Seeing as that even the weakest PDA (like mine) runs a 200Mhz processor and the RAM isnt half bad. Would it be possible to run a stripped down version of XP or '98 on a PDA. I got the idea when I came across a compact usb version of XP. that runs straight out the flashdrive. Handy for recovery,etc. How big a leap would it be to port it to a PDA?
Edit: It works via emulation (slowly),work under way on an embedded version,but to keep us occupied in the meanwhile there a '95 and a '98 roms you can run from the storage card. Check post 21 (or thereabout)for instructions and files.
Coming across some interesting devices out there, if anybody has any detailed info please let me know. Link is HERE
I'm afraid it would be very big leap, as PDA processor is not x86 compatible, someone has to port it or create an emulator for it. And then new driver will be needed for the touch screen.
your 200 mhz cpu is able to emulate 386 sx 16(well, almost..) , and thats all about that...
no win lol.
Have you tried a little program called eXPerience? it'll be on google under 'Digital eXPerience' gives an XP look to your ppc, taskbar icons wallpaper etc ;-)

That's kind of cool actually. You could run windows 3.1(1) on it.
Supposedly you can run Windows 95/98 on a pocket pc. I never really had a good reason to try it.

There is emulator Bochs. You can look pictures in serbian forum: http://www.elitesecurity.org/t302711-Bochs-Windows-SE-Aero-Interface-Vista

Could this be something??

I am not skilled enough to see through it - but it might be possible to do an XP on a PDA??

I think that the photos are only themes for windows mobile and you are able to put some shortcuts in pocketpc's "desktop" with wisbar advance desktop....
The start menu has been done with wisbar advance...
Nothing else...
Well - you might be right - or not. According to this: http://intimate.handhelds.org/screens.html you see and IPAQ running BOCHS - and it claims to be possible to run x86 OS...
I dont know if its true but I will try to digg deeper.
Lets seek the limits
Look at the picture....
It has been done with Wisbar Advance + Wisbar Advance Desktop......
Very Nice.....
Well, qemu is currently being ported to arm, and it's much faster than bochs, which is a bit outdated. It might not be very fast, but, who knows ?
Wait and see...

Možda ste na (Link) Windows Desktop forumu videli da sam se počeo baviti modifikacijama Windows-a. Razočaran, zbog toga što ne mogu da pokrenem Windows Vistu u rezoluciju 640x480, odlučio sam da modifikujem Windows 98SE da izgleda kao Vista. Rezultati su bili odlični i ubrzo je nastala Vista98. Detalji OS-a:
- Modifikovan Shell
- Modifikovan Kernel32.dll
- Boot Time : 8-10s (128MB Rama, 400MHz procesor, QEMU emulator)
- Izmenjen BootScreen

ok, so you launched win, and?
i did this >3 yrs ago and now, in 2008 there's STILL no point in doing this.
argue w/ me, if you think i am wrong.
realize, that HTC is killing ppc idea, not extending it.
realize this.
samsung cpus, omap cpus, rich small people.
Ok... nice... XP on Pocket
Well... all this work to see the splash screen on pocket? No, thanks Takes too much time to load and it´s unusable...
I installed Schap's advanced config tool
There is a setion that lets you adjust te system cache's
There is no help on this that I can find.
Right now they are all set to:
file system cache: enabled
file system cache size: auto
file system filter cache: disabled
glyph cache: 8KB
Are these OK or would different settings be better?
i have the same question, only not for a HTC titan, but for an HTC Kaiser
I guess this is a big mystery! No one knows...
Even Schap won't answer!
Same question for Touch Pro
I found these references, though neither was very helpful. I think we'll need to experiment to find out what is good (stable).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2833780
http://ppcgeeks.com/forum.ppcgeeks/showthread.php?t=17219&page=182
I upgraded(only ROM upgrade) to Schap's 4.31 WWE (Full edition) ROM and the performance of WM6 was pathetic without installing any extra applications. I thought thats becuase the ROM is fully loaded with all nice applications. Because i didnt need many of such applications i flashed Schap's 4.31 WWE (Lite Edition) ROM. On the LITE ROM i have installed ONLY the following applications:
1. JBED JAVA(Storage Card) : GMail and Opera Mini
2. HTC Diamond Keyboard(Device)
Still the performance is pathetic.
1. It takes a while to open up Messaging. 2. If Contacts are open, i can see the system crying and slowly comes up.
2. When someone calls it takes a while to show up on the screen though i start hearing the ringtone much earlier.
3. I press the call button and it takes atleast 3-4 seconds to respond, sometimes even more.
Memory Statistics(immediately after soft reset) as below:
Storage: Total = 63.48MB, In Use = 15.12, Free = 43.85
Program: Total = 50.77MB, In Use = 20.89, Free = 29.88
Physical Memory: Total = 50.77MB, In Use = 22.62, Free = 28.15
Virtual Memory: Total = 32MB, In Use = 5.81, Free = 26.19
Experts please advise. Are there any tweaks or is this with everybody after upgrading to WM6 and i should start living with it.
Install .net 3.5.
Not sure what version of .net you have (if any) but try this
1. Install NetCF3.5 on main memory
2. Open registry editor
3. Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework
4. Change the DWORD value of 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0
5. Change the DWORD value of 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1.
6. Reboot
It's a tweak for The PDAViet os 20226 3G.
Makes it REALLY quick.
If wm6 doesn't do anything for you, try 6.1, Its heaps faster...
Cheers...
I have no performance issues using wm6.1. Flash it or do some tweaks here (note the cache info)...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Performance tweaks

Here is what i did.
Flashed CRC v11.1 ROM WM6.1. Modified 6MB PP to 8MB PP.
I have installed quite a few softwares now all on Device:
1. JBED (GMail)
2. HTC Keyboard
3. Registry Editor
4. HTC Home
The device is stil very responsive.

...: REQUIREMENTS :...

Quadrant @ stock speed ---- Quadrant @ 1,5ghz
(click on the images for bigger size)
...: INSTRUCTIONS :...
Apart from the below instruction you can see also the COLOSSUS_R tutorial HERE
Download the build 7z file
Extract the whole "Android" folder in the root of your sd card. This means you have to extract not only the files inside the folder, but the folder itself!
If you are coming from a previous version and you want to keep your data and settings, dont overwrite the userdata.img file and keep your old one.
Create, inside the folder, a config.txt file based on your needs (see below for instructions). If you dont create one, the default values will be used. Anyway you can create it also on second or any next boot. Some users experienced boot issues with config.txt created with windows notepad. Try to use Notepad++ and select "Conver end line character" to UNIX in the "Edit" menu, before save.
When creating txt files, make sure your Windows is setted up to show extensions also for known files. Otherwise will happen that you will create files like "something.txt.txt" because you dont see the last .txt
If it will not boot after you follow the instructions, read post 3
FOR WINDOWS MOBILE BOOT:
First of all modify the config.txt file in your build folder, with wince=1 or you will be stuck at bootscreen.
Boot Windows Mobile, open file exploer, browse to your sd card and the android folder, tap on CLRCAD.exe (nothing will happen) then on HARET.EXE and wait the boot
First boot will take about 5-10 minutes depending on your sd card speed.
If you hear the bootsound more than one time, you have boot-loop.. something has gone wrong. Read again the instructions, check the md5/sha1 of downloaded file, start all again from scratch.
Once you see the unlock screen, dont touch your phone for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes, unlock the screen, do your setup.
When on the sense home screen, wait again 5 minutes without touching anything.
long press on the power button and shutdown the phone
Boot again
Again wait 5 minutes on the lock screen, then unlock it.
Go in settings -> audio -> and disable audible touch tones to avoid robo voice or phone freezes.
Enjoy.
If you want to change the build folder from "Android" to "Anythingelse" just open the startup.txt and add this line: set cmdline "rel_path=YourFolderName"
Folder name must not contains special charactes like . , ! | and so on...
FOR MAGDLR BOOT
Please note: If you want to change the build folder from "Android" to anything else just create a "rafdroid.txt" file on your sd root with the following text inside it: rel_path=YourFolderName
Folder name must not contains special charactes like . , ! | and so on...
Boot in MAGDLR powering on your phone while you press the power button until MAGDLR appears.
Select "SERVICES"
Select "BOOT SETTINGS"
Select "AD SD Dir"
Select the "ANDROID" folder or the folder where you dropped the rom.
Now select "BOOT AD SD" and wait boot
If you hear the bootsound more than one time, you have boot-loop.. something has gone wrong. Read again the instructions, check the md5/sha1 of downloaded file, start all again from scratch.
Once you see the unlock screen, dont touch your phone for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes, unlock the screen, do your setup.
When on the sense home screen, wait again 5 minutes without touching anything.
long press on the power button and shutdown the phone
Boot again
Again wait 5 minutes on the lock screen, then unlock it.
Go in settings -> audio -> and disable audible touch tones to avoid robo voice or phone freezes.
Enjoy.

...: CONFIG.TXT :...
A config.txt is included in the build folder. It has currently only the "wince=0" option, so you have to change it according to your needs.
Some users experienced boot issues if they create/modify the config.txt file using Windows Notepad. If you have the build not booting, try to use Notepad++ (google for it) and, before saving the file, goes in "Edit" menu, then select "Convert end-line carachter" and select "UNIX"
Also check the you are displaying file extensions. This because if you file extensions are hidden, you will create a config.txt.txt file that will not be read by the system and you will be stuck at boot.
Those are the options you can specify in the file:
gps_zone=[your country]
check http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ for country codes (example: it for italy, us for usa.. and so on...)
wince=[1 or 0]
1 to boot the build via windows mobile
0 to boot the build via magdlr
default is 0
if you try to boot via winmo or magdlr without setting properly this parameter, the build will not boot.
ppp_mode=[1 or 0]
1 to enable PPP
0 to enable RMNET.
Default is 0
If wince=1 default ppp_mode will be 1
old_light_driver=[1 or 0]
0 to use the new light driver (working notification leds, button backlight control)
1 to use the old light driver (no notifications leds, buttons will go off after 10 seconds)
default is 0
auto_btn_backlight=[1 or 0]
1 to have the buttons backlight going off/on with the screen
0 to have the buttons backlight going off after 10 seconds from when the last button is pressed
default is 1
this work only if old_light_driver=0
wifi_mac_change=[1 or 0]
1 tells the system that you will need to change the wifi mac address to a custom one
0 tells the system that you will use the wifi mac address based on device hardware
custom_wifi_mac=yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy
here you have to write the wifi mac address you want.
This is needed, and will work, only if you specify wifi_mac_change=1
If you not write any mac address here, the default 00:11:22:33:44:55 will be used
Just an example on how a file could look:
Code:
gps_zone=it
ppp_mode=0
wince=0
old_light_driver=0
auto_btn_backlight=1

...: TIPS :...
Robot voice - known issue - disable audible touch tones and no more robot voice.
On every boot an "init.log" is created under your Android folder. Post this file if you have boot loops or booting issues, this will help debug and to solve the issue.
I modified the whole android shutdown process to avoid any data corruption. Please always choose SHUTDOWN instead of REBOOT!!! In this way you wil never have data loss or corruption!!!! Also if in my instructions or somewhere you read "reboot your phone" always SHUTDOWN then power it up again!

...: DOWNLOADS :...
Please, if you respect my work, dont upload this file on any other mirror or host, always put the original link in any forum or web page where you are going to post it.
Since the new base, a fresh install is suggested (means dont use the old userdata.img)
You can try to install on old userdata.img just copying all files from the zip except the userdata.img but you can have bugs, issues and loose some functionalities of the new update.
To keep al the bugfixing a FRESH installation is suggested. If you experience any bug not reported in the first post, try a fresh install (new userdata.img) and see if it happens again.

My kernel is capable of Overclock up to 1.5Ghz. Anyway overlcock at you risk. I'm not responsible if you will blow your phone
You are free to use any kernel you want. Just make sure to put all the relevant system files (like modules) in the "root" folder structure under Android folder (look following post for instructions)
This build is tested to work properly with my kernel. I will not reply to any issue using other kernels.
You can find my kernel thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940823

...: AndroidApps installation instruction and filesystem installation instructions :...
If you want to automatically install any app during boot, you can create a folder "AndroidApps" under the Android folder and put the apk there. The apps will be installed during next boot. Please dont do this on first boot because some times can give issues. The folder will be automatically deleted after the apps are installed
If you want to change any system files, you can create a "root" folder under your Android folder. In this "root" folder you have to replicate the structure of the system folders. Example: you want to change the gps.conf file that is in the following path: /system/etc/gps.conf you have to create this folder structure: "root -> system -> etc" and in the last folder (etc) you have to put your modified gps.conf file.Durin boot it will be copied and the folder deleted. Use this method if you want to change kernel and you need to push the new modules.. in that case the folder structure will be "root -> system -> lib -> modules" and here all the modules files.

...: Updates :...
Download the zip update that you want to apply
extract the whole "update" and "root" folders in the "Android" folder. This means looking in the Android folder you will have two subfolders "root" and "update" (in some cases the "update" folder is not present in the zip... no needed)
boot the build

Check if this works with WP7 partitioned sd card
Do you have problems in booting?
check that your first partition is fat32
check that your fat partition and all other partitions (example the ones created by wp7) are primary partitions.
follow this tips, thanks to zarathustrax -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11688635&postcount=52
if nothing above works, consider to format your sd card with panasonic sd formatter, using "full erase" method. You can find the tool as attachment in the bottom of this post.
check that you have config.txt inside your build folder
check that you are editing/creating the config.txt with a unix compatible text editor like notepad++ (read the config.txt instruction in post 1 to understand how to use)
if you changed the build folder name (example: from Android to RafdroidSomething) make sure you have a "rafdroid.txt" file in your sd card root and in it you have a line rel_path="RafdroidSomething"
if still no luck, try to post your problem but dont forget to post:
- are you using wmo or magldr?
- how is your config.txt?
- did you keep the enclosed userdata.img or changed with your own?
- are you using the included kernel (zimage)?
- a "init.log" file inside the android folder is created? If yes, post it!
- did you copy the "whole" android folder, including the folder itself, on the root of sd card?
- did you changed the folder name?
More info you will provide, more possibility you have that i or someone else can give you the solution to your issues.

...: FAQ :...
q) Can you provide a mirror for the downloads
a) I'm sorry but the answer is "no". I pay hotfile every month and the downloads give me the possibility to pay it. I dont do this for money, but I also dont want to waste my money
q) My phone sometimes freeze and I have to reboot.
a) Go in Settings -> Audio -> disable audible touch tones. this will solve the issue in most of the cases.
q) During/after boot a window appears with "System process not respoding". What I have to do?
a) This is caused from the new audio driver I used. The new audio driver has better phone stability and no robo voice. You have two choices: 1) Click on "wait" and all will be fine OR 2) download the "old_acdb_file.zip" and flash it via recovery. In this way you will not have the error anymore but you will start having robo voice on first call (you can avoid this disabling audible touch tones) and could happen that your phone freezes when receiving a call. It's your choiche. I preferred the "window error" one because for me is more important to have a working phone than an error window appearing at boot.
q) I have robo voice when I make a call
a) To avoid this, disable "audible touch tones" from the "settings -> audio" menu. You will have no-more robo voice also if you reboot.
a) During the robo-voice call, enable the speaker, then disable it. You will have no more robo-voice until next reboot.
q) I have very low audio during calls
a) During the call, enable the speaker, then disable it. You will have loud volume until next reboot.
q) after boot I see only a white screen with a green htc logo
a) just wait. It can take fro 5 up to 20 minutes depending on your sd card. There are no issue. The build booted fine, it's just copying all the files to SD. This will happen only on first installation.
q) I'm having high battery drain
a) Try reboot. Try disabling gps in location. As you can see from the screenshot I have 4mA with WIFI active! Also be careful. If during google account setup you choose to backup/restore all your data, the sync process will be dramatic heavy because it has to reinstall all your apps. It could need a couple of hours to settle. Also high battery drain could be caused by SD. try another one.
q) It's really laggy!!!!
a) as all Desire HD builds this is BIG! This needs at least 10-15 minutes after boot to be usable. Then try to use it for 5-6 hours.. and do a couple of reboots.. you will see that the speed will improve. After 24 hours of use and 4-5 rebots this will be really fast.
q) It lags when I'll install apps?
a) yes a little. Just to say: I have a desire hd... it lags also in the same case.. very few.. but the lag is there.. so it's an issue form desire hd base.
q) I have no GPS or the fix is really slow
a) Firs fixt can take up to 5 minutes. just wait.You can edit the config.txt gps_zone= to your country. See here for the right strings http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ if this not solves, try use QuickGps from the market to download a-gps data.
q) Can I unmount the SD while in use or connect the phone as mass storage to my pc while in use?
a) No. Is dangerous for your files
q) It not boots
a) partition again and format again your sd card. follow the guide linked in the first post. post your init.log file for help
q) I have no data/3G/HSDPA
a) probably you have to set your apn manually. google it for tips on how to do and what settings are need for your carrier
q) How do I remove BOOTSOUND / How do I change bootanim
a) bootsound and bootanim are located in /system/customize/resource
Just delete android_audio.mp3 if you dont want sound
q) I have wake up lag
a) It's an issue that devs are trying to solve. It's not related to the build itself. In the Q&A Forum there is a thread about this problem. HERE, HERE,....
q) I have issues in flash during web brosing, the browser force closes
a) If you have issues with flash videos on website, you need an older flash version. Check this post. Thanks to Jayedamina http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=280

--- last one for me... just in case... ---
Wow, this is awesome.. thanks for showing the SD crowd a little love! downloading now
Really nice to see your HD build on SD.
Thanks!
rafpigna, your hd builds are maybe the best desire hd based builds for hd2
i'm very glad that you've ported it for running from magldr, thanks
Thank's !
Downloaded it,setting up right now
booted just fine .
Data working fine,arows are not working. EDIT:fine after restart !)
Thank's for the SD build !
finally see you here in SD builds, one of my favorite chief. Thank Raf.
Oh my God if i can only send a beer through package! You rock my HD2
Thanks Raf, how to restore stock font?
Master chief ! many thanks from sd lovers !
Thanks for the ROM mate..
I have read alot about its NAND version and about its wonderful performance..
Just tried it now ( SD/WinMo/No MAGLDR ), it ran well on me test card ( 8GB ), but when I tried it on me main 16 GB card, it just stucks on the first boot screen.. looks like it has something to do with SD partitionning..
P.S. both cards were unpartitionned...
Cheers...

If there is no log means SD card is not mounted. Are you using wp7 or wm?

WM 6.5>>>>>>>>>>>
Its been very quiet in these forums recently, probably because everyone has bought a Galaxy S2 or a HTC Sensation!
I recently came across UPX, this is a compression utility that can shrink exe and dll files quite dramatically, saving space and increasing application launch speed quite dramatically.
I am currently using Mirom8 and even though this Sense 2021 rom is protected have decided to list exe and dll files that can (I think) be UPXed for speed
Here is a list of exe and dlls from the \windows folder and their UPXed size:
AdjustMotionSensor.exe 109k
AdobeReaderLE.exe 1050k
AlarmPopUp.exe 105k
AlbumSearcher.exe 135k
AudioBooster.exe 87k
AudioManager_Eng.exe 76k
BackupRestoreUI.exe 220k
Camera.exe 161k (nice increase in launch speed here)
CommManager.exe 152k
ConnectionSetup.exe 112k
ConnectionSetupAuto.exe 115k
ContactEditor.exe 66k
EmailSetupWizard.exe 97k
Facebook.exe 206k
HTCAlbum.exe 400k
HTCAppointment.exe 105k
HTCBookmark.exe 123k
HTCDRMEngine.exe 949k
HTCMsgEnhance.exe 110k
HTCPhotoPicker.exe 358k
OneNoteMobile.exe 268k
PPCPimBackup.exe 147k
PPT.EXE 687k
PushClient.exe 137k
PWORD.EXE 128k
PXL.EXE 291k
RSSHub.exe 266k
ServiceMode.exe 160k
SettingImprovement.exe 90k
SIM_MGR.EXE 82k
SimLockP.exe 49k
SimMgr.exe 117k
SPMC.EXE 117k
StreamingPlayer.exe 165k
Uploader.exe 97k
WiFiNetwork.exe 67k
wma9prodecoder.dll 236k
wmv9decoder.dll 258k
WMVDMOE.DLL 238k
YouTube.exe 145k
And other useful savings
Opera 10, 2 largest files can be UPXed, flashlite, the large dll can be UPXed
S2U2, all exe's can be UPXed, makes the unlock screen quite smooth to use
Its not worth UPXing files less that 200k although it might help a slow launching app around the 150k size, and normally its not worth UPXing files that stay resident in ram all the time, as it can use quite a lot more ram than normal, but if you launch apps a lot, then it can really make a difference to the speed of opening your favourite applications. Apps that use .net cannot be UPXed either, so that is a limiation otherwise more files could be UPXed.
Very good work!!! Have you send me all the files? I will over weekend swap the files and re cook mirom8.

Hi Miro
I will send you a rar file again via email today at some point.
This can be done to other rom releases too you know, i am unsure of total rom savings space wise, possibly 20MB-30MB, not huge but we are talking a whole 20MB plus of internal storage free for something else.
Also it would be useful to know whereelse in the rom there are exe files i can try to upx, must be other places.

miROM1 and miROM8 are good ROMs and if we can save 20 - 30 MB Storage, then will be much better! i try it and give you a feedback!
good work, tnx

Miro is working on it for us
hi, a short statement:
my sense 2021 package i have compressed with cfc.method the result is sense and sense tabs starts quicker and works really faster. ok. miROM1 and mirom8 are in the lastest relases also fast, but all starts 0,5 sec. quicker. UPX method compress the exe + dll files and the result is from app to app different- but i mean the most works better and we save few MB storage. miROM8 has now 270 MB and miROM1 has 256 MB free Storage.
Both ROMs are with all fixes and updates incl. cam-button and toshiba power + wifi settings.
I would test it and will upload it next days
cheers, miRO

Good news and sounds quite exciting, i am glad you found a way to get CFC working with 2021, i had read it was somewhat more difficult than previous versions like 2012, and UPX saves some space, thats good too.
270MB user storage is incredible i would say!
Great job!
Which version of UPX did you use ?
can i have a link ?

Any version above 3.03 supplied with this batch utility works fine, but i used the latest version 3.07
Best to do all compression on your pc rather than use a PPC version, it can take quite a long time to compress a large exe file.

then i have seen on Mirolg ROM thread you manage a complete suite with standard TG exe... can you share this package, i think system files (*.exe) is universal...
And maybe you win when i will finish my new SKIN in test !
other nice idea to still use this tool always updated... i forgot it ! but it s very usefull !

I know .NET files cannot be UPXed, i did say this in my other post about UPX, but this thread was to state what i found could be done on mirom8.
Also bear in mind small files less than maybe 100k are not worth doing, because there is a latency involved with getting file off of storage, and then decompressing it in ram.
Also there is a downside, files UPXed have a higher memory footprint than files not compressed, so for instance, Imanager.exe that would always be resident in ram, is a bad idea, it will use more ram than it would if it wasn't compressed, its more useful for the config program, as that would make it open faster, any program that starts with the phone, don't bother UPXing it, any program thats always running, don't UPX it.
Glad you found the post useful.
then i will try to tes Mirom8 Rom and extract desired system files compresses based on your discussion with Mirolg...
thx for all !

Mirom8 cfc is a beta and is not protected, so you can either ask Miro for what can and can't be done, or dump it in a kitchen and use it as a guide as to what to UPX and with what settings, not everything can be -Brute compessed, especially dll files, i believe there is a -Best switch, you will have to do a lot of trial and error, Miro has made leaps and bounds in finding what can be done, if you find things he has missed, let him know, anything to get a smaller, faster rom. My favourite example is the camera application, it fles, it opens in about 3 seconds.
Adding to your list of what you found could be done, i can tell you both of the largest files in the Opera application can be UPXed, so thats the exe and the largest dll file, in flashlite the largest dll can also be UPXed.
i will tru one by one Windows Exe files...
but i repeat i m pretty sure system base system is same on all rom especially system configuration files...
and All TG tool file, like camera and more other indispensable application...
You know what i m looking for... that's why i ask you to send me a package with already identified files system 'UPX transformed'...
I will won lot of time...
indeed, i will report your technic 'UPX' to a French Rom Cooker...
Actually my ROM, maybe it will try it himself too... and more tester more report !
have fun !

Some components cannot be UPXed, cprog.exe, unless you first compress the png files, and gwes.exe, will eat more memory than ever if upxed, however if you found a technique to make it work postively on memory usage, please share how you did it.
I read some of this thread, maybe useful to you.
Only files i have are the ones listed in the first post, better off looking at miros roms as he has a lot of files upxed there.
Damn ! Beautifull... all your idea is awesome !
All your link is so cool...
i will try to test some new files... another tester is in place now... we will report all files we can test here !
Thx...
