IMAX movies like Oppenheimer that use 70mm film still require a Palm Pilot, and instead of rewriting the software they just made an emulator.

I don’t know why, but I love this. https://www.theverge.com/23801118/imax-movie-palm-pilot-oppenheimer

Here’s why 70mm IMAX movies like Oppenheimer need a Palm Pilot to work

In IMAX theaters around the world, Oppenheimer will play in its full 70mm glory. In the projection booth, a Palm m130 will help make it happen.

@dcreemer @tylersticka @lisamelton “IMAX Engineering designed and manufactured an emulator that mimics the look and feel of a PalmPilot”

I guess this is why I’m not getting licensing fees.

@keith_rollin @tylersticka @lisamelton I will happily testify in court that I saw you write similar code
