Hi, this thread has been sort of dead. Let's shake it up a bit. So What?

(I can't insert the image inline! why is that?)
This is a different GUI for the ti-nspire emulator made by Goplat.
It is capable of emulating the CX and CX cas versions (ONLY!)

Some features:
1. Simple to use: Provide the cx boot image(s) + the flashrom(s) and off you go.
2. Simple onscreen keyboard, almost matching the real devices.
(Most of alpha-keys are left-out, but you can always use the keyboard).
3. Light: No debugger, only a simple logger. So no real nspire-programming is expected (yet?).

If you try it, please leave some feedback here. Maybe i'll improve it in the my coming holidays.

Cheers,
SpiroH

EDIT1: (20July12)
As some of you know, this topic has as of the 17July2012 been split from its parent thread Ti-Nspire Emulator. That's the main reason why this first post appears as coming out of nowhere (the blue)

.

To help out new users reading this topic, so that they can have a faster access to the current version of kArmTI and its documentation, I leave here the respective links:
kArmTI_v1.27+SkinEditor+QuickStart Documentation
kArmTI_v1.27 Help + Sample Skins + Sample AnimGIFs

EDIT2: (15Aug12)
Revision kArmTI_v1.28

EDIT3: (27Aug12)
Revision kArmTI_v1.29

EDIT4: (14Sep12)
Revision kArmTI_v1.30

EDIT5: (07Oct12)
Revision kArmTI_v1.31 - includes a Video Capture Tool (AVI )
Skin Editors: SkinEditor_v1.05 and SkinEditor_v1.07
More Skins: Skins1 and Skins2

EDIT6: (28Jan13)
About a month ago, on the 26th of Dec12, I've released a new version of kArmTI,v1.40 which implements unaligned memory transfers (UMTs) based on the new code of nspire_emu v0.70. So far, i've not received any complaints about it, so you might as well give it a try. In principle, it allows you, for example, to run the console emulator gpSP which requires UMTs support.

EDIT7: (03Jul13): a simple preview: <11Mar16: this youtube video was removed>

EDIT8: (08Nov13) kArmTI_v1.50 - includes a 'Skins Previewer' tool, an updated html Help file and some minor cosmetic fixes.

EDIT9: (11Apr14) kArmTI v1.60 - a slightly re-designed GUI + a couple of bug-fixes.

EDIT10: (01Sep15) kArmTI v1.79 - nspire_emu v0.70's nonaligned memory accesses are re-included.

EDIT11: (11Mar16) kArmTI v1.80 (x86) - latest stable release; kArmTI v1.81 (x86) - preliminary support for the new TI-OS4.2.

FAQS:

Q1: kArmTI crashes and I don't see any window anymore. How do I go about it?
A1: Please delete the following registry key: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ScrapLab\kArmTI_v1.XY"
(where X and Y may vary, e.g. 'kArmTI_v1.07) and restart. This will restore 'defaults'.

Hmm this actually looks pretty interesting.

You should be able to insert inline pictures with [img][/img] tags.

Wow this looks great

Congratulations !!

Also yes : could you add support for the console (so we get access to debug)
BTW : why not put as a frame background the .svg (or HD jpg) of the Nspire CX ?

You can find a HQ picture you could use as a background here : http://www.schoolmart.com/images/products/detail/DAD004.jpg

Also, will you share the source ?

BUG correction: Please use the new download!

The new executable v0.81 is here:
http://www.filedropper.com/spirohv81

I've also replaced the key 'w' by the 'comma' which is harder to map for all keyboard layouts.

This version is aimed mostly at noob users (around 97% ??), which only need a 'cheap' means to use the calculator.
I plan to add the debugger + maybe some skins, when i can find some spare time.
Until next time.

@SpiroH
Can you send my 2 files: Boot1cx.img and T310CX_CAS.bin?
I cannot start emulator...
Thanks so much.

Wow looks nice SpiroH, also welcome on the forums. Hopefully your version is more user-friendly than the others.

Also to other members, remember to keep any ROM/img/copyrighted file sharing activities outside of Omnimaga.

Juju · « **Reply #8 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:44:03 pm »

I think those files are copyrighted by TI, we can't distribute them, so you have to find them yourself.

Also yay a friendly interface

Hi,its me again.
Now I'm presenting a new version for the gui, a bit more bloated than the previous one (SpiroH_v081),
which I've named 'kArmTI' (kArma-TI) with the following features:

1. Boot Options: supports several calculators monochrome + colour
2. Keypad skins for Touchpad + Clickpad
3. Debug Console
4. Extra display with zoom
5. Simple Animated GIF tool

Hope some of you (at least) will like it and will post some feeback.

Executable + skins + skineditor:

This was an old tutorial I made, but it may help you on how to create the rom

Maybe that (in french too)

No CXCAS ...

Just create it by your own using command line

Code: [Select]

nspire_emu.exe /1=boot1.img.tns /MXC /PO=os_cxcas.tcc

Then when the OS is installed use File > save flash.

And run it with

Code: [Select]

nspire_emu.exe /1=boot1.img.tns /F=31CXCAS.rom /N
You can get your boot1 using polydumper :

SpiroH by animated gif tool, do you mean tools to create animated screenshots? That would definitively be a nice tool, providing the resulting screenshots are not too large in size

(such as early WabbitEmu screenshots, which, when set to 9 FPS in 192x128 format, took about 8 MB of space per minute of capture)
