Hmmm...I see that devkitPro is also a gcc-based toolchain. It should be possible.

That would be nice if it actually made developement easier. ASM can be rather hard to program for because the code ends up so long. Libraries would be very welcome for people who prefer higher level programming rather than having to code 10 lines of code just to do a simple thing.

As for UTI it appears to work fine for me. I can access it fine at the moment. However, you need to register an account to download attachments there, which sucks. A copy of the emu, despite not being up to date, is available in our downloads section:

Oh wait I forgot about TI-BANK having a copy

However I never managed to understand how to get the calc skin version to work. I checked all help and even asked for some, and no one responded

So I stuck with Goplat's version and the annoyances of having to go through Command Prompt everytime to launch it.

Yeah, the links that I provided have those batch files. Try them DJ, I'm sure they'll greatly simplify your usage of the emulator.

The thing with DevkitPro is that each device you develop with has its own set of libraries. We would probably have to write our own input, link and display libraries to support grayscale.

Thanks for the emulator links. To write (or change) a batch file open it with notepad, and make sure to save it as a .bat. (unless you're running linux, then you can just edit and run the text files, but for windows commands make sure to use wine!)

EDIT: Sweet! There's a Linux version, and it works!!!!!

Hmm, it is case sensitive, isn't it?

BTW for DevkitPro to work, we need to write a lib that does the same things as libnds or libgba for the nspire. Everything else is there. libNDS has the following in it:
2D Engine API:
 -General Video
 -2D Sprites
 -2D Backgrounds
3D Engine API:
 -OpenGL (ish)
 -Box Test
 -Position Test
Audio API:
 -Simple Sound Engine
 -MaxMod
Math:
 -Hardware Assisted Math
 -Fixed Point Trigonometry Functions
Memory:
 -General Memory Definitions
 -NDS and GBA header Structure
 -Direct Memory Access
System
 -Custom DS types
 -Hardware Initilization
 -Bios
 -ARM 9 Cache
 -Interrupts
 -Fifo
 -Timers
User Input/ouput
 -Keypad and Touch pad
 -Keyboard
 -Console and Debug Printing
Utility
 -Decompression
 -Image Manipulation
 -PCX file loader
 -General Purpose Data Structures
Custom Peripherals
 -Rumble Pack
 -DS Motion Pack
Debugging
 -Debug via printf to DS screen or NO$GBA
 -Send message to NO$GBA

Obviously, the Nspire Library would differ in many ways, but it shows what the Library needs to implement over the devkitARM core.

Hmm...I was born in '93, but we had a realy old computer with 3.1 on it. 3.1 was so bugged up it wouldn't even start, so I used MS-DOS. I was 4, and it was easy for me. I like text more than guis anyways. Half the time in linux I use the terminal anyways  
Never messed around much with other language windows. not much call for it here in good ol' utah


EDIT: Anyone want some source code? Here's LibNDS!!!!!

Would've been a tar.bz2 and 80 KB less, but those aren't allowed here.

Be warned, they have their own (short) license, so read it and make sure you follow their rules.
