Nope, in fact that is pretty much the whole reason the nonCAS and CAS nspire OS differ in size. The ROM is nearly exactly the size of the difference.

You mean *the CX and non-CX?

Nope. The CX doesn't have the emulator, so I'm not sure if that's still the case.

So basically, a CAS is only better for having more storage space/memory in this case. Just to clarify. Because the CAS models don't have the ROM on it.

Yeah. Plus, they don't have removable keypads, but that can be seen as an advantage or disadvantage, as it's both easy IO access, and a failure point. (The connectors wear out)

True, the previous z80 emulator by Calc84maniac required changing keypads over and over because keys were all scrambled everywhere with the Nspire keypad, and if switching between the real Nspire 84+ emulator by TI and Nspire mode weared out connectors this much, I can't imagine how fast someone would have broken them with a third-party emu launchable from the documents menu.

As for which calcs have the built-in emulator, only the non-CAS TI-Nspire Clickpad (powder blue) and Touchpad (dark blue) has it. All CAS and CX/CM models lacks it. The regular CX used to have the emulator still present in OS 3.0.1 but it couldn't be accessed due to lack of interchangeable keypads (although I wonder if it could have been via Ndless?)

It would have needed to be modified to accomodate the new screen, if the emulator itself was still there. For all we know the only remnant was the ROM file, not the actual emulation program.

Oh I thought the emulator was also there, just maybe unmodified (or maybe modified but scrapped?)

Do we know what the emulator is even named? From what I understand the standard way we checked it was there was via the ROM, which was its own file.

Ummmm I just got my CX CAS
When I run the emu (which is named calcemu on my calc. I have a file named rom.tns in the directory where calcemu is. It shows up as rom) I just get a little sprite of a chicken and when I press menu it moves down 8 pixels. Then, I press buttons and I end up in an RPG for calcs. WUT
