OMG !!
That calculator is awesome, and that emulator is too !



In advanced graphs, you can draw Y=X², but also X=Y² !

To move on the graph screen, you just have to move your finger (the mouse here) on the screen !
The emulator includes several skins (see the first screenshot with an ugly skin and the two other ones with a beautiful one) !

I WANT THAT CALC !

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

That is great! :D I wonder if it's in English?

Also do you know if it runs at the same speed as the real calc? I am also curious if the BASIC language is the same as the HP 39gII as I read before.

Also warning: slow download lol. (it took 3.5 minutes for me)

I managed to install it in French on my computer so I guess English is also available (there is a choicebox at some point, and if French is in it, English surely is too).

Also do you know if it runs at the same speed as the real calc?
If so, I am buying one as soon as it comes out.

Well I am asking since the HP 39gII emu ran around 10000 times faster on the computer than the calc, so games were unplayable unless you added extremely long delays in games. It also made it hard to ensure that your games will be fast enough on the real calc. However, if the calculator has an identical processor to the HP 39gII but clocked much faster (the 39gII was clocked to 66 MHz), then I bet that somebody would be able to use sprites inside games (although scrolling would be impossible) by drawing them pixel by pixel.

Ok, given that nobody so far is asking the about the 'dear thing', i dare to ask: Does anybody know how much it will cost? BTW, the emulator is huge! (the installer is about 48MB?). I wonder what's is inside, maybe hundred plus languages, plus what? Anyway, it looks promissing and nice but IMHO the price will be the decisive factor, as usual ;).

One French site had it listed at something similar to the TI-Nspire CAS, from what I remember. EDIT Ninja'd

Does anyone know if there is any instruction manual available out there so we can learn how to program the thing in advance? :P

Thanks, but that's still rather expensive, i gather! Maybe northern_snow will manage to get some for us at China's price. Who knows about the future? I already order some items from China every now and then  :).

Doesn't this calculator have some kind of catalog menu? :P

Yes it does, but we still need to know the syntax for commands, which is lacking there.

And Yeah it is still overpriced as well. Of course, though, it's not as bad as TI due to the much larger specs, and especially not as bad as the ClassPad 400 which has performances that are even worse than the PRIZM and the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.

As for the HP 39gII speed for BASIC programs running at 66 MHz, this should give you an idea:





Now imagine at 400 MHz! O.O (assuming the larger screen and its color depth isn't a signifiant bottleneck)

Wow DJ that looks pretty fast. O.O
And yeah the 39gII is already far superior to the TI z80s hardware wise. Well optimized BASIC language makes it pretty fast.

Here are the available languages :


The emulator has a nice little screenie tool :

No animated screenshot support though. :/

Also you already have access to the 39gII manual in the help menu. Looks like it'll be similar to use.
Also it looks like the calc has help dialogs. ;) It has a dedicated button for that, but the dialogs are contextual unlike the useless Nspire help.

Diameter did the classic N-QUEEN benchmark from hpmuseum.
www.cncalc.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=9089
0.018s VS 0.4s
About 20 times faster. Not bad.
