Title: nspire-z80: open source ti-84 emulator for the nspire cx
Post by: pbfy0 on February 16, 2016, 01:23:26 pm: This emulator is not fully functional, but it can boot up TI-OS, so it's fairly complete. It seems to freeze if it's idle for long enough that it should turn off, so don't use it for anything critical. However, it does work, so I'm publishing it now. I hope to keep working on it and add the missing features.

Download (https://github.com/pbfy0/nspire-z80/releases/download/v0.10.2/nspire-z80.tns)
Source code (https://github.com/pbfy0/nspire-z80/)

To use, launch it once to register the file association, then launch a rom file with the extension "8rom".
New in version 0.10: Fixed save states, Hardware W+ support, on button, offscreen area emulated

Post by: pbfy0 on February 16, 2016, 03:10:46 pm: I worked on it some back in May and June of last year, and I finished it in the last week or two. I used an existing z80 core (DrZ80), but all the IO code is mine. The Z80 core is written in assembly, and the IO code is written in C with some assembly components for speed.

Are you planning on adding some neat stuff like grayscale detection and then using actual gray and thelike?

Post by: timedia on March 02, 2018, 06:24:04 pm: This sadly doesn't work on ndless 4.5 rev. AB, the screen just flickers and shows a square, or maybe I have to turn the emulator on?

Anyways, it looks really cool, would you think that it is going to work on Nspire clickpad (black and white) or it will just instantly crash or something like that ?
