Nice update. DO you plan to port it to Linux and other platforms soon?

Thanks DJ_O! Yeah, i just might give it a go, but as usual, it very much depends on my mood and leisure time.

Can you port to Android? 

Hi khiconmtv,
Well, i actually did something last year along those lines (Nspiroid). I'm still sparing some extra money to buy an atom based (x86) tablet. Two daughters still studying away from home is quite an expense mind you. Then i just  might give it another try if i can find the time. For the normal arm-based android i also did some experimentation but i was somewhat disappointed with the lower performance vis-à-vis the x86 approach.
That's all i can say at the moment.
Cheers,

Dear all,

I have seen that whenever I start kArmTI, it boots from scratch instead of getting back to the status it had when I previously exited the emulator.

I can save the Flash and get back the filesystem with my documents when I restart.

But is there a way to exit the emulator in "stand by" mode, like when I just switch off the real calculator, so that when I switch it on again everything is back, including the status of the scratchpad?

I have this feature emulators for other calculators (like Graph 89, for the TI 89) and I find it very convenient for a "real usage".

Sorry if this is a silly question: I could not find any information on that and I am new both to kArmTI and to the TI-Nspire itself, but I would be surprised if this possibility does not exist.

By the way: great job!!!
The emulator seems to work quite well.

And it would be really great to have it running on Android: I am using Graph 89 for the TI-89 and it would be super to have also the TI_Nspire.

         

So basically the emulator lacks savestates? It would definitively be a nice feature addition, because it's pretty useful in WabbitEmu and other Z80 emulators, especially when testing a very long game and one that takes a long while to be installed.

I don't see the need of a state-save when you can save the flash and boot with it.
You basically just have to wait a few seconds until it's done booting, but that's all.
Just save your stuff (and the flash, duh) before quitting.

The cursor emulation, on the other hand, is a well known "problem" (as in, it has not been solved for some years now).

Also, the low on memory is RAM-related, not flash-related (so the "100 MB free" has nothing to do with it). It shouldn't be a problem anyway.

Well, the time you find your bug (then fix and recompile) is more than a few seconds, generally

And anyway, yes, it should be (also?) on the nspire_emu topic.

Hi guys!

A new kArmTI update (v1.75), this time only the x86 version (which runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit windows)

MODS:
A - Windows size: A few changes which will help using kArmTI on a small notebook.

A1. option to hide/show the menubar; a popup menu to replace the menubar.
A2. shorter SkinsManager
A3. shorter vertical UsbExplorer (not enough to fit on many, but we also have the horz UsbExplorer)

B - Skin transparency: Take care of skins with transparent regions (solution is not optimal but is is fast, blame M$)

C - SkinsManager:
C1. save all skins of the active keypad (KP) only.
C2. save a skins' selection (any) of the active keypad (KP). Now the SkinListview supports multi-selection. Use normal shift+ctrl keys.
C3. you may email the above saved-selection (C2) - as an attachement - with default 'subject': "kArmTI - Skins for you" and an empty 'body'. Actually, this only forks your system's default email client and fills in the 'subject' and the 'attachment' (the .skz archive). The user can then add the email 'recipients' and the 'body'. I find this handy to share skins among several windows computers of mine but can also be used to share skins with friends/colleagues.
C4. change (non-standard) skin archive extension from '.zskn' to '.skz'

E - UsbExplorer:
E1. Pseudo-extensions: file extensions should reflect, if possible, the file contents. Only about 22 file extensions are as of now recognized. But that already contributes a lot to unclutter the file view. Essentially, we get rid of the default '.tns' file extension whenever we can. This makes type-sorting more efficient and we can also assign colorful icons to those known file extensions. Have a close look at the screenie and you'll notice a more colorful view. (Let's hope i haven't messed up the previous working solution  )
E2. Nspire-Pane
Toolbar: a dropdown button with Most Recent Used (MRU) Tree selections; a refresh-selected-folder button
E3. Host-Pane
Toolbar: a delete-list-files button. Avoids the need to use the windows explorer.
E4. List Sorting: has been improved giving folders a higher priority in relation to files, so that they appear together as a group of items and not interspersed with files.
E5. List-columns order: the user can change the columns' order. This and the sorting-type is saved/restored to/from registry.
E6. Pane's internal horizontal splitter position is also made persistent.
E7. A Help dialog for Usb Explorer

F - FIXES (mostly cosmetic issues) to v1.65
F1. console:  toolbar width + color popups position
F2. kArmTI main window:  USB Explorer menu_item was not being checked when visible; keypad menu_items were not being checked (the active one)

As you can notice, i've touched a lot of aspects specially trying to improve the functionality of the UsbExplorer. So, please beware of new bugs (quite likely) and keep a copy of the previous version at hand.
