Palm OS Emulator does not include ROM images: it is essentially like a computer without an operating system.

Developer’s Description

Create a virtual handheld device on your PC to write, test, and debug Palm software.

The Palm OS Emulator is a program based on the Copilot app that emulates the hardware of the various models of Palm-powered handhelds, making it a valuable tool for writing, testing, and debugging applications. Palm has taken the original Copilot app and enhanced it with new features, debugging support, and support for more recent ROMs (the source code is still available). With this program, you can create "virtual" handheld devices on your PC and develop Palm apps with ease. Emulated devices can be loaded with new ROMs, so you can test your application with virtual devices, including different devices than you own, foreign language ROMs, and debug-enabled ROMs for extra error checking and debugging features. You can also download skins for this program that will cosmetically emulate device-specific images, making it even easier to develop software for your favorite handheld device running the Palm OS.

Pros
It is an emulator folks, it is designed to mimic a Palm, not interact with one. Who cares about USB support, I used it for testing how website look on a Palm and it worked fine.
Cons
I came back to get it and it is no longer here. The link you give does nothing at all: http://download.cnet.com/3001-2212_4-10111408.html?spi=39b966bbf4102ad5295b0bbc2a268840

Pros
You can't be serious
Cons
Emulator software would not work correctly. My phone kept booting.
Summary
USB connection kept timing out, and my device was not listed so I couldn't create a custom session.

Pros
Works great, make sure to get the "Platform41_m505_enUS.rom" file, I googled it and was able to download it.
Cons
Must google to find the rom file need to run it, but after that it works great. No need to hook up the Palm, no worries about usb connection problems

Pros
- Nothing.
Cons
- Does not support a USB connection - What's all this nonsense about a ROM image transfer?
Summary
It has basically no functions. I have not seen it at work yet because it does not support a USB connection.

it really sucks, if ur palm is connected to the pc by the usb port, it won't work. this program only supports the serial port connection. i hope that this company could upgrade this product to support usb connections.

Summary
I had a palm IIIe before which connected through COM1. Palm OS Emulator was fine then. Then, 2 years later, I got a Sony Clie PEG-SJ30. I have two problems. (1) Only connects to palm device via COM1, and I only have a USB connection for my Sony. (2) The Sony Clie, or Palm OS 4 is not available on the Emulator. I only recommend if you can connect to COM1, then this would work. If not, then forget it.
I could not figure out how to use this
