TPSM for Palm OS Platform – An Introduction

The “Traditional Pub Slot Machine” (TPSM) is an easy to play, addictive slot / fruit machine simulator that includes a features board, nudges, holds and gambles. A high score table records your best scores.


System Requirements

TPSM only uses 40Kb of Palm storage memory for the 4 grey scale version, 49Kb of Palm storage memory for the 16 grey scale version and 65Kb of Palm storage memory for the colour version. It has been tested on the following devices…

Palm IIIc 256 Colour version
Palm Vx 16 Grey scale version
Palm IIIx 4 Grey scale version

If you choose to use this software on any other device you do so at your own risk, specifically it does NOT work on machines that do not support grey or colour such as the 1000 and Pro.

Note for Visor users, while the grey scale version appears to run on a Visor (I have not been able to extensively test it so be warned), the faster CPU speed makes some of the features difficult to use. If you choose to play TPSM on one of these devices you may want to slow the CPU down to 22Mhz, close to the speed of the Palm equivalent, I have used the excellent Fast CPU application by Mega Soft and found it to help.

To install the software you should use the install tool that came with you Palm Pilot. Instructions on how to use the Palm installer are in the Palm Handbook that came with your organizer. Make sure that you install only the software appropriate for your device…
