System info always on my monitor side!

Hi,

It is not a case modding . It is just trying to make use a collecting dust palmos device.



Now I can always see my system information even when I am playing a game .

Hi Chris,

This is the lcd smartie config code:
--------------------

It using ATITool plugin for displaying GPU temperature and core speed.
As you can see, the palm emulate display for 8x20, which is actually split version of 4x40. I hope the LCD-smartie author add screen config to feed 4x60 or 4x96 (and I can mod palmorb to display 12x20 or 16x24).

I also edit the bitmap, so it will display the degree symbol instead of yen symbol.

Have fun with it .

Arto.

ah.. palmorb. nice!

how did you get that config for the lcd in palmorb, tho? the only res i've ever been able to get is like 3x10. i've never found a config option...
oh yeah, i've tried the experimental build too, but thats a huge res. i can't figure out how to make a custom one.

oh yeah, nice clie too! i've been looking for something like that for awhile, just for multimedia stuff (the 300x300 screen on my zire72 isn't really cutting it) but i can't find many any more. thats a real nice pda.

Thanks!

The latest version available on palmorb website is only support 4x20 screen. The experimental build have 8x20 screen (actually it is 4x40 screen, it is split into 2x(4x20) screen) and another one is 16x26 screen (if I recall correctly). But, experimental build is not working on my sony nx70v. Only the latest version is working with my sony nx70v (via USB).

So I decide to mod it with my little knowledge of programming language. And, now I have 8x20 screen working on my palm . I decide not to mod 16x26 screen (actually I like it very much, since I want to view all system statistic on one screen) because lcd-smartie, feeder for palmorb (or any lcd/vfd) is not (yet) support that resolution. I hope in the future lcd-smartie support 16x26 screen.

Oh, and that (discontinued product) palm clie just revive few days ago after idling in my drawer for about 2 years. I am now using micro$oft pocketpc .
