jsTIfied and iOS6
« on: February 13, 2013, 07:24:43 pm »
You can now enjoy your TI graphing calculator right from your iOS6 Device! jsTIfied, Cemetech's online TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus emulator, is now a fully-functional emulator for Apple iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices. The key breakthrough to make this a reality is the ability to encode a ROM in JPEG image data. You can use jsTIfied on a computer to export your ROM as JPEG file, which you can then send to your iOS device over iCloud, email, DropBox or iTunes. Once completed, you can navigate over to jsTIfied and upload the image as if it were a normal ROM. The steps required to download the image are on the jsTIfied page under the "ROM" tab. Remember that sharing of ROMs is illegal, even in this JPEG state.

Some drawbacks to using jsTIfied on your mobile device are speed and the lack of repeated button pressing. For speed, if your ROM fails to load it's best advised to close all of the apps that are running in the background. If you're still struggling for speed restart your device. The iPhone/iPod will run significantly slower than the iPad and in turn, the iPad significantly slower than the computer. When using the mouse in Doors CS, iOS will select the HTML box that contains the on-screen calculator and ask you if you'd like to copy it rather than continue that key press which will make navigating slightly more difficult as well as games that require you press and hold buttons, perhaps even pressing them rapidly. As such, jsTIfied on your mobile device is recommended for actual class related calculations!



Thanks goes out to Runer112 & comicIDIOT for testing the process on their devices and benryves for providing valuable JavaScript pointers. As always, if you have bug reports feel free to submit them!

Thanks also to comicIDIOT for his excellent original article on Cemetech.

Wow, nice
When jsTIfied came out, one of the first things that came to my mind was iOS support. I'm really glad it has it now :D

It'd be even easier on Android, because it has root-level file access (not just pictures). Just use the original ROM, no need for JPEG conversion.
In-progress: Graviter (...)

You can actually upload files on iOS? Whenever I want to, the button is grayed out.

That's really awesome. I've waited for an emulator on iOS for a long time, and web apps are always great :D

Since iOS6 you can upload image files from your photo library to web forms. (Probably why the topic title mentions version 6 specifically.)
The key breakthrough to make this a reality is the ability to encode a ROM in JPEG image data.
Clever o.o Now I challenge someone to build a valid ROM image that also works as a normal image.

Great news. I always wondered if online emulators like this one would work on mobile devices before. Good job Kerm. :)

Thanks, guys. :) I've also gotten a few handy tips from a new member about how to resolve the touch issues comicIDIOT mentioned in the article, so those improvements will be coming soon. In addition, thanks to the new calculator we're exploring, I'm hopeful about having TI-84+CSE working in the near future.

A TI-84+CSE emu soon after it's released would be real nice.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

Indeed. I was disappointed to see the PRIZM emulator Walnut die in 2011 or so since the one by Casio isn't always reliable for add-ins testing. Having one early for the new 84+ color model would definitively be great. :)
