How to get virtual calculator?
« on: April 26, 2010, 06:34:09 am »
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

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

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

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.
