GBA emulator?
« on: July 12, 2012, 05:36:27 pm »
I am sure that it is possible to do a GBA emulator, I know it is hardware wise but maybe getting round the anti hack will be harder. What do you think?

(I am talking about an nspire)

Hey Augs - before making new topics, I'd recommend you use that search feature up in the top right. I've found a thread where calc84 (creator of Ti-Boy SE and other emulators for calc) talks about the development process of such an emulator right here:

http://ourl.ca/6307

so maybe you could check that out?

Yes, I believe it was said that a GBA emulator would be relatively slow, even for the Nspire.  Nevertheless, this would still be great to see!

I'm seriously going to make a GBA emulator for the TI-Nspire. Although I'll need to look into ROM file structures, etc. But I'm going to do it anyway...
"Eris" (Ndless 3.1)
"Keto" (Ndless 3.1)
"Luna" (AMS 3.10, HW4)
"Aurora" (2.55MP)

Heya and welcome here Augs. By the way Calc84maniac worked on such emulator back in Early 2010, shortly after releasing gbc4nspire. It was incredibly slow and he lost the files, but then recently he tried making another one and in its early state it seemed to run at better speed, even if slower than the real thing.

By the way you can multi-quote posts by clicking quote in one single message, so you don't need to post two messages to quote two different posts ;)

Also annoyingcalc got an alpha build of Calc84maniac's new emu I think :O. However I doubt it's really far into development yet.

Good, could It also be for the nspire? Or is it just for 84?

I will have to ask calc84maniac before I can send it to anyone, he wants to release it before next week though
