Sound might be a bit difficult since it would require the user to swap to the 84+ keypad everytime he wants to play the emulator (since the Nspire clickpad/touchpads won't have an I/O link port and sound through USB would require the user to have to find USB speakers or headphones.
Not to mention the programmer actually having to figure out how to interface with a USB headphone. Nobody knows at this point.

I just want to clarify something here:

I read on TI-Bank that this emulator only works on OS 1.7.  I just tested it on the emulator; it works with both OS 1.1 and OS 1.7.  There is no need to have a working version of Ndless 1.7 to use this. :)

Hmmm, I guess once a stable ndless 1.7/ 2.0 comes out, we can get to work on getting USB sound :)

How would Ndless 1.7/2.0 help with usb any more than Ndless 1.1?

really? Nice, so I guess I could simply install 1.1 then.

Then I got the power bug, tho x.x

Yes, SMB 3 is an example of one that does not work.

hmm, thats strange, perhaps it has to do with the size of SMB3?

I mean, it is about 4x everything than the origional
