it is only graphics memory that needs it, but it is slightly slower as it has to translate the pointers.
