TI-89 emulator for the TI-Nspire?
« on: December 26, 2009, 11:36:12 pm »
After Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulation, here comes TI-89 HW2 emulation!



An image equals over 9000 words, so nothing else needs to be said.

OMG!
TI is gonna be mad when they find out what their N-Spire is going to be used for in the near future!

EDIT: By the way, who managed to do this?
EDIT2: Never mind, I saw the topic in the forums.

TI-Nspire, the ultimate TI calculator.

It would be impressive to make the Nspire run all calcs from TI-81 to TI-Voyager.

Let them be mad... They can't hurt us :P Muhahahah!

Indeed, a "combined calc" would be nice!

They might actually be happy about it.  Considering many in the calc programming community despise the Nspire because of its lack of (asm) programming capabilities, an emulate-everything capability would get us to buy Nspires.

It will disastrous if TI-Nspire (non-CAS) gets to run some 68k with CAS (I don't know if they have but I guess that yes). Teachers would complaint and using TI-Nspire on exams where supposedly CAS is not permitted entered a dilemma:
 Prohibit Nspire leads to students and parents uprising
 Block/Reset every Nspire (like PTT) but there will be some patches/hacks to this, too.
 Don't mind about Nspire new capabilities. Easy "cheating".
There are some other solutions where there is not point to discuss.

So TI gets mad. But not about that bad on quick, strange sales of Nspire calcs. xD

The Nspire isn't a CAS?  Many of the professors at my university will not allow it at all because of the symbolic operations it can do (I've never really used one, so I'm going off of third-party information).

There are two versions - one has a CAS, and the other has CAS features locked (but has a TI-84+ keypad/emulator)

Scarily enough this is a very big possibility. It would make all their other calculator models obsolete in one fell swoop. It would however put a large focus on the Nspire, which seems to be what they want. It's really hard to say how they react.

What I think is that teachers will have to make sure people got the original Nspire OS installed to use their calc in exams, altough it might be hard for those who are computer-illiterate.

Also Idk if TI could do anything because all that is illegal is distributing ROMs or if you don't have the calc, download them.

I don't think many teachers would come by the knowlage.  Most (if not all) of the math teachers at my school don't require so much as a RAM clear before tests, and don't know that the calculator has programing functions.  It might only be my school though :P

yeah it depends of places. Over here most teachers were well aware of programming on calcs, but not OS replacement (again, back then, third party OSes on TI calcs were not something really common)

In my school programming is not looked down upon, as almost all students have been taught how to make a simple "Notes" program that stores info that can be acessed by editing the program.  I have never had a teacher require a RAM clear or even anything close.  There have been calculator-less quizes and tests, but no RAM clears. :)

Over here, most tests just rendered math programs obsolete, because you had to write down the entire solution to the problem as well as all major calculations you did to solve it.

True, that's what I have to do.  Of course to get that I sometimes have to "err:break" my programs. :)
