Hey guys,

the KnightOS team having started (more than started actually) working on z80e, a z80 emulator written in C, and after me porting it to Windows (it uses SDL), I thought about porting it to the TI-Nspire. And guess what ? I did

Be warned : the emulator itself not being finished, the Nspire version isn't either. Of course, I plan to mirror progress that's being made on the PC version to the Nspire version.

So far it doesn't actually run the TI-OS, but it does run the attached KnightOS ROM. You'll still see that some things aren't right, but that's really the emulator's fault. Also, it'll work both with Ndless 3.1 and Ndless 3.6, the PRG version being for Ndless 3.1.
I don't release the code yet because I still have a huuuuuge lot of clean-up to do, due to the Nspire not using many features that the PC version uses (like the CLI debugger).

But yeah, do check out the attachements. Please let me know about any bug that might crash or freeze your calc, and in what circumstances. Those may be known emulation problems, or not.

EDIT : oops, forgot to put control scheme.

So yeah, control scheme so far :

TI-84+SE key	TI-Nspire key
F1	A
F2	B
F3	C
F4	D
F5	E
Down, left, right, up	Down, left, right, up (click on touchpad calcs)
2nd	Ctrl
Alpha	Shift
Enter	Enter
Clear	Menu
Mode	Esc
Del	Del
Numkeys	Same numkeys
ON	Tab

You can exit the emulator at any time by pressing Q. If it doesn't work, then that's pretty much that the emulator itself is stuck, and not the emulation.

EDIT 2 : screenshot ! How could I have forgotten that.



EDIT 3 : dayum, forgot to compile with -Ofast. Attachment updated !

Congratz for the feature on ticalc !
Pretty well deserved in my opinion mainly thanks to awesome sprites

Well you can unstrike this if it featured ugly developer art, it wouldn't have been the same ^^ thanks to everyone who did sprites for that !

Thanks guys ! Also remember it's not even nearly done there is much more awesomeness to come !

On the other hand it isn't clear for me that Eeems' behaviour is the cause of it, maybe it's a bit too easy to just blame him?

We're not saying Eeems's behaviour is the only cause of the change of atmosphere. We're saying it's ONE cause we experienced and we can discuss on. As geekboy put it, most admin stuff happens behind the scenes, so we don't actually have anything to say about it. What we can't tolerate though, is one admin being explicitely mean and unfair to members, and because it's an admin nobody said anything about it until then.

To all Omnimaga members, regular and staff.

We offer to you the present petition as a terrain of discussion about the diverse problems that have been affecting Omnimaga lately, generally a noticeable faulty behavior from site administrators, and precisely about Eeems, owner of said statute.

After a session of thoughts sharing, we, Hayleia, aeTIos, DJ_Omnimaga, Juju, Keoni29, turiqwalrus, Sorunome, harold, Streetwalrus, matrefeytontias, feel that behavior adjustements are required in order to maintain the previously-ideal atmosphere of the Omnimaga community. We would like to bring to your consideration the following points :

- lately, Eeems has been modifying features of the site that could have bothered the user experience of Omnimaga members, and this without any prior consent from any member, and in this case with the explicit disagreement of a support staff : http://chat.eeems.ca:9003/?server=irc.omnimaga.org%206667&channel=omnimaga&date=Thu%20Nov%2006%202014#1415302519917
- in similar situations, Eeems said having the right to perform such modifications as he is the one paying for the hosting of the site. While we all thank him for this, this fact shouldn't become an excuse for making alone decisions that could affect greatly, and in any way, user experience.
- the co-owner group now only contains Eeems and geekboy, when it used to include way more people like rcfreak0 and Netham45 (the latter holding the full legal rights on the domain, as shown when entering "omnimaga.org" as a domain name here : http://whois.pir.org/). If it was the result of group reorganization, no Omnimaga user was notified of such action unlike the news item located here says it would happen : http://www.omnimaga.org/news/the-status-of-our-staffing-and-the-changes-that-are-being-made/
- despite Omnimaga being meant to be a friendly place of interest sharing, free speech, and overall amusement, we feel that Eeems treats it too much like a professional responsibility, thus harming the enjoyment of members.
- the Omnimaga IRC chat has been made by Netham45 then Sorunome to be a free place of discussion. In our opinion, Eeems has proven irrelevant over-restrictiveness several times. We feel that he has been forcing people to join a different channel to carry discussions about certain topics he doesn't like, while there is no topic restriction for the #omnimaga channel.

Overall, we think that Eeems should prove more humble behavior, both towards site members and the site itself. It goes by accepting (and actually requesting) others' opinions and taking into account negative feedback. While we perfectly understand the privileges given by the statute of site administrator, we think it should not be mistaken with the statute of absolute ruler.

We would like to explicitely specify that we don't want Eeems to be demoted, but that if he fails to correct his behavior we will be forced to go in favor of his demotion.

The goal of this petition is to permit all Omnimaga members, regular and staff, to express themselves on the issues presented here. Should you agree with our point of view, please let us know as soon as possible by any way you would like, while giving priority to public means of communications and especially the Omnimaga forums, while keeping in mind your word will be used as pressure power if extreme conditions make it needed. If you don't want your opinion to be revealed, please don't express yourself on this matter.

Don't bother trying, it's a Fullrene bug that was never fixed. I had exactly the same problem with IkarugaX, my workaround was to just return from the program without going through Fullrene's exit handler.

What I can do for direction is choose between "touch controls", "click controls" or numpad. I don't really want full key customization for direction because the way I implemented it it'd be slowing the game down a little.

4 years ago I followed the French Axe tutorial (the biggest Axe tutorial that you can find on the internet) and I saw Omnimaga as a community forum in English. Since I was quite good at English at the time (I was still 12, let's stay realistic), I decided to come here.

How did you get to Axe? How did you get hold of a TI calc at 12?

Sorry I was actually 13. I had a TI calc because I entered highschool (I skipped a year of school), and I made sure to get a TI-83+ because I noticed the Axe tutorial by sheer luck on some (huge) French programming tutorial base.
