I seem to have accidentally uploaded a broken version... so here's an update.
On key moved to nspire's on key.
You can now add something like ext.rom=calcemu_version to ndless.cfg.tns and you can open both rom files and save files directly.
Some bug fixes, probably.
The classic versions are completely untested, so run at your own risk, or something (If anyone tests, please let me know if it works).

Will we ever be able to load programs on the calc. What I mean by this is getting a TI-84+SE file and renaming it to <Program name>.tns putting in on the calc and running it from the emulator? Or is modifying the ROM file impossible on the calculator?

Ti-Programmer: yes, we theoretically can plug in a flash drive and read from it, but that requires Linux, as far as I have seen, and the flash chip driver does not work, so files cannot be transferred to the calculator from the flash drive.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. And welcome to the forums, I'm a bit late to say that, but welcome all the same!
I like the way you did your sig, those bars look nice.
Hmm.... if we could get transfers to and from calc to flash drive, that would be amazing.

Thanks :)

This may be a new topic in itself, but ExtendeD was working on the USB drivers, but never got to a release. I imagine that the Linux source would have usable USB code in it, since it uses USB devices well.

From Linux, the problem is not so much with the Flash chip driver as with the fact that there's no driver for the proprietary Datalight Reliance filesystem used by TI, layered on top of the FlashFX proprietary layer. Linux has support for dozens of filesystems, but not this one.
From TI's OS, the problem is that it does not support Mass Storage Devices.

But indeed, we're getting into off-topic territory :)

I just got a chance to test the clickpad version, and it does not seem to work. it just gives me a blank screen. I can still exit but it takes a while.
By the way, you made some changes to nspire_emu? I would like to know what you did. It might fix compatibility issues with other programs.

Make sure you have the right rom. Also you have to press menu to start it up.

ah, I thought the 'on' key was moved to the Nspire's ON key. What is the right ROM? I dumped my own multiple times, and only BootFree roms seem to work. Other roms just display a blank screen.
The pixels are readable, but there is some white space on some of them.
Idea: for the people who have memorized the 84 keymap, could we use the letter keys as direct-mapped keys?

jacobly did say that but I don't think he's posted an download since then so that's probably in the next update.

Yes! It would be nice to have a drawing of the Nspire and the 84+SE next to each other showing arrows to translate the keys.

i'm busy with the concept of it: florisfredrikze.nl/emumap/index.html
I finally got the popover placement working so i can focus on getting the ti-84 map in place.

any suggestion for functions to add?
