Yeah it would probaly be better to use a rom dump rather than actually coding the system calls by myself, but emulating the hardware of the TI-83+ such as the lcd screen and linkport will stil be challenging.
IIRC, the header for fx-9860G addins had a couple of spots that were just blank filler just to mess with us.
One thing to make sure with an emulator is that it emulates everything correctly. The TI-Nspire 84+ emulator doesn't even do that, even though TI coded it.I wonder how fast would it be, though...
Yes I just got one yesterday

A few years? A few weeks?

VirtualTI came out 1 year after the 83+ arrived, but it did not emulate the archive.
