It is basically a curates set of Amiga games, or as the creators say "consolised" Amiga. I'd originally set it up on my mister fpga and it is as close to zero setup on that as possible. Pc version was easy too.
Anyway, not exactly related to this, but just a personal coincidence.

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.

Check https://palmdb.net and if anything you have isn't already accounted for, submit copies.

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)

Yeah Aaron is a PalmOS legend.
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;)

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.

Thankfully lemmings is much safer to port and have fun with, and is exceptionally thoroughly documented and preserved
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.

Palm OS, not PalmOS.
Let's not forget nor confuse history.

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.

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

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.
