Okay note to everyone:
The game is a special version of Harvest Moon 83+. When the chicken appears, click second (CTRL on the new version, 5 on the old one) and enjoy :D
Only problem is that there's no text :p

A good start ! The program calcemu3.tns works perfectly on my TI-Nspire CX CAS.
But calcemu_cx.tns doesn't, what is its utility ?

I mean that the calcemu_cx.tns file always makes my calculator crash.

Every single time? Try to resend or redownload it.

Ok, I redownloaded it, the first time, the calculator was blocked so I pushed on the reset button, and the second time, it worked but the "q" key didn't work to quit the program.
By the way, why the program makes the calculator crash the first time ?

Cool to see a z80 emulator on the TI Nspire !

However, what about porting Wabbitemu instead?
I already ported it to another platform and this is quite easy because it is designed in a portable way and the GUI is not mixed with the core engine. (allowing to easily create a custom interface using a custom library)

Is WabbitEmu the most stable (as in, both relative lack of crashes, and features not breaking constantly), accurate and portable emulator ? It's not necessarily the only one with a GUI / core separation, at least.

Additionally, writing an emulator can be an interesting learning exercise :)

Although I knew this project was in the works I didn't know it was for the Nspire until this topic was made. :) Very nice!

@Lionel:It is quite stable (most of the time) and over the years it has become very popular. I think it's cool to see a Z80 emulator on the Nspire regardless of it being a port or not.

This is written in ASM so it should be faster than any port. Also a port with GUI for keys and stuff does not make sense when you use it on a device with an input interface that's very close to the thing that's emulated.

Question: Will the screen size for the CX version be changed so that each pixel are 3x3 in the future? Because the screen looks kinda small with D:

Calcemu3.tns displays a small chicken over the document screen. Calcuemu_cx.tns doesn't seem to do anything when opening it.
[edit] Pressing ctrl twice or more causes the program to space, making almost everythin black except a chicken and the bottom row.

I am sorry but I seem to be very confused.

How does one emulate a microprocessor?

No, I am not trying to be a smart-ass I am confused

The way I understand it is that the emulator basically creates a sandbox that intercepts and interprets all cpu, memory, graphics, etc. Could someone with more experience than I weigh in on this?

So this could lead to a ZX spectrum emulator?
