Ncubate does not support Ndless 1.7, which is what qazz42 is using.

Did that link work?  If not, use the version of the emulator on page 43 of "Mission:  Hack the Nspire" on United TI.

United-TI has attachments disabled for guests, meaning guests must register an account to download Goplat's latest emulator version. I do not feel like registering a new forum account, especially since it's against the rules anyway (and in my case, would fall under ban evasion).

I don't know of any other way to get the latest version of the emulator besides from there.  That is the only version that supports Ndless 1.7.  Any other version of the emulator (including Ncubate) can be used for Ndless 1.1.  The NES emulator, I believe, works with both versions of Ndless.  Sorry for any trouble this causes.

Ah ok. Maybe I could ask someone for a copy when I need it. Right now I use version 0.2.0 because it's all setup with the ROM and batch files (thanks to Bwang) and I was worried it may not work with the new version.

EDIT: I don't think this belongs in C programming anymore, especially with Goplat involved (I think he uses ASM) and due to the fact it sounds more like a project/idea than programming help/tutorial/discussion, so I moved it to Other Calc-Related Projects And Ideas.

[qazz42]

err, I am using the one on TI-Bank

[DJ Omnimaga]

Oh wait they have it too. I forgot . Do they have the latest version, though?

Also, if you mean the one with a GUI, I never got it to work, though. I tried understanding how to install it and run it, to no avail. I asked help too, but no one responded.

[qazz42]

actually, I dont think so...

and there is a gui one!?!? where?

[DJ Omnimaga]

I forgot what is the name. You would need to search their site. Levak worked on that version. Extended also had a version called Ncubate, but I forgot if it had a GUI or not..

legend of zelda and 1942 do not work

[Goplat]

Final Fantasy doesn't work

It does now! (Not that you would ever want to play it with no ability to save your game )

[apcalc]

New emulator version!

* apcalc downloads!

[Happybobjr]

only improve final fantasy? or does it do more?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Awesome! Also:

Final Fantasy doesn't work

It does now! (Not that you would ever want to play it with no ability to save your game )

That implies this new version adds savestates, right?

[Goplat]

only improve final fantasy? or does it do more?

Mapper 1 is now implemented, which is used by various games (including Final Fantasy 1 and 2, Metroid, and Zelda 1 and 2). Also, SMB1 is now playable although the status bar is glitchy.

I also implemented some speed-related controls - press a number from 1 to 6 to set frameskip (default is 3), press * to fast forward.

That implies this new version adds savestates, right?

No, there is no kind of saving yet.

[Happybobjr]

this is great  thanks

so when's the next update?  lol jk

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok nice. Thanks for the info

If I try it, I will most likely set framerate to be low, due to the low quality LCD display the Nspire provide us (blurry)
