MobilePro 900c and Laridian PocketBible

Hey Arog, wish I knew of such a place, but this is the best there is. I mean you have a lot of people here with a lot of smarts. You just have to get over the initial learning curve and then things get easier. If you have any suggestions for some help stuff that I should post on my site at HPCNEC.COM, be sure and let me know and I'll add it. Always looking for suggestions to make it better.

well yes cenet requires you to learn some new thigns but after that it is really great.

one place to go to for info on the 900/900c hacking? i'm planning to make a cenet site and one part of it would be entirely dedicated to the 900..

until that if you want to go back to hpc2000 i can send you a downgrade OS image for your 900c.

but maybe we can still figure out this pocketbible issue. send me the cab file to contactchan at freemail.hu

oh and the hpc mfcce is on my site, under hpc mfc http://izemize.fw.hu/hpc.php (edit: ah i see you mean you can't find a hpc2000 version of the program.. forget this last line)

You (and Rich) and all the others are just awesome.

I would love to try the HPC 2000 version of the ROM can you email it to me...or perhaps point me to a URL where I could download it? That would be way great!

What a cool community of people! In my ranting earlier I hope I didn't come across like I didn't appreciate this site or the information it offers...in fact, I love HPC Factor and have perused its articles for a long time. There is tons of great info here. Sometimes though, just by their nature, it can hard to get one final answer from a forum...I'm sure all of you know what I mean.

I am certainly not afraid of learning curves or trying new things. Heck after 15 years in the IT business, I better not be! I think the issue is just one of convenience for me at this point. I mean come...if it is this hard to just "prove" that app x can run on device y....then at some point doesn't the very fact that it took PULLING TEETH TO MAKE IT HAPPEN kind of dimenish the whole effect? LOL...I mean it's kind of like running linux on a pocket pc...you know? It's possible...yes...but what the heck is the point when it doesn't really give you anything useful?

That's kind of how I feel about this whole MB 900c thing at this point. I mean even if I were to get Pocket Bible to run at this point (which with all of your help, I may do...), what will it get me in the long run? I'm pretty sure it will not be very useful because of the screen size issue. What I should be doing is looking for the HPC 2000 version of the app and concentrate on getting that to run because at least if I can do that it would be somewhat useful. The trouble there is that Laridian doesn't seem to offer an HPC 2000 version of the program anymore. Just to make sure of that though, I sent Laridian an email today and asked them directly. I'll be sure and post there reply here when I get it.

Once again...I've said too much I think. Perhaps I should be "blogging" this and not taking up all of ya'lls time with my ramblings!

Rich,

I didn't know about your site until you mentioned it in your post. I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm on my way over there right now! Thanks for pointing out that new resource. As for ideas of what else you could put on your site, I can't say just yet...cause I haven't seen it! But, rest assured, I will take a look around and will give you a shout out if I see glaring bit of useful info that is missing!

Aaron

BTW, just wanted to add that I downloaded the current V3.0 of Laridian Pocket Bible and performed the necessary hex edits to make the program run. It runs...but that is all I can say about it. Then menus require Winwatch in order to access the commands, and my first impression...contact Laridian if you want it and buy the HPC version. Much easier and better. Even with the hacks, the menus stink trying to run the ppc version on an hpc. I attached a couple of screenshots just so you can see what I'm talking about.

Rich

Hi there, i have been trying everything also and would like to know about the downgrade image from 900c to 900 with ce 3.o. can you email it to danielnorman@sc.rr.com. thanks so much. I have been trying to install olive tree and laridian and they dont work to no avail.

Hey y'all. I wanted to do the same thing (Laridian PocketBible on a 900c) and happened across this thread. I used to run the thing years back on a Jornada 820 (which I still have) but can't locate the install programs.

I logged onto Laridian and poked around, the screen snippet, attached, is from their knowledbase. Seems this was written almost three years ago, thus, I doubt they'll ever support ce.net.

Seems that if a concerted effort can demonstrate that it's in their best interest to offer it (i.e.: new sales of PocketBible and/or other add-ons [bible versions, etc.]) they'll get some movement and may deliver.

Maybe a reader of this thread has some influence at UsedHandhelds.com or other vendors that can assist in carrying out this request?

Olive tree works just fine.....you need to make sure that it's BibleReader v2.20h

The newer versions don't work on either the MP 900/900c or the HP 720/728
