kArmTI - TI-Nspire emulator with skin

[Wayne]

Thanks for the information.
You forgot to answer some questions

Third are you going to add the quick icons and features (like hiding the keypad) from onspire ?
Finally, is it possible to upload files from the emu to the pc?

Would it possible to activate "Connect" when I click on "Send TI Doc" or "Send TI Update"?

regards

Yes it's possible. I'm putting together a couple of minor fixes and enhancements which i intend to release sometime soon.
That particular one is already implemented among others. So please wait a little longer.

In the meantime, i'm posting some new skins you might like:



         

SpiroH,

I gave you a few well deserved post ratings  You've put lots of work into this!

Nice work on the skins, but I myself prefer the plain black normal skin.

Thanks for your comments. My comment: Skins can be fun, but of course some will hate it . I'm used to it, though. No problem!

Well, the purpose of this post is to present you with a revised kArmTI version v1.28.

 

Summary of the new features:

I - USBLink Enhancements
USB1. USBLink AutoConnect
USB2. Multi-file SendDocument (use Shift-key to select multiple files)
Upload all (many) your .tns documents (to the same calc folder) in one go.
USB3. Get Documents (.tns) from the calc (one at a time).

II - GIF Tool
 GIF1. Now it can play optimized AnimatedGIfs (partial GIF frames)
 GIF2. Added a trackbar to enable scrolling back and forward.

III - General GUI
BootOptions dialog:
 GUI1. Extra checkbox 'ForceAppExit'. Needed in special cases (e.g. when changing the Flash_size from 32MB to 128MB)
Console dialog:
 GUI2. Extra checkbox to surpress (useless) IME messages (keypresses).
Skin popup menu:
 GUI3. The skin-index prefixes the skin-name

IV - FIXES
 FIX1. Avoid SkinFlashes at startup (the skin was being initialized twice. No need for that!)
 FIX2. Other not worth mentionning...

I hope you will welcome specially the new USBlink enhancements. Give it a go, tell me about any problems (which i'll try to improve asap) and have fun.

EDIT: Small update due to a nasty 'cosmetic' bug.
FIX:          Show the correct filename when sending an OS Update (or ndless installler).
CHANGES:  Add a percentage counter also for send files. Improve file-info being displayed and also error detection.

Hello, testing for first time this emulator 

[Bug]  If the taskbar of (windows 7/8) is the top, to run kArmTI_v28.exe is at below.

kArmTI_v28.exe works with the latest rom "TI-NspireCAS-3.2.0.1219.tnc"?

Thanks

[Sorunome]

Is it linux compatible?

I do not understand your question. Could you be a bit more specific?

kArmTI_v28.exe works with the latest rom "TI-NspireCAS-3.2.0.1219.tnc"?

Yes, it does! Take a look at a few screenshots, i've prepared for you: kArmTI_V28_Bootup.rar
If you haven't yet read the documentation, please go to the first post and follow the documentation links.

Is it linux compatible?

No! Sorry.

Hope it helps,

I have just downloaded karmTIv1.28. It's pretty nice and I enjoy the USBlink enhancements a lot!

Would there be any way to transfer the clipboard of the nspire to the clipboard of the computer? Like if I copied everything in a notes application could there be some way to transfer that to outside of the emulator?

Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate it.

To be honest, i haven't yet investigated that situation. I know that, in principle, it should be possible to request a calc's screenshot, but then that is not quite the same. A work-around is always to save the clipboard contents to a file and the grab that file via the usblink. Not a one-step operation but just a work-around. Give me some more time and i'll get back when/if i have news.

Cheers,

(Bug) Screen Capture windows 7SP1, also tested in Windows8 ReleasePreview Built 8400

When the taskbar is at the top, this bug happens sometimes

Solution: Add option (Always on Top) like Emu48.exe
 


Emu48 source code
http://hp.giesselink.com/emu48.htm
http://hp.giesselink.com/Emu48/E48SP53.ZIP

(Always on Top) can also be used to gain extra space vertically

(Bug) Screen Capture
.....
This bug happens only when the taskbar is at the top

That's just the normal behaviour of all non-maximized applications. It's not a bug!
What's the vertical resolution of your screen? It seems very short! Is it an eeepc?
Try it in a higher resolution monitor or switch the keypad to clickpad or use an horz skin.

EDIT: It doesn't happen on any of my systems and i have quite a few. Try to delete the registry entry and start again.
Also this is the very first time this type of problem is being reported. I've just tested (switching the position of the taskbar) on my system and it works perfectly.

Hope you make progress with the clipboarding function! 

Anyways, I'm not sure if this is wrong with karmTI or with the underlying nspire_emu, but it's happened quite a few times now. The keyboard randomly loses connection to the emulator and I can't control anything with it. Mouse control still works and using the keyboard in other open applications work. It's quite inconvenient...

Hi, would you be interested in an UsbLink Explorer like the one shown below (drag&drop of documents in both directions):

If yes, tell me about it (I may continue the developping effort). I'm having quite a few downloads of kArmTI but almost no points . Have you notive the voting widget on upper-right corner? or should i port some weird game to nspire instead?
What's going on? Do you like it or not?

SpiroH

btw1: Some time ago i've updated kArmTI to v1.28_v1. Some of you have noticed others not really.
btw2: Sorry about the double-post but this is a different matter. well, not anymore...

P.S: you've posted at the same time as was i writing!!

Just read it!! As you may notice i've been busy? (check post).
The Clipboardd stuff is a bit more involved (TI doesn't give away the details). About the keyboard? Oh, well it maybe just a minor bug. I'll try to figure it out asap.

P.S2: Thanks for the negative point i've just received. It can be easily identified. Just hit and run without any justification. Typical unfortunately . I just may stay around for sometime. Thanks.

I was mainly reporting the bug, but mentioned the clipboard in passing. The USBlink explorer would be pretty helpful. Go ahead and do it!

That USBLink is just plain awesome.
Can't wait
