Well, since you mentioned using the Emulator you have already gotten ahold of some
ROMs (unless you uploaded them from a real
Palm.) Once you sign an agreement with Palm, you can then go into the ROM clickwrap
area and download your choice of ROM files from
different devices. Some append "dbg" to their names - these are debug versions of the
ROMs. If you are using one with dbg in the
title than you are already using a dbg ROM.
What a debug ROM is is a version of the OS that has all kinds of special features to
help you catch problems with your code. It
will detect errors and stop your code on the line that's causing them, as well as give
you an explanation of the error. It's
helpful and is really a must, although you also will still need to test on the release
ROMS once the code is ready.
