The Palm OS Cobalt 6.0.1 Simulator is a very useful tool for testing applications on PalmSource's latest operating system. However, its use can be a bit annoying. One problem a lot of people have with it is the need to pick what language you are using every time you start it with an EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish) ROM image. However, you can bypass this by adding an entry to your PalmSim.ini file that specifies the preferred locale.
Just add the line "PreferredLocale=enUS" and you're set. Of course, change "enUS" to what you prefer if English isn't your primary language. This setting also works when launching PalmSim, using the command line switch "-preferredLocale:enUS". This will override the PalmSim.ini file, so you might want to have several shortcuts to run the simulator in different languages.
To skip the locale screen with the Palm OS Garnet 5.4 Simulator, you'll need to save a storage snapshot file after you've booted the simulator, and then start the simulator with the "-storagesnapshotfile" option. You can also add a "StorageSnapshotFile=" line to your PalmSim.ini file, specifying the name of the storage file. This snapshot files aren't portable from one computer to another, as they don't contain the needed information to handle different Windows memory configurations, but as long as your system setup doesn't change between runs, they should work on your own machine.
