Title: Selling Nspire for Prizm
Post by: Munchor on April 17, 2011, 01:26:10 pm: I am considering selling my TI NSpire with a 84+ Keypad (RARE!) and the Touchpad to buy the PRIZM.

Just asking you guys what do you think of this.

:schocked: I forgot about that. I could also pay for it without selling mine...

TI calculators also have a much larger program selection at the moment (since you have the 84 keypad). I Wouldn't discourage you from getting a Prizm though. It is a very nice piece of equipment. ;)

As I sad in the other topic, I need to know if PRIZM's Maths capabilities are good too :D

EDIT: Thanks for the advice.

Post by: z80man on April 20, 2011, 10:43:22 am: Well there are currently plans to add an 84+ emulator to the Prizm so you wouldn't lose all TI games. Yes you would lose all nspire games because an nspire emulator sounds very difficult to accomplish. But on the other hand many people would like to port some popular nspire games to the Prizm in the near future. Also current projects in development for the Prizm are java and an Axe port.

Saving games is not something I'm really worried with at the moment. But a 83/84+ (SE) emulator would be a +.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 22, 2011, 08:45:17 pm: If you can, you should try to keep your TI-Nspire but still get a Prizm, but as z80 is saying there might be an emu eventually. I think either him or KermMartian was working on one.
