Hi guys,
This forum is amazing!
I have visited this forum many times. But i have a question that no one talk about and im unable to write it a nspire help forum.
I have trie found anything about emulating TI89, TI89-Titanium, TI92+, V200 in a Nspire but i dont have found anything.
there is so many consoles emulatores, why dont apears other calc emulators. For Basic programs i dont relay need a emulator, only few things change but I dont know nothing about Flash Apps code, and .lua code is a bit complicate/confusing language for a ''basic builder''.
I junt dont understand why no one talks about it.
thank you ;)

Hey, welcome here! Actually I never heard anyone talking about this idea, that would indeed be interesting.
Also have some peanuts.

ohithur!/me is fairly certain that the reason for those other platforms not being emulated is that the nSpire isn't sufficiently faster than they are to simulate the hardware, and the 68k is sufficiently different from it's arm processor that a compatibility layer approach isn't possible.
that's me speaking without much information on the subject, though, so it may be feasible and just never thought about. hopefully someone more knowledgeable about emulators will respond as well.
in the meantime, you should check out the rest of the forum and try posting things there, too; we love new members =)
oh, and have some more peanuts!

There used to be a TI-89 Titanium emulator in the works for the TI-Nspire, by Calc84maniac, but he lost the source code then lost interest. Also the emulator in question didn't run at the max speed the 89 ran at. As for consoles I think SNES and Sega Genesis would be possible, but Super FX games would probably lag a bit.

Welcome here mannuri. As DJ_O mentioned, there was a partially completed one, but it was lost in a hard drive faliure. It is quite possible that one could be made(and probably at decent speed), but someone would have to be interested enough in developing it. Perhaps someone will start such a project in the future. Unfortunately, the 68k series just doesn't quite have the popularity that it used to.
