TiEmu 2.00 released
« on: August 26, 2005, 03:45:00 am »
Someone e-mailed me about recent TI-emu release and some info. Finally, a complete version of TiEmu, an emulator for the TI-89, TI-89 Titanium, TI-92, TI-92+, and V200PLT hand-helds, has been released for http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/370/37014.html and http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/370/37015.html systems. (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/371/37152.html version is still in rc8 state.)  The new version has many features, now including:

-full-featured graphical debugger (source, memory, breakpoints, traps, vectors, stack, trace, ...)
-debugger supports : run, step in, step over, step out, run to cursor
ability to load/save the emulator state
-file linkport emulation (direct loading of files)
-works with 1/2/4 MB ROMs, 128 or 256 KB RAM
-emulate HW1, HW2, and HW3
-can run from ROM dumps or FLASH upgrades
-automatic ROM version/model detection
-constrast emulated (try [Alt] +
  • & [-])

-pretty fast emulation engine
-sreenshot of LCD and/or calculator in several images format (JPG/PNG/ICO)
-TI keyboard useable directly from PC keyboard or with the mouse on the skin
-archive memory support as well as ghost spaces
-TiEmu features much more abilities, which can be found at the http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/.  This is the first emulator to work with newer Titanium and V200PLT models, which was not available from VTI, unless you knew a few tricks ;)wink.gif  Note that linkport emulation has not been tested with USB cable yet.

This is fantastic news for 68k programmers and program-users because it enables much more efficient coding and testing!

I'll add the new version in the Omnimaga archive when I'll have more time.

Depends on your computer...VTI is better for me, but once i get my new one (2GB RAM, Athlon 3700+) some time soon, there shouldn't be any difference performance wise.

I tried the early beta, and it was shaky, especially when i tried testing GB68K which plain didnt work.  Though I was watching TICT forums and it seems thats resolved, at least as far as what Kevin Kofler was saying.

Its a better alternative for me to emalate a TI-89t, but for screenshotting, I think VTI is more appropriate.

Meh, I didn't get as far as to test greyscale, but I heard it was good.  Greyscale is tricky to emulate, but it appears that they did a good job.
