Well on their site it was talking about them having 83p files running and such. Naturally I assumed it was an emulator.
*edit* Also, Google translate says it's running an emulator, so I guess that's another reason I thought it was running emulation.
DJ Omnimaga:
Also for some reasons, I thought this was from China until I checked the official website, which was in French. I guess I got confused with Arithmax and the fact many of those projects seems to originate from China lately. Also if it would have been a 82 emulator for real that comes pre-loaded with a ROM then being from China would have been very plausible, since piracy is rampant in that country.

On their site, it may (still ?) say that but it's really a simulator - they've confirmed it on tiplanet (and we've also updated our news article). It may seem like a small difference for a majority of people, but it's not that small when you know what both really mean :P
DJ Omnimaga:
Yeah the main problem really comes when somebody makes an emulator himself but in fact it's a simulator or vice-versa, which can confuse people and those who talk about the software. Although emulation would be nice for the sake of Z80 compatibility :P (but then there's a massive speed loss)
Juju:
They explain it in one of their blog posts how it's not an emulator (but they still call it an emulator). They say they will write an interface to a CAS software though, so it will probably be comparable to the Nspire (with a 83 emulator) or the HP Prime (without a touch screen).
