He can't send it out yet even due to rom legality issues.

plus it's hard to define a release date with real life, school, work and other issues (bugs)

It's not just coping the source from my understanding he has to make a compiler to change it to z80 code.
That was the original idea, but it turns out I'm just pasting the literal data from the rom into my app.

*bump*

Okay, I've run into a serious problem which involves the TI-OS. When I delete an APP and the emulator is moved in the defragmentation, AN ENTIRE APP PAGE WILL BECOME BLANK (filled with $ff). Just so you know, this happens every time with Link's Awakening and it's happened once with Super Mario Land 2 (but I've only tried it once), and both of these APPs are 34 pages large. Could some TI-OS guru help me out here? This is a very bad problem...

ouch this sucks x.x

Does resetting the archive/memory fixes the problem or is it permanent? I hope it's not the later... but regardless I hope there's a fix since it's rather bad x.x

Nah, it's not permanent. There's just a problem with moving the app, it seems. Also, since I went through several defragmentations (I was deleting a bunch of apps) and only one page got cleared, I'm thinking the same one will be cleared every time? *shrug*

Okay, we (meaning mostly FloppusMaximus and slightly me) have diagnosed the problem. This happens with any app pages which start with $ff due to the OS believing a page is blank if this is the case.

He can't send it out yet even due to rom legality issues.

I doubt he would receive any REAL problems with the rom in emulator, ie.  companies only deal with "pirating" if they lose money. Let alone one that hasn't been manufactured and sold for at least 10 years.There is a whole big business downloading roms  and the such *snip*

Calc84Maniac I think you should just post a disclaimer/warning whenever you release. Its only illegal if you don't OWN the rom.  but who didn't own  super mario /original gameboy. ;)

also there is an actual gameboy emulator thats already been created for the TI-89, TI-92+, and V200 calculators.  makes me wish i had one not an 84+

Sorry you are not allowed to link to ROM sites (unless it would be a homebrew-only ROM site) on the forums, it's against the rules, so I removed the link from your post.

Also, if I decided when this emulator is released to provide copies of the emulator with copies of the games included in it on Omnimaga website/forums, I could get in trouble with my hosting provider if they somehow discovered there are commercial games (despite no longer in production for most part) avaliable for download on the site in some form. This would be the same thing with any hosting provider who has "no copyrighted software distribution/piracy" in their Terms Of Service. This is not to mention one day Nintendo might scan sites for piracy of their old games, especially that now they offer a lot of them on the Wii virtual console and that some were re-released on the GBA a few years ago.

That said, someone seeking for rom files to convert in 8xk format to use with his emulator who will ask on our forums will simply get redirected to google, which should let them find whatever they want. Hopefully, Calc84maniac will also provide easy to use tools to convert the rom files to 8xk format.

As for the 68k emulator I remember this from a year or two ago, I haven't tried it yet but it seems pretty nice. I need to check this some day for my TI-89 Titanium

This is just proof of concept at the moment, but I tried adding grayscale (it makes it quite a bit slower, but could possibly be improved in the future). I guess it's just to show myself it could be done. :P
