It is actually not possible to run as an App at the moment. I assemble into a .rom file and run it in wabbitemu :)

Sorry if you already mentioned this somewhere, but how is compatibility coming along for those of us with just 48k of memory (if it's being planned at all, that is)?

It is currently in the works. :)

In fact the screenshots he posted are from that version. It's coming along slowly, though. I assume it must be a major hassle to get to work right on those models. X.x

I wonder how different is the speed...

Speed should be faster in general, if the cpu core optimizations say anything. I probably could have written the original to run on 48kb, if only I knew they existed at the time. Well... actually, it would have been a hassle to not cause a RAM clear because I would be using all of the 48kb. But in the new version I am going to save the RAM to Flash, so it shouldn't be much of an issue :)

Will it have to garbage collect often?

Not at all. The storage area is temporary, and outside the filesystem. The OS keeps a 64KB "swap" sector of Flash free for backing up other sectors before erasing them. Since I'm not doing any archiving or unarchiving during the emulation, this backup of RAM will be untouched until I restore it after emulation.

Actually, BrandonW has now informed me of another 64KB area on the 83+SE and up that is never really used by the OS. I'll probably use this instead, because

1) It is at a constant location, unlike the swap sector.
2) This sector is almost never used, whereas the swap sector is used a ton of times by the OS. So, this is a lot less likely to help TI kill your flash.
