Still, we'll be able to fight back. Look at what happened with the keys. We can write OSes with better features than the 89 but for the 83+, yet now they can do nothing as long as we don't reuse their code.

This is a tough issue, but given how computer and console emulators has been avaliable in the same way before, TI may be able to take action, but they will never win.

If someone released RunOS, then this software might be problematic, though.

Plus, calc ROMs have been avaliable for download for a decade anyway, same for console ROMs. The best thing to do is not redistribute these ROMs here or other TI sites, so something like what happened to CalcGames when they hosted NES ROMs won't happen to us with TI.

EDIT: I think we could use a good debate regarding the legality of certain softwares such as Ndless and this emulator on the forums either here, UTI or the like. It would most likely be a clean debate anyway. Altough maybe it might be best to have a new topic for this.

In theory, RunOS would be legal. Like this emulator, it would be able to run OSes using the upgrade files on TI's own website. Even if it were perfectly legal, TI's bigger, better lawyers would win in court if they tried enough (i.e. if they felt their profits were seriously threatened).

yeah I have to agree with that, though. It's really a though issue x.x

Fortunately, though, if these tools never make it on ticalc and Omnimaga in the future due to such thing, expect them to land on P2P pretty quick as well as chineese/russian servers. Then http://www.lmgtfy.com will do the rest of the job :P

Eh, if emulators ran on OS's then they would be illegal, no?


anywho, this looks great, I would not need to by a TI-89T then ;D

It is generally accepted that emulators are legal no matter what they run.

Its the attaining of the OS and ROM that is the legally tricky part is it not?

Yeah. It's really only legal in that you own said calculator/game/whatever in any form. You could have a CD snapped in half, a calc that drowned, or a fried atari, and it would then be legal to download/own the rom.

So, emus are perfectly fine to develop, and have legitimate reasons to do so. Who wants to carry an atari around when you can just use your ds? Who wants to carry two calcs at the same time?

My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

I was dissapointed to here this too. :(  I was looking forward to using this on my state tests where no CAS is allowed. :)
