some ideas for the ti-boy
« on: January 11, 2014, 11:21:54 am »
hey guys
i've got some ideas to improve the tiboy:

1: a fast forward button (like the ones you got in emulators)
2: an option to stop emulating the music (i noticed that different music makes tiboy run slow)
3: an option to make a screenshot of the current screen

also i've got a question:

does [-] + [a number] slow the emulator down?

IDK how feasible a fast forward button would be. TI-Boy is already pushing the hardware to its limits.

Doesn't Stat toggle sound emulation on/off ?

i think it only enables the use of a microphone, not the emulation of the music
i think that's why it's running so slow

or i'm just talking out of my arse :P

Yes, even if your calculator is "off", it still uses battery power.

Well, technically. But I think the answer he was looking for is really no, because it doesn't use any more power (or maybe a tiny bit more) than when you turn the calculator off normally in the OS.

I've been occasionally pestering calc84maniac to add this for the last few years. I've even talked through most of the implementation hurdles with him on IRC, but nothing has come of it yet.
