I need to find a virtual calculator that I can send programs to, since my family can't afford one. Can somebody please help me?
-
Do you mean an emulator to be able to run a calculator on the computer? If so the best one IMHO would be WabbitEmu. It's normally located at Revsoft, but their site has been down for 3 weeks, so you have to download the copy we have http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=488
You need to get a calculator ROM image, though, which we cannot provide link/help finding them, due to legal reason. It is possible to dump one from your calc, however, using Rom8x on ticalc.org: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/373/37341.html
If you absolutely don't want to have to use ROMs, one emulator won't require any, but it's very crappy. The link is http://education.ti.com/educationportal/downloadcenter/SoftwareDetail.do?website=US&appId=177

You can also use the .clc file installed with the emulator from Ti's site with wabbit and then you get a good emulator with a free rom.
-
Oh I didn't knew those worked in WabbitEmu. Nice to know next time someone asks for a ROM ^^
I should maybe start a topic about ROM images at one point.
-
I personally really like Virtual TI. It's windows only, but it has skin support and can link to calcs directly through the black or parallel link cable. It also, I've heard, has sound support!
-
Well IMHO WabbitEmu is much better for 83+ emulation, because Virtual TI lacks the archive memory support and only works with old 83+ ROMs, not even the SE/84+. I also had a lot of issues running some 83+ games that didnt even use RAM, like crashes
-
And doesn't WabbitEmu support sound too?
-
it does, and at least it isn't deafening like VTI. In VTI, you set your volume to minimum and you still hear it from headphones from a different room x.x

YES! I got TI's TI emu for my class, and could'nt send stuff to it. Thank you so much!

And their site is down :P
-
Altough VTI is still available on ticalc.org
-
Thanks Jonimus for letting us know on the .clc files! Neat tip! ;D
-
Apparently I also need a skin with clickable buttons, like the one that came with TI's emu, help? I can't do much programming if I cannot enter any menus.
-
Doesn't Wabbitemu come with skin support?
-
Yes, I click "show skin" or whatever and there is nothing.
-
Btw what Windowws version doyou have? I reported this to Buckeye, but it might be nice to know what OS do you use
-
XP
-
Ok thanks. I reported both your problem and Mieshe91, but I did not know your Windows version. He got XP too. This seems like an XP issue.
-
Ok. I understand.
....oh **** I can't program on this thing.
Is there a Windows program that lets me program- but then I can't use the programs on the calc...
-
program, you mean like c# or ti-basic. I recommend visual C#/C++/C for the computer (in windows) and for ti-basic: SourceCoder on cemetech.net is kinda good (I don't understand it that well, but I could get used to it), but the upside to SC is you can type out the code. http://sc.cemetech.net

thecnoNSMB you can code on it, you can send the files to the computer. It's just hidden very well. Just make sure to backup/save often.
Right click screen, go to Calculator, then click Variables. Drag the stuff you want on the computer desktop or a folder.

SourceCoder's a nice BASIC programming tool, except that it doesn't support Y-vars. Whenever it takes a Y1, for example, it converts it to Y<span size=6>1</span>, which gets pretty annoying once you export it.

I don't like that issue, too. Maybe we can submit to Kerm to update SC.

I discovered that when I was editing OTBP Assembler (since my calculator, for some reason, treated the main program as a null variable). After I got it on my calculator, I had to go through the code and change every r<span size=6>1</span>.
And that reminds me: Has anyone notified OTBP about their assembler bug? I tried to post a report, but their website didn't let me register an account, for some reason.
-
I think OTBP forums registrations were disabled because it was being invaded by spambots. In fact, I heard they get more bandwidth than every other website hosted on TI-Freakware webspace, just to tell how many bots they had.
