TI-Nspire emulator

[Jim Bauwens]

I have the same problem when trying to compile nspire_emu on Linux, not cross compiling but using the windows.h of wine.
Replace the @'s in asmcode.S with _'s works, but this will cause it to error in a later process.

There is an issue with documents not always sending although the user pressed "Connect". Although it's a bit of a surface fix, at least now every document should be sent once it's connected. (file attached)
It seems to have actually caused more of exactly what it was supposed to fix, at least on my side. Removed the attachment.

EDITNOTE: I take some of what I said back.

As of nspire_emu_060, I think I need some explanation/help.
I decided to experiment more with this version since it is a major release, and start from scratch extracting boot2,files etc.
However when it came to creating a rom, it didn't work the same way it did in v053.
Some commands have changed since 053 and 060 (see screenshot)
Digging into Levak's batch file (from 2+ years ago, and I have edited for my own purposes), I found the /N command was used to create the rom image and it is different now as /N stands for Nand Flash (also was confused about what that meant until I read the v060 post today).
So as of v060, is there any way to create the rom using the command line nspire_emu.exe?

I could just run with boot 2 and install the OS and Save the flash within the emulator window, but since the /N does not mean create a new image anymore, is there any other way?
EDIT: I think /PB and /PO do the job, tho I'm not exactly sure what they do.

I may write a tutorial myself and put it in the Omnimaga Tutorials section for convenience.

Though, this is a great guide: http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/Emulators#Setup


Thanks everyone,

Never mind I created a rom image using the way I said above, install OS and save Flash in the File-> menu. But it's a shame I can't create it directly commandline anymore. At least I think I can't

[Jonius7]

To put it directly, as of nspire_emu_060, there is no way to create and save a flash image in the Windows directory directly from the command line (nspire_emu.exe) anymore? You have to press file, Save Flash as from the emulator window?

Never mind, I found it somewhere in this thread. Perhaps all of this could be put on the first post?

Question: I have some code programmed with the notes application on the Nspire CX. I sent it through TiLP to my computer. Then I opened it with nspire_emu. Is there any way I can get the code out? Copying and pasting like with student software doesn't work...

Thank you!

[Jim Bauwens]

It's hard, but possible. It involves setting a breakpoint in nspire_emu and dumping the xml in a file.
You can find the exact details on Ndlessy (can't link now since I'm on my phone).

If you don't get it working, send me the file and I'll extract the code out of it tomorrow

[cyanophycean314]

Would it be possible to use this notepad program http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?topic=6082.0 to create a .txt, then somehow save or "send" the document back onto the computer in a compatible format (for editing with Notepad++ per se)?

I didn't find the breakpoint and xml thingy...

I'll PM you the document, good luck and Thank you!

Edit: I guess you can't PM attachments, so um, I guess I'll just post it.

[Jonius7]

that would be mighty useful, to extract what you had typed in a Notes app into a .txt file onto your computer. And vice versa.

Another way to get files off nspire_emu/Ncubate is to make a program that outputs the file to the RS232 port.

[bsl]

Another way is to open and load any file into a high memory location and use the debugger dump utility
The attached program does that, and breaks into the debugger for you.
You will have to concatenate the files made.

[Jim Bauwens]

Ok, the code is attached.
Since I run an OS in nspire_emu that doesn't support ndless, I sadly can't use bsl's or Lionel's way.
What I do is copy the content I need to the clipboard (of the nspire) and then dump the memory of nspire_emu using gcore
Sounds strange, but works good for me
Then I just use a hex editor to find the offset of the data and use dd to get it

easier yet:
debug> w nspirememory.bin 10000000 2000000

Then you dont have to look at the rest of the emulator code only what you are interested in.

[Jim Bauwens]

"w" never worked for me when using wine. It always creates and empty document, whatever I do

[cyanophycean314]

Thanks for the source, jimbauwens! I'm not using Ubuntu right now, so I don't think I can use gcore...

easier yet:
debug> w nspirememory.bin 10000000 2000000

Then you dont have to look at the rest of the emulator code only what you are interested in.

When I looked at nspirememory.bin through notepad, I got random symbols.

Another way to get files off nspire_emu/Ncubate is to make a program that outputs the file to the RS232 port.

I wouldn't know how to program something that would output through RS232. Not entirely sure what it is... 

Isn't there just a way to save a document outside of nspire_emu?
