Hello! I finally got my Visor today

Everything seems to be working just great except one small problem. When running games like mahjongg or palmrunner (Lode Runner clone, one of my old favorites) the screen graphics are small and in a higher rez it seems. The display flickers. I of course tried the contrast but it flickers no matter what. Is this just normal? of not any advice? It seems to work perfect otherwise and the main display seems fine.

It is only flickering within a small grid pattern that makes up the blocks of the game.

Advice?

I've seen it in mahjongg also. (see the incompatibility list inside the VC FAQ). The author does not have a Visor so cannot work on the problem.

Well I found a solution. I am not sure it is the best, however, I am using hackmaster and installed a hack called "Nostreakhack". This allows you to set the refresh rate of the Visor and it seems to work. It does seem to make the grey graphics "lighter" in color. It does fix the flicker though and now I can play the games fine. You should be able to get these from palmgear.com. Let me know if it works for you and if you have a better solution, please share.
