Because second hand ones go for €20 more than a 83+ on average. I am a poor hacker.

I still got an expansion port on the side of my own calculator. I could rewire it so there are buttons mapped to it. I could make a button attachment thingy so there is a d-pad on the left and two buttons on the right for example.

I wonder: how much more/less would it cost if you don't use a real 83+, but shoose other hardware, which is capable of executing z80 asm code (like the ez80), or which is powerfull enough to emulate the 83+? If you have more powerfull hardware, you can play better games on it, which would be good for the console part.
My projects
 - The Lost Survivors (Unreal Engine) ACTIVE [GameCommandoSquad main project]
 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:
- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)
 - a minecraft game in axe DEAD (source code available)
 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

Writing an emulator would be a lot harder than cutting up a TI83+ and putting it in a gba shell.

Unless you used an already existing emulator, but then you need much better hardware to run it than running a real ROM directly :P

The eZ80 can run at 50Mhz and the pipeline technology makes it more efficient. There are versions with 16k of built in SRAM and 256k of flash. It has all sorts of interfaces including SPI and I2C which makes it easier to interface with serial LCD's, SD cards etc.

Also, older 83pluses are separated into two PCBs, one half with the display and the other with the keyboard and brains. If you want USB, you can integrate a SilverLink. 84pluses are on one PCB with the display glued on, so the older 83pluses are a better choice if portability is desired. It would also make a slide-out keyboard easier.

This is a pretty neat idea. I've actually thought about this as well. I was considering the 84 pocket (since it's smaller) and orienting it like a ti-92 or v200. The problem of course is fitting all the buttons and still managing to have a decent layout. :/

That reminds me, one key layout could maybe have 2nd and ALPHA (or mode) mapped to the L and R buttons, since in modern shooters you shoot with L or R.

For some reason when I first saw the thread title, what came to mind was some sort of atari jaguar-like controller hooked up to a 12" crt screen..
Or this. Imagine rocking a case like that in math class :P

Looks pretty cool anyways.

Haha that's what I thought as well, although I didn't see that gadget, but rather thought about the Atari Jaguar gamepad and the Atari 5200 one.

Well benryves did make a TI-83+ output on a television! Perhaps a calc console would be a reality?!
