Liberty supports games designed for the original GameBoy.
Conversion of GameBoy games to the format required on the Palm device is
done using a simple utility that is provided with the download. You can
get game images anywhere on the Internet, but to get started, go here:
Gambit Studios does not endorse the illegal use of commercial games. DO
NOT request illegal images from us - we don't know where you can get
them, and will not respond to your requests.
When using Windows, you may 'drag and drop' a rom image on top of the
ROM2PDB.EXE in your Windows Explorer, or type in 'ROM2PDB <romname.gb>'
from a DOS prompt, where <romname.gb> is the name of the rom file.
Since not all GameBoy games have been fully tested, we recommend that
you test Liberty on the Palm OS Emulator prior to syncing it to your
device. It can be obtained here:
http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/emulator
and under Settings->Debug Options please uncheck the following:
[ ] Screen Access
[ ] Hardware Register Access
Don't install games that crash on the Palm OS Emulator onto your device,
if an error occurs then please report it to the Liberty development team
so we can isolate the problem.

HOW TO PLAY:
============
Start Liberty by tapping on the application icon in the application
launcher. After a short while, you will be presented with the main
Liberty screen in which you may select a game and start emulation,
remove it from the device, or setup any configuration options.
REGISTRATION:
=============
Liberty is shareware, the demonstration version does not allow emulation
of GB games that are larger than 32Kb in size. To access these features,
a device identification number is required to generate a unique
unlocking registration datafile.
You can get to the registration screen by selecting the 'Register' menu
item in the 'Game' menu. It is very important to ensure that you copy
down the device identification exactly as it is presented in this dialog
as follows:
45:6D:75:6C:61:74:6F:72:39 <--- generated from the "Emulator" username
It is very common that users copy down this information incorrectly and
hence delay the registration process. An exact match is required for the
restration process to succeed.
Registration is only $16.95 and can be purchased with a credit card at
Gambit Studios website. You may also purchase at PalmGearHQ either over
the phone or Internet using your credit card. It is also sold with a
registered version of the overclocking utility "AfterBurner" at a dis-
counted price of $22.95.
www.gambitstudios.com, the official website for Liberty, handles online
registrations and support for this product.
