Let's compare Lua to Javascript: People have written NES emulators in Javascript, and they are slow even on a modern PC. The TI-Nspire has a much slower processor than a PC, and Lua is even less suited for emulation than Javascript; it not only has the big problem of not having typed variables (any variable in JS or Lua can point to an object of any type, so the runtime has to do a type check on every operation), but also doesn't even seem to have bitwise operators (which are used extensively in emulators and are inefficient to build out of other operators).
Not to mention Lua is in constant danger of seeing functions removed in future OS versions (like what happened to sound in OS 3.1.0)

The 1970s pong consoles weren't programmable; everything was done in hardware. So "emulating" one would just mean writing a pong game. :p

Solution: Code them :)

Also, it may be a good idea to change the title, because it implies that an emulator was already made.

True. Anyway the NES emu will most likely arrive on the CX after Ndless 3.0 did.

I don't think they are going to remove any more functions like this though, but rather add new cool stuff ;)

Yeah me too. I was just worried because of new OSes already removing stuff. But again, that stuff wasn't documented.
