after getting my Treo650, I was able to fix two old bugs and I think, the current version is no longer a beta. So here is the first release candidate.
Whats new since beta 6a:
- Added Load/Run button to file manager dialog to load and start first program on selected disk
- Preferences not longer stored as resources, now using the PalmOS PrefSetAppPreferences/PrefGetAppPreferences procedures.
With this change, preferences survive on devices like TX and TE2.
- 5 user defined commands to send to C64 assigned to shortcuts 1-5 (predefined with Directory, Load/Run and Softreset)
- Better handling of loading old snapshots without attached disk
- Fixed color display in "Buffered 256" mode on newer devices (i.e. Treo 650)
- @ from Treo keyboard displays correct character on C64 display
- Mapped Euro-key from German Treo keyboard to $
Hope you enjoy this release.

Thank you!! I am very happy that the project is still alive. The Load/Run button is very handy. It still won't run many games, such as Bruce Lee, Rescue on Fractalus, Winter Games-at least the d64s I got. Nevertheless, thank you for this great Palm app!

I have a first running version of FrodoSC (single cycle) with which, most of the games are running. But at this time, I have only 15% the original speed of the C64 on my Tungsten E (without sound). So games are working but not playable. I hope to find some ways to improve the performance to get at least 50% and can play with 25 fps.
Regards,
Tom

I want to say "thank you" for keeping this project alive. I love to play old c64-games on my Palm LifeDrive while going by train.
I specially like the user defined commands. :)
Best regards,
Peter.
