iziBasic and Palm TX model-specific incompatibilities
05/02/2007 @ 22:54 by aldweb
Dear all,
I have been forwarded issues with the Palm Tx when using iziBasic.
Here are a few of them:
First issue
iziBasic and applications made with it seem to crash (or freeze with a white screen requiring a soft reset) when an application which was run just before launching them changed the screen mode to less that 65k colors. Launching iziBasic from the SD card does not solve 100% the issue but it should run without crashing about 50% to 75% of the time (don't ask me why!). => reported by bh77a (thanks Brian for your extensive testing)
Second issue
Using the SCROLLBAR() function causes the Palm TX to crash into the black void of doom and reset. => reported by Laurie
I have been searching and searching why, checking over and over iziBasic's source code why these issues and never found a single clue since more than one year for the first problem reported to me and since a few days for the second one.
The same tests were done on the following devices: - Palm Vx - Sony Clié N770C - Palm Tungsten C - Palm Simulator - Palm Emulator And all tests would run very smoothly when they would lead to crashes with the Palm TX.
So, this Palm TX has model-specific incompatibilities when using iziBasic that I have not been able to find and eliminate so far (this is very frustrating for me, almost as much as for you poor owners of this device).

Hi Aldweb,
I understand. I was just kind of curious as to if it had anything to do with my theory of 8 bit and 16 bit apps... hoping that all of those experiments set you upon the correct path :).
