Hello,
I worked a bunch on TI Emulate last night, which, for those of you who don't know, is a .NET based z80 emulation library geared towards calculators that I will be using in tiDE. I'd like to thank calc84maniac for his excessive help on the matter, it was quite useful. I support roughly 30 opcodes at the moment, and two ports. All registers as well as the CPU bus are properly emulated.

Can't wait for you to post it here.
.NET? VB, C#?

C#.

it runs 83/84 series, right?

If it does it's just what I'm needing...

I hope it is better at capturing still screenshot unlike wabbitemu...

the problem with wabbit is that u have to press backspace, assign it a name, and press backspace again quick...

Yup, if he makes it work minimally, I'll be so happy: 'cos I'll be able to program ti83/84.
-
u don't have 83/84?

Are you guys using the latest version of Wabbitemu from http://wabbit.codeplex.com/ (http://wabbit.codeplex.com/)?

And sometimes stopping capture doesn't work x.x (usually with extremly long screenshots and when changing emulation speed and doing lots of other stuff in the meantime, though). Also everytime a new release comes out it breaks lots of stuff so when you get a working version, keep a backup copy before updating x.x. I hope it gets finished but it seems that they are not planning to add stuff SirCmpwn needs to interface with tiDE, so basically, this is why he needs to write his own emu.
SirCmpwn one thing I wonder: How will your emulator handle grayscale? Will it be like WabbitEmu kinda? Virtual TI had nice 4 lv grayscale but it looked terrible with 3 level grayscale.
-
hmmm, does it use .dlls? and, will it be open source?
-
Would there be something wrong with using dlls? I know with old stuff they can't be signed/registered on Windows Vista/7 anymore. Take for example two of my Visual Basic 6.0 games in the downloads section (ANIGIF.OCX and DAXCTLE.OCX)
-
hmm? No.. no. nonononono... no
I just want to know :D

I think he meant it doesn't support still shots. The Mac version does, though...
Try CalcCapture for now.

For still screenshits I just use PrintScreen on the keyboard then paste what it copied to the clipboard in paint or another image editor. Then I crop the image.

Yes, I caught this. ;D

Awww...That's the one thing that I don't want to do...
*PrintScreen, crop, paste, PrintScreen, crop, paste, PrintScreen...OMG! Monster Appeared! Run...Run...Run...Yes! crop, paste...*
-
Did no one notice the misspelling? ;D
-
That's one serious typo there x.x
-
If it's my post, please understand that English is my second language.. :(
-
Oh, no, its not you. Its DJ's

Darnit, not again x.x
They need to move the o less close to i on keyboards ;D

Yeah true, that might be kinda annoying x.xIf it's my post, please understand that English is my second language.. :(
It's because I mispelled screenshots as screenshits ;D

I did, but I made a screenshit of it XD
-
Post it in the Jokes thread? ;D ... J/k.
-
In Wabbitemu, can't you drag the screen into a folder (or to your desktop)?
-
I don't think so. I just tried.
-
Wait, seriously?
EDIT: Weird, the "file moving" thing showed up, but it didn't actually take the shot...
-
It shows the little + sign..but nothing happens
-
Hmm, I think that may have been broken at some point.

Yep, just reported it.

Better than the Illusiat 13 screenie thread. :P
-
Holy cow O_O
qazz42, it's a C# .NET library.
As for screenshits, it will do still and gif.
As for grayscale, I will be studying a TI-83+ screen, and tracking how long it takes a pixel to go from black to white, and the rate at which it does, and base it off of that.
Right now, it only supports the TI z80 processor in general, I haven't added enough to make it specific to a model. I'll be doing the TI-83+ first, then the TI-84+.
-
Keep in mind not all calc screens behave the same way, though (requires different grayscale frequency), but I guess if it's similar enough it should be fine.
-
Yeah, I'll touch it up later in the development, but right now I'll be happy if I get it to boot up :)
-
Well, and tiDE was supposed to be cross platform, and if TI-emulate was involved, then it couldn't really use .DLLs. (Well, technically it could uses .SOs for linux and .dylib for mac)
BTW, this was in reference to a post on the first page. But it also applies to the use of .net
-
tiDE is written entirely in .NET, and is only cross-platform under Mono. However, the entire suite should work fine on Linux and Mac.
