Little John Palm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little John PalmOS (or LJP in short) is an open source multi-system emulator for Palm OS 5.0 (or newer) devices. It is currently one of the most sophisticated emulators available for the Palm platform, as it is remarkably stable, very feature filled, and can emulate a wide variety of various gaming platforms. It is free software licensed under the GPL.

[edit] Development
Little John Palm is written largely by Yohann "yoyofr" Magnien, but several other individuals also greatly contributed, especially alias Tinnus, and Jeff "Skeezix" Mitchell.
During the writing of Little John Palm, code was taken from the many other open source emulators for other platforms, including Jeff Mitchell's own GuineaPig emulator, another popular multi-emulator for the Palm OS. In that respect, LJP can be considered more of a porting of existing code onto the Palm platform, as opposed to have been written from scratch. However, this is something of a generalization, for while the emulator is largely influenced by existing emulators, much effort had to be made to port it to the Palm platform. As of 2006, the current version is 1.0RC3.
