[IDEA/Random thought] 84+ emu on nspire
« on: November 26, 2010, 03:57:30 pm »
1.  ok, all nspire owners with the 84+key pad know about the affects of upgrading your regular nspire os with the 84+ emulation.

2.  You probabally also know about the inability to transfer a new os to the 84+ emulation w/o upgrading your nspire os.
3.  Ram pages.  We are confined to three...


Ok. I am tring to be clear but i got up early for black friday....

2.  Is there any way to write an assembly program, either for the nspire or the 84+ emulation, that will enable os upgrades independent to the nspire operating system?
3.  Is there anyway to unlock the nspires memory to get extra ram pages for the 84+?


Note: sorry for being unclear.

That would be cool, but very hard, since we can't even upload OSs to the NSpire, I think, so a patch? That would be really hard

Happybob, an interesting idea. Sadly, the only thing I know about that could answer this question is calc84's in-the-works emulator.
Others may know more than me ;D

maybe just an asm program with the power of ndless.
well. If you can edit the os, then a patch wouldn't be terrible, but i don't think thats where the answer would lie.

Well, instead of trying to improve the 84+ emulation already on the Nspire, I think it would be easier to simply write a new 84+ emulator that can be run with Ndless to use any rom image.

I don't know if it would be impossible to do, but I would think it would be difficult to change TI's built in emulator.

Theorically, I have no idea of how ndless works, it's like a .c file that installs it, right?
I just have no idea how it theorically works and would like to know.

(Emphasis added) A 3rd-party emulator is probably the easiest (though it still isn't easy) route to go on this, as apcalc said.

That is a great thought.
but would all the asm commands possible with the nspire be enough  for the 84+ though?

Yeah Yeah! We could make a program for 84+ keypad that changed definitions of the calculator itself, including other keypads. AWESOME idea!

Priorities reconsidered. Starting on 83+ emulator now.

Yeah, but why 83+ instead of 84+?

He probably means a more generic 83+ Series emulator. Or, even if he only creates an 83+ one, it won't be too difficult to expand it to one for the full series.

What?  This program would technically be for the Nspire, but it could be run with the 84+ keypad.  It would be very hard to program this directly to the 84+ keypad.

* apcalc wants calc84 to make an 89 emulator before an 83+ one. :(

Yeah, no point in starting with 84+, which has quite a bit more hardware to emulate.

wait, you already started that as a project?, you are starting now?, or you are stating what should be done first?
