A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender asks "Why the long face?"

A port of calcnet and we could have multiplayer starcraft!  sounds like fun.

it might want a signal over serial to trigger it. Just a thought.

Extended: I don't think we'll ever see a need for OpenGL, which any Open Source n64 emulator will need but that's a really generous offer! SDL support would rock. And DJ, I can definitely see the color issue there. Perhaps there could be some kind of pallete limiter, seeing as there's 16 colors it could cut that to 8 (merged together) and that should help with contrast. you would lose some color features. maybe it should be an option in the emulator.

Making it greyscale is easy enough. Also, there's frodo already  PalmOS version: link

not possible. being in C isn't everything.
1. Power. The nspire doesn't have any 3D hardware. It runs at 150 mhz on a single core Arm9 processor. The N64 emus require quite a bit of brawn on both counts. The N64 is a 64 bit system, meaning emulation becomes significantly harder. N64 has several specialized chips that ALL need to be emulated simultaneously, at high speeds. Keep in mind that the DS cannot do n64 emulation either, and it has more power in all of these areas besides clock speed. Even then, it has 2 CPUs which act concurrently.
2. Libraries: The many libraries project 64 uses (Mupen64 does too) do not exist for the nspire.
Mupen64Plus is the only n64 emulator that even has an arm port. Project 64 doesn't have anything but a windows version. This isn't a reason it's impossible, so it's not numbered.
Oh, and ancient movies aren't the ideal location to learn grammar.

1. boo, system() makes your code not cross-compatible, not to mention inefficient and slow. However it's harder to avoid than in #2 unless you're using some text rendering libs, like ncurses. (Which you're not) 2. cin.get() will work for pressing enter. See this: link3. use the ctime lib (#include <ctime>) then the function time() will return the current time. Use a while loop or something to wait for it to get to the appropriate time, comparing the original recorded time to the current using difftime(). The code is simpler than the explanation The link under 2 is a good read for any C/C++ programmer.

Yep. f.lux will do the job.

Hmm, what about the SE? It has more RAM and Flash (I think ) and the new crystal timers, but no USB or RTC. With a proper IO driver (could be community-made) it seems like it would be doable.

Ah, but I still suspect they watch the calc forums. They don't need accounts to see news on the releases.

how far up in math are you? It would determine how much power you need.

NiMH, if anything, runs more stably, as they stick to a higher voltage (not overall, they do run a bit lower than alkalines at full charge) until you get to near-dead battery levels. Alkalines gradually decrease their voltage output as they run down in a linear fashion, whereas NiMH have a very small slope that suddenly drops. The battery will think it's full enough until the last few minutes of running, but not so extremely as to cause problems.
