About the historyOn this page, newest first: - Phoinix v.1.2.2 - Phoinix v.1.2.1 - Phoinix v.1.2 - Phoinix v.1.1VFS - Phoinix v.1.1 - Phoinix v.1.0 - PalmBoy Phoinix v.1.2.2 (April 2004):On OS5 devices the 5-way-navigator works as direction control. This is just a quick-n-dirty hack, and its mapping can't be changed. Another small bug in the memory card support is fixed: bad filenames stopped the build of the list of games. Now those cases are reported and the files are deleted. Phoinix v.1.2.1 (March 2004):Two problems are addressed with this intermediate version:
Phoinix v.1.2 (April 2003):This is a maintenance update to v.1.1VFS, I have just smoothed some quirks. Additionally HJ's ideas about the user interface clean-up are included. Phoinix v.1.1VFS (May 2002):Because of my faux pas this version made it into the starter kit. It was not planned, but since it works well, it's now an official release version. Yes, it has some minor quirks when you install games via install tools or card managers. (Work-around: install games on-board and move them with Phoinix.) The only difference to v.1.1 is the VFS support. "VFS" stands for Virtual File System, an extension of the PalmOS introduced with OS4; it may be available as a separate library on earlier versions, too. With VFS there is a common way to access several kinds of external media like memory cards. Phoinix v.1.1 (March 2002):This version is just a bug fix. Under rare circumstances (launch Phoinix with saved state and low memory) the device needed a reset and lost the saved state. The Portuguese and Italian translations were added. Netherlands, Spanish, and French translations are in preparation, too. Phoinix v.1.0 (January 2002):Phoinix introduces these new features compared with PalmBoy v.3.3b:
Unfortunately PalmBoy's format of the games' databases is not suitable for some new features. So you have to convert the cartridges again with the new converter for Phoinix. Some next version of Freedom will change the format from PalmBoy's to Phoinix'. Additionally read about the thoughts on what to implement, please... PalmBoy (March 2000 - July 2001):
