Lookin good! :w00t:  I have a suggestion (i know its still beta), the follow sprite option is a little buggy in Kirby's Dream Land.  For example when Kirby is flying or sucking up enemies, the screen shakes crazily, even zoomed out.  And sometimes the screen ends up in the sky and I'll have to zoom out, disable the follow, and zoom back in.

He's said that he'll try to make a "smarter sprite follow", so I guess wait for that ;)
I am aware that the camera jumps around in that case (which happens to be because the air sprites replace Kirby in the sprite list temporarily). I plan on making a smarter sprite follow feature in future version.

Pokemon blue runs just fine ^^ Greyscale looks great, a bit of lag here and there but overall works very nice. Seems to run at about the same speed as the alpha version, but in greyscale, which is awesome.
In-progress: Graviter (...)

If you mean the 83PBE, then no.  I might suggest reading through the readme :P
It works for 83PSE, 84PBE and 84PSE.

Quote from: readme
Introduction:
  TI-Boy SE is a Game Boy emulator (no Game Boy Color support) for the TI-83+SE, TI-84+, and TI-84+SE calculators. Do not expect incredible compatibility.
  This was rewritten from scratch since the Alpha version, specifically to support newer TI-84+/TI-84+SE calculators (which have smaller RAM chips).
  TI-83+ and TI-Nspire are not supported, and never will be.

If you have a save file for say, Link's Awakening, if a new beta version comes out and I send that version of Link's awakening to my calculator will the old 8kb save file still work?

Or do I just have to start the whole game over?

I believe that calc84 said old save files would work, since they just store data. The game ROM itself should determine how the data is stored, so it shouldn't change between betas.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

This is pretty awesome.  There's a big difference in framerate between this and alpha, which is great.  The grayscale is also a lot better compared to alpha.

I hate to ask this since it's probably been asked many times, but will beta eventually have support for sound again?  I know it's not really necessary or anything, but I always thought it made TI-Boy even more amazing.

Oh, ok lol.
Because I deleted the whole save file from the alpha version in link's awakening  :(
Now I have to start the whole thing over and I don't want that to happen again.

I heard that TI-Boy's sound is gone D:
Are you gonna put it back later?
Nope, due to the emulation rewrite it's impossible to use interrupts (which is what made sound possible in the first place)
Sig wipe!

Off-topic, but Kirby's Dreamland suddenly seems less graphic-intensive after taking advantage of some new options...
Makes it a bit easier to play actually :P

That screenshot was taken in fully zoomed-out mode, which takes longer to render the screen than other zoom modes. It has to draw the entire screen, not just a small visible window of it, and then has to scale it down and apply dithering. The emulator will generally run much faster at 100% scale, with 100% black-and-white being about 1.6x as fast as 50% in my experience.
