Seems to work just fine on my real calc with 2.55MP.

Its probably a problem with BootFree. I have a new version that fixes some incompatibilities with the real bootcode that seems to run it just fine.

As for updates on this, I'm busy fixing some race conditions related to OS downloading and searching for files. Also barring any huge issues, the next update will have 84PCSE support, which is requiring a lot of additional testing.

What are the minimum specs requirements (processor speed, RAM, etc) to run a CSE ROM?

Not quite sure, I don't have access to a lot of hardware to really get a good feel for it. Right now the worst phone I have is an Inspire 4g (1 ghz, 768 MB ram), and I've managed to get 84PCSE usable on it. Its definitely got some lag to it, but it never maxes out its frame skips, which means the core is still running in real time, even if the display is dropping frames. On an S3 it runs pretty smoothly, no major frame drops.

I've made some major performance improvements, that have a pretty noticeable impact under normal operation for lower end devices.

If you want to be testing the latest features, I've added a beta build to the app store. You can opt-in by joining the group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wabbitemu-beta, and then following this link. Once you select 'Become a tester' you'll then automatically receive beta updates for Wabbit.

So I assume a 400 Mhz phone with 279 MB of RAM would not be close to enough? :P

I had an idea today while using this. Could you make the calculator resizable? I don't know how difficult that would be, but the idea would be to allow you to make the calculator larger so that it just barely fits on the screen.

The main motivation for this would be to make the calculator taller so that the "TI-84+ Silver Edition \n Texas Instruments" part is off screen. I realize you probably shouldn't have it like that by default due to potential copyright issues, but making it taller like that would help the aspect ratio of the calculator LCD.

Or maybe just a way to fix the aspect ratio of the LCD. (It's a little smashed vertically on my HTC one)

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

I believe that would have trouble running an 83p let alone a CSE. Depends on if you're on an ARMv7 processor.

Yeah this was always a concern for me, but didn't quite make it into initial release. I had some extra time so I added the following options:
1. Use correct screen aspect ratio
2. Make screen as large as possible

When used together this should solve your issue, although it doesn't look pretty. I've pushed out a new beta with these settings available.
