Snails on HP Jornada 525

by **tugfsrghd** » Jan 25, 2002 @ 6:59pm

Hello,
I have an HP Joranda and Snails has such a bad graphic on it, I wonder if the Commodore 64-PC has a better one! Is that normal?

I thought the snails demo looks great on the 525. This game is a masterpiece. Admittedly, I have not tried the new demo or full version yet, but I will tonight. I hope it looks as good as the demo I have . . .

I've just found a problem in the SH3 demo version, which renders the game unusable on HP525 devices. It does not effect the full version.

A NEW SH3 DEMO WITH FIX IS NOW AVAILABLE!

That would be great! But I didn't find the new Demo! Could you post me the link? The one I downloaded was <a href="http://ce.syntact.fi/snails/download.html">there</a> had the bad grafic!

Yeah, it works!!!
What a nice grafic!! You'll get one more buyer! I think I tryed it yesterday a few moments before you fixed the demo! One more question: How long does it take to load?? I'm wating almost 5 minutes! Thx

to load a level? It's pretty quick on the Casio - just a couple seconds. I can't imagine the Jornada would be that much slower. There must be something else wrong.

Since Peter actually HAS a Jornada 525, it should be pretty easy to figure out.

Yes, I meant to load a level. Now I found out, that the problem was my free memory! It was under 8 MB. With only 16 MB altogether it's pretty hard to keep 8 MB free! Congratulations to the developers, the game is great! Thank you for the answers!

"The best way is to buy a CF card. You can find 8 MB ones for as low as 10 bucks, so it should not be a problem."

Is there anyway to use CF memory as program memory though and not just storage? I have a 128 meg CF card, but under settings>memory I still only see the 16 megs of main memory to allocate to program memory.
I see the CF card under Storage Card of course, but that's just a free space meter.

As it was said, it's quite hard to keep 8 megs of rom free. I'm only running WinCE & Dashboard on ROM, and it still takes up 4.27 megs of the 16. Add another meg or two to that thanks to the annoying allocation slider.

I love snails by the way, thanks for supporting the 525! I'm amazed at how quickly and smoothly it runs, and it looks wonderful. Keep up the great work.

Hmm, I just removed all the other programs from the internal ram and I am going to install them on the storage card. Now I have 9 Mb free! Snails works great!

One more question:
If I buy the game now, can I than download updates for free?
