ResetEmu - The PalmOS primarily notifies applications of important global events by sending so called launch codes.
The mostcommon launch code is sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch whichtells an application that it should start running.
This isoften the only launch code an application understands - and worse, sometimes the only one it handles properly.
Other launch codes are sent when you do a reset, hotsync,change the time or country.
Applications which do notignore or handle this launch code properly will most likelycrash.
In case of the reset launch code, this will result in an endless loop of resets (escape by pressing the upscroll button!).
Usually you won't see which applicationis the culprit.
This is the moment where ResetEmu will come in.
It sends every installed application a certain launch code to testwhether it crashes.
If it does, running ResetEmu again will tell you the name of the application that behaved incorrectly.

v1.2 (8/28/02):
- Some improvement to the user interface

HackFinder HackFinder - Hacks are little pieces of code that replace or extend functions of the PalmOS.
Usually hacks should be managed by a hackmanager like HackMaster or X-Master, but sometimes they patch the system by themselves, possibly risking conflicts with other hacks/ applications
Crash Pro Even PalmOS applications sometimes crash. Most annoyingly the on-screen reset button often does not work, requiring you to take your device out of its case and perform a manual soft reset. For some devices you may even find yourself in a frantic search for a paperclip to be able to actually do the reset.
Recover ...
But here Crash Pro comes to your aid
Crash Crash - You remember these nifty dialogs saying "Fatal Exception" or "DataMgr.c, Line 1234, Null pointer passed" with a nice looking "Reset" button at the bottom?
Especially when testing a lot of hacks and new programs I get these dialogs rather often
