I think the readme says changeable frameskip is a planned feature.

Ugh.. ok ok I know I left the community for a while mainly because calculator's are not my thing. I only joined here to look at the gbc4nspire project, and I must say it is VERY nice and it makes me want to get a Nspire now. So, is there any updates to this project?

@omnimaga: just don't ban me.. I won't spam I promise. I am a more mature person than I was before..

I've never thought that time could be so well wasted ;) How much time do you think you've spent making this, anyways, if you include all the time on the 84 version that you've used in making the newer version?
I wrote another review for your new emulator. I still think this is one of the coolest calc things ever made. I'd say it's the very best, except for the fact that it's useless without Ndless, of course.
You mentioned that it works better on 1.2 OS rather than 1.1, but will it also work well with 2.0? I heard from somewhere online that it's incompatible with Ndless.

Hi and welcome here actually ^^

Don't worry I do not really have anything against you, sorry if it sounded this way (because of the Revsoft incidents) x.x, plus I was pretty pissed at DarksunDS (which is who I had trouble with). Also, we tend to be a bit more lax on randomness  in overall, as long as it won't go overboard. Moderation has better taste anyway ^^.

I don't think DarksunDS would last very long on Omnimaga, though.

@Brian Ndless is being done for 2.0. Eventually it will come out, altough it will probably be executed in a different way than 1.1, since it uses a different TI-Nspire OS exploit.

That said I hope the TI-Nspire stuff and the new innovations on the z80 side renew your interest towards the calculator world.

Thanks omnimaga :D
I really want a Nspire now lol because of this.. I mean this really would save me from my math class :)

by the way.. do you think that the Nspire could handle a NES/SNES emulator? More so the SNES because I have some SMW (super mario world) hacks to beat  :P

I am certain NES could be handled. For SNES, I have doubts about these games filled with chips, though. I think it would most likely support SNES games that doesn't use stuff like Super FX (Star Fox, Dirt Trax FX, PilotWings, Doom) or compression routines (Star Ocean). I think the speed may also not be too bad, noticing how fast the GBC emulation runs in hi-speed mode (6 times faster). SNES would rule, though, because a bunch of the Omnimaga users has previously done ROM hacking, meaning their work could be played on a calculator, finally. Geno and TsukasaZX, for instance, are currently working on their respective Super Mario World ROM hacks.

Also if you search the forums, there is a TI-89 emulator in the works for the TI-Nspire, which might come in handy for those who don't have a TI-Nspire CAS or if in for any reasons Ndless never came out for OS 2.0 and people had to continue to use the more limited 1.1 OS to use Ndless. I am sure Ndless for 2.0 will come out, though.

that is so ironic, because I am working on a super mario world ROM hack at the moment. I would like to see it on my calc though  :P
but with many SMW rom hacks comes with ExGFX (aka super FX I think) and it has special effects to it.

Well, we actually even have a ROM hacking sub-forum here on Omni forums, it's hidden in the non-calc projects section here:

http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=81.0

Sadly, because most of our ROM hackers are either only active on IRC chats (they don't like forums as much as chats) and because some are retired or more active into calc dev, this section is still rather empty :(

I might eventually give GBC ROM hacking a try, though, with easy to modify ROMs. I still hope eventually there's a NES or partial SNES emulator for Nspire, though.

Another alternative for now is Project M, a new Mario clone for the 83+, which will have a level editor. It has more features and better physics than the old one on ticalc.org (altough this one was still cool). There are no demos yet, though.

As for Super FX, It's actually that chips that allows polygonal 3D in SNES games, normally impossible to render with the SNES hardware

Welcome here Snake X.

I think a NES emulator would be really cool!  Calc84, are you working on one yet... ? ;D

So, now that you've got the GBC, you're going for the DS next, right? ;)

lol, let's stay realistic, though ;)

I think right now he's focussing on Project M for the 83+ serie (Super Mario clone)

Hi and welcome here,

To install 1.1 and Ndless, first you need to make sure you have TI-Nspire Computer Link Software version 1.3, not 1.4. There is a build of Ndless that is compatible with 1.4 but it is not publicly avaliable and was not tested extensively. Hopefully it should come out soon.

You also need Java installed on your computer.

Now if you got Link software 1.3 and an OS and assuming you have Ndless in a folder on your computer, put the OS in a folder called userfiles, then run install-ndless.bat. All you should need to do is follow the instructions on the computer screen. The OS 1.1 will be installed by install-ndless.bat, prior Ndless itself.

ahhh thank you very much
you said the 1.1 os will be installed by the ndless.bat?
i have the 1.1 os in a folder on my computer, so can i just ignore and/or delete that if install-ndless.bat will install it for me?
