Thats the goal of the scripting language. Too allow stuff like that.

Probably not happening for a while to much windows specific dependencies. It is sadly very dependent on windows functions :/
DJ Omnimaga:
It would definitively be nice to see WabbitEmu revived. In the last year or so, people have complained that it has more and more bugs over the time and there are speed issues now that were not present a few years ago (back then, I could run the emu at 1600% speed, yet now the max I can reach is 200%)

Perhaps make the BootFree-based ROM creator require the actual calculator to be connected without necessarily requiring a ROM dump? It could just send the calc model and OS version and would refuse ROM creation if it's an invalid calc model.
Otherwise you could maybe make that ROM creator a separate program so it's not included in WabbitEmu directly, so that way, perhaps WabbitEmu will regain support from members who were against that feature.
I don't really mind if BootFree is part of the emulator, since it saved me considerable amounts of time in the past (it takes 30 minutes to dump a 83+ ROM via black link and 12 minutes via silverlink/USB), but I highly encourage people to not use that feature unless they own the calculator, regardless of if it's legal or not (I think it's legal since BootFree doesn't use any code from TI, but using that feature to avoid paying for the calc is unethical). So perhaps it could be kept but with restrictions such as the one I suggested?

It already has those to a limited extent: Slowdowns are available, as well as savestates. However, I am not sure if GIF/video capture still continues after reloading a saved state and I never could figure out how to use frame by frame advance (IIRC it had to be done via breakpoints). A nice TAS'ing feature would be the ability to load key sequences from a file or the ability to rewind, but I guess those features are not necessarily the biggest priority right now.

TASVideos lists here a list of features needed for a good rerecording emulator. The ability to load key sequences from a file as DJ described, also known as a movie file (not to be confused with AVI or GIF) is pretty much the minimum needed to implement, I think. Although I bet it's not the biggest priority, it would be nice to have Wabbitemu approved for use on TASVideos. The only approved emulator, Bizhawk, is barely able to emulate something.

* Juju points to wxwabbitemu It's getting pretty old and was forked from an old version, but it's nice to see it revived as well.

I'm glad to see work on Wabbit emu is being continued. It's been my emulator of choice for a long time. :D
