I foresee being able to load multiple ROMS :D
Also a ROM contains all Flash memory too, isn't it?

Can't wait until a stable release..
I foresee multiple different calcs being supported, as well as CX series support... I hope there are lots of nice features like being able to switch between calcs. Idk I'm just excited.
Keep trying.

Anyway, jacobly will your emulator able to run custom OSes ?
Certainly. Any emulator unable to run third-party OS, on such a limited hardware (no fancy MMU, etc.) as the TI-Z80, wouldn't be very good ;)
Can I take this as a stab at the built-in TI-Nspire 84+ emulator? :P

I wonder if the built-in emulator was using a modified OS? Because I remember you couldn't send any OS to it to upgrade/downgrade.
[hs]The downloadable F-Zero demo ? O.O I never found this one anywhere, are you able to send it to me please ?[/hs]

Anyway, jacobly will your emulator able to run custom OSes ?

From what I remember, though, there was another F-Zero demo posted that was kinda like the App. Or maybe I'm just being confused with the app one and there was no other demo.

But yeah as I and others said many times I can't give you the one inside the emulator because it's illegal to redistribute (it includes the calculator ROM). Just bug Calc84maniac for it.

EDIT: The file is gone from my computer now anyway (along with any e-mail copy I had that included it). Calc84maniac now has it.

EDIT: ...in nspire_emu in VirtualBox
uh ?
If I correctly understood your remark, here is mine :  nspire_emu works fine under Wine.
I think Deep Thought was joking in reference to Xzibit, as in emulating an emulator in an emulator in an emulator in an emulator.

I've done that, actually. My computer emulating Wii emulating Linux emulating Wabbit emulating a virtual calc via mnicalc emulating a TiBOYSE ROM was just for fun. :)
Keep trying.

Unlike the last update, this one actually seems to work!

Proof (thanks to ParkerR):


Instructions:
Rename a 84+SE *.rom file to rom.tns and put it in the same folder as the executable.  Run the executable and press [menu] to turn the calculator on and [↲] to exit the emulator.

Downloads:
Clickpad
Touchpad
CX

Very cool video!
Sadly though, my CX seems to have an inability to even run it :C .
(Maybe an error, or just my CX.)
EDIT: Oh jeez, i'm an idiot.
Didn't even put the .rom in there >_>

Yeah, just trying to imagine how many layers of emulators we could fit in with this. (Also here's a quote in a quote in a quote.)

Same, though I'll probably have to try the current version soon :D That video looks great.

Does it have to be a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition (no plain 84)?

You was faster, I wanted to do the same joke.  :D


When I launch the executable on my TI-Nspire CX CAS, nothing happens.

On my CX CAS, when I launch it, "nothing" happens for 1-2 seconds, and then the OS is back (the menu appears since I tried tapping on Menu to turn the 84 on)


Also, btw : what about a 84C emu since only the LCD driver changes ? :P
