Oh, and for those who didn't see earlier on IRC, I finally fixed the glitch that caused Link's Awakening DX to crash. It turns out that it was disabling the LCD during scanline rendering, which I thought was utter taboo, but apparently that applies only to the original gameboy. It's perfectly legal on the Game Boy Color. So, when the LCD was enabled again, it would draw the entire gameboy screen starting at the line where the LCD was disabled, overflowing the buffer. So, now I make sure to reset the line pointer to the top of the buffer when the LCD is disabled.

Guys, has ndless 3.0 been released yet, or is this a dumb question that will get me laughed at?

Ndless 3 hasn't been released yet, and nobody, not even the programmers and testers, knows when it will be released :)

I really can't wait to try this on my calc lol, especially Zelda Oracle of Ages. I'm glad you could edit the file despite having lost the source code. Is there any blur by the way? I noticed in CubeField there is (although it isn't as bad as on the old grayscale Nspire models).

The LCD response time is very good. There is a small amount of ghosting when tilemaps are scrolling quickly, but it's not too noticeable unless you're looking for it. I didn't notice it until I checked after your post :P

Lol ok. I personally only noticed it in Chockosta's Cubefield, for some reasons.

Well, I seem to have solved the framerate issue in the best way possible. I increased the framerate of the TI-Nspire CX LCD to approximately the same speed as the GBC framerate :D

How I went about this was by changing the horizontal update timings. Displaying a scanline consists of back porch, active data, and front porch. TI set the back porch to 38 cycles, and I didn't mess with that because I assume the LCD controller needs time to read in pixels before entering active data. On the other hand, TI set the front porch to 50 cycles, and that period is just waiting around. So I set the front porch to 27 cycles and then the screen updates at about the same rate as the GBC :)

Nice job! There really isn't a better solution than running at exactly the right speed, now is there? :P

Good job calc84maniac. :)

By the way will old Nspire models support be maintained? (such as the lower framerate requirement due to blurry screen?)

Yes, any emulation fixes I applied to the CX version, I also applied to the clickpad and touchpad versions. The monochrome versions also now use the smoother scaling, as well.
