Pda-like Softwares

[khephren]

I guess as the AtariST was a home computer, it might have some programs to cover PDA functions. They will generally be the same res as the GP32, unlike the GB stuff. Don't know which software that would be, I upgraded to an Amiga fairly early. you'd have to make sure they run in low res though (a lot did).

Look what I found for... Gameboy (not even GBA) :

Maybe I will have to use a gameboy emulator to get such software :-(.

​

WOW I never thought they made this for a GB ! sooo great
I would love the same kind of soft for GP32 .... in better of course

​

Didn't they make some sort of organiser software on the original monochrome game boy? I don't think it got a widespread release but I remember reading a review on it and another program by the same company years ago in GB Action. I wish I could remember what it was called.

​

Hmm... I like the Dialer, I could do some Funky stuff with that...

DaveC: A clock wouldn't be needed for a Calender/Diary/Planner would it. As it could just remember the last date you looked at.

But how would the gp remember that?

​

It will open up with the day it displayed when it was used the last time, so you have to close the gap between this manually by setting the day
(no problem if you use the soft every once in a while, then you just have to adjust by a few days) - at least thats how I think it should work

Hooka:

pea: Check out darkfader.net for the clock mod

Maybe I'm not looking right, but I have found (right at the bottom) an RTC section with an fxe that runs a clock on the GP32, and some references to a 'backup battery' which look promising, as that is what the clock needs - but there are no actual instructions or images etc to mod the GP32 with a clock

I never used an AtariST (I'm a long time Amiga user and still am ;-)). But I tryed to play around with the Atarist emulator, now I'm looking for usefull softwares, but I don't know any names :-(.

Too bad people prefere working on hombrew games instead of homebrew saoftwares for GP32 ;-).

Darkfader did it. He said that there was no way yet of doing it without having the cpu drain your RTC battery when the power is off.

Edited to add quote.

I read that bit, but didn't see any schematics, or pics, or instructions or anything. Of course there is a way...
maybe you can put a diode in to stop current in reverse direction...
or you could add a transistor to only allow current when power is on...
I've done a little elctronics for my degree (though rusty) but maybe someone like Rob Brown (cobbleware) could do it no probs

You actually need to disconnect the pin on the CPU leading to C8.

 

[rabbits with hats]

I don't think i would use my gp32 for anything but gaming. That is why i got it, and that is what it is best at.

When I say:

It means:

I have read all that there is on the website about the clock mod, and have read the bit that says to disconnect the CPU pin c8 - but I have not seen any instructions for how to build the clock mod in the first place. It just seems to say "I made a clock mod. This is the fxe I used to test it. By the way, don't use it because it drains the clock battery when you switch the CPU off" - but never has the instructions on how to put it together in the first place.

Unless I just can't find them

Disconnecting the pin leading to C8 is the clock mod. It somehow constantly keeps power going to the RTC.
