WP-34S, known as the most powerful scientific calculator on the earth, now has been ported to NSpire;D


Thanks Zweb for bringing us such a nice simulator!
Thanks hikari.uiharu for making the key map in the simulator!
Thanks the 34S project team: Pauli, Walter, Marcus & more!


The simulator has a very nice UI. Press the VAR key to see the remapping definition. Press the Sketch key can switch the register display (XYZT/ABCD/LIJK).

Please notice that currently it won't work on a clickpad NSpire.  :(

Some beautiful pictures:

As an open-source project, 34S has been ported to PC and iOS. And now it's the first time that we see a well functional simulator running on NSpire!


Quote
The WP 34S function set is based on the famous HP-42S RPN Scientific, the most powerful programmable RPN calculator built so far. We expanded this set, incorporating the functionality of the renowned programmer‘s calculator HP-16C, the fraction mode of the HP-32SII, probability distributions as featured by the HP-21S, and added many more useful functions for mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, programming.

*necro alert* I just tried this out and I can't find a way to exit the program D: It looks really awesome though. Whether or not this is gonna be a keeper is dependent on whether or not you can quit the program.

Have you really tried every key? I noticed that many Ndless programs uses particularly unconventional ways to exit. Instead of 2nd, you might have to press Q, R or in some cases Menu or Del I think. Otherwise, if there's really no way to exit then adding it would be a must.  Or maybe it could be forked?

I think I've tried every key. However, if you need some key combo then it's going to be very hard to exit because you get squared as much possibilities <_<
It doesn't help that all documentation on the program is in chinese. My chinese is very, very rusty. (read: i cant chinese)
