New nspire_emu 0.70 with CAS+ support !
« on: December 22, 2012, 02:43:19 pm »
Announced in a previous news, the new 0.70 version of nspire_emu by Goplat has finally been released tonight - a great Christmas present for everybody! :D

As promised, you now get TI-Nspire CAS+ emulation! ;D

In addition, it is now possible to virtually send files over RS232! ;D
This is very useful for the TI-Nspire CAS+! :D
But it is also useful to implement a more realistic behavior in different boot menus, and to extend the possibilities of development and testing of boot tools on emulator! ;D
(no need to take a real calculator and your RS232 interface until the final tests anymore) :P

The improved support of unaligned memory access now lets gpSP directly work in the emulator! ;D

Thanks. Proving the old GUI ...

Survey:

Which GUI-OS is better (TI-nspire CAS+ 2006) or the new (TI-nspire CAS 2007/.../2012)?

Whats up with the keyboard?  I never understood why it was laid out like that.

And why are there blanks?  Is that just in case you want to switch layouts and the other layouts take up the blanks?

The keyboard is laid out like that because the matrix is laid out like that :)

TI-73 through 86 (except MP OSes on 2nd boot). Turn the calc ON, end up straight on calculation screen, no need to search it.

How do I emulate Nspire CAS+ with OS version 1.0.1.0.334T.

Thanks for help!

I've tried to replace /MC with /MPC as mentioned in tutorial but nothnig happens.... The response using /MPC instead of /MC is that nspire_emu starts as no arguments were applied (shows all possible "command-line" arguments).

The right CAS+ option is /MP.
Code: [Select]
nspire_emu /1=your_casp_boot1 /PB=your_casp_boot2 /PO=your_casp_os /MP

For your first try, you should use Boot1/Boot2 1.0.526 and OS 1.0.529/1.0.554.
It works.

Older Boot2 are using a different format for OS images preloaded in memory or sent through RS232.
As it is not easy on the emulator side to guess which format is the right one, the /PO parameter uses the format suitable for the latest and more common CAS+ Boot2 (1.0.526).

For older Boot2 versions, you'll need to remove the /PO parameter, hexedit your OSes, add a specific header, and send the file using the Xmodem emulation.

For information:

The right CAS+ option is /MP.
MathPrint?? O.O

By the way, I wonder if this emulator can be resized so people can play games (almost) fullscreen like VirtualTI?

I've followed your instructions and succeded.
