I like the AVI capture idea :D. What codec does it uses by the way?

Thank you! ;)

Whatever codec is installed on your system.

Today i want to present to you a mockup of an emulator (based on the kArmTI) which includes the capability to move the graphic cursor (GC) using the pc-mouse. Is still in a very development stage (so, is not really very usable yet) however it already shows some features that may be worth to have a look at.
Just so that you know, to position the GC in the graphview, i currently use:
   * right-click on the LCD to set the GC target position;
   * left-click on the LCD to emulate the normal calc 'click';
   * middle-click on the LCD to reset the GC to the graph center.

The mockup is here:  
  

Tell me what you think and please help me decide if i should carry on with this effort.

Great idea, SpiroH - of course you should carry on! :)
Thank you! I'll try to find some spare time to tackle it.

Nice to see you (when it matters),
SpiroH ;)

That seems interesting. I wonder if it would be easy to perfectly emulate the TI-Nspire touchpad physical responsiveness outside Ndless programs? On a real calc, the touchpad is barely responsive, so certain people might like if they can test their games on emulators but still be able to see how well it will respond on the calc without having to test it on the real machine. :)

Wow... so interesting...
May you always enable touch-screen to select template or command from menu?

Well, the expression "perfectly emulate" is in itself a rather ambitious one. But on the other hand, the touchpad emulation is not dependent on Ndless.

I'm afraid good emulation depends a lot on having access to the real TI code... :P

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but in the graphview you can, indeed, use the graphic-cursor (in touch-mode) to access the drop-down documents-menu and the lower-bar entry line.
Also, you can always use the pc-keyboard QuickKeys (not yet implemented in wArmTI) to select either the 'template' or the 'menu'.
Hope this answers your question, at least partially. :-\

Great work guys but I am finding I have a bug. After a while of having the Calculator open the arrow keys in the calculator tends to freeze. I cannot navigate around the display. Arrow keys dont move the cursor nor does clicking on the buttons.
does anyone else experience the same problems?

Hi and welcome to Omnimaga,
Have you tried to click the (power) 'on' button? The emulator (also) enters a power-save state after some time of inactivity. To exit that state one needs to power it back again. That might be it?
Cheers,

Thanks SpiroH I'll give that a go. But since I posted I tried editing the boot commandline and now the exe wont start- kicking myself at the moment! :@ I redownloaded another copy and the exe no longer starts any idea what may be causing this? are there temp files on my pc somewhere since I edited the boot command line?

Please refer to the first page of this topic and follow the documentation links. I've written some quick-start guides that will help you.
As a last resort, you may also need to delete the registry key mentionned at the bottom of the first post. Be patient and good luck.
