Ah ok. For some reasons, I have no speed problem using TI-BASIC programs, though. But I never tried an ASM one. TI would need to fix these incompatibilities issues, but I doubt that will happen and nobody has been able to decrypt the OS yet to be able to make a new one or run ASM stuff on it

Oh, ASM programs works, but a very small portion has problems. For example, MirageOs will crash, unless you install some patch

That would be cool, I think there was something like this for the TI-89 back then but the project never got finished. It was called TI-NESulator

I think NES is slightly bigger. The only issue would be to work around the lack of colors

Yeah, judging by the amount of lag that occurs on a simple z80 gameboy, i think that trying to emulate a full color game might push the calc beyond its limit Hopefully we are able to break into the nSpires formidable resources though.

I wonder what CPU a NES and which speed it runs, though, since it's older than the GB. NES came out in 1985 and GB in 1989

For its central processing unit (CPU), the NES uses an 8-bit microprocessor produced by Ricoh based on a MOS Technology 6502 core. It incorporates custom sound hardware and a restricted DMA controller on-die. To save some space on the silicon, the Ricoh CPU omitted the 6502s BCD (binary coded decimal) command. NTSC (North America and Japan) versions of the console use the Ricoh 2A03 (or RP2A03), which runs at 1.79 MHz. PAL (Europe and Australia) versions of console utilize the Ricoh 2A07 (or RP2A07), which is identical to the 2A03 save for the fact that it runs at a slower 1.66 MHz clock rate and has its sound hardware adjusted accordingly.


The NES contains 2 KB of onboard work RAM. A game cartridge may contain expanded RAM to increase this amount. It also has 2 KB of video RAM for the use of the picture processing unit (PPU), 256 bytes of sprite RAM and some palette RAM. The system supports up to 32 KB of program ROM at a time, but this can be expanded by orders of magnitude by the process of bank switching. Additionally, cartridges may contain 8 KB of SRAM and 8,168 bytes (nearly 8 KB) of address space reserved as "Expansion Area." Expanded Video memory (VROM or VRAM) may also be available on the cartridge. (on-cartridge mapping hardware also allowing further Video expansion past 12 KB)

 

As long as I get /something/ on my NSpire. I can't stand it not working! Grrrr....

I'd rather have the GameBoy, though. But the NES would be beyond awesome, too.
