I must be confused. I see several threads and various links about how to load an HP 4x emulator onto Axim X50v. I, however, am still a holdout (and quite happy) utilizing and gaining new information and knowledge on X5 Advanced. While I am not able to purchase actual HP Calculator currently, I am interested in loading an emulator for ease of use while traveling/work. My questions are:
1.) Which specific emulator(s) do I need? Are the ones from hpcalc.org or the other source with the wompat file preferred?

2.)Is it true that I will need the emulator(s), ROMS (available either within the emulator software or from HP website)? Sharing ROMS I know is illegial or posts where to find them unless you own the hardware itself, but I found a link stating that HP allows use of their ROMS without owning the actual device?

3.)With the Emulator loaded, and applicable ROM, then the only other item is the script?

Please provide answers to questions above, applicable links, tips and hints for a successful first time loading of the emulator. Thanks! This Aximsite Rocks!!!
