Emulator in Flash (as in Macromedia Flash)
« on: September 17, 2010, 11:31:32 pm »
Just had an idea: Since almost all TI-related emulators are still alpha or beta and are getting updated often, some people might not want to go through the process of downloading each time. What if we made an emulator (at least for Z80 calcs) in Flash? It'd be really convenient, and all anyone would need is an Internet connection (and Flash plugin, but that's everywhere nowadays) to use the latest version. It'd be a really quick tester, for example to see if a program still works after transfer. Anyone willing to give this a try?

It might be nice but it would be hard to compete with the already good ones out there.

He means, I think, about ones like Wabbit. So just emulators in general.

Well, the good thing about Flash is that it works on just about every system. I was kinda stumped on Ubuntu because I couldn't get the newest version of GTK, and now that I'm using Chrome OS, I need something on the browser :P

No I meant offline. I guess it could maybe be useful for someone who got Flash but cannot or don't want to install stuff tho. However a lot of public computers have flash blocked, same for Java.

Ya, offline, that's what I meant. I just couldn't think of the word. I said in general because I thought all current ones were offline.

Java would actually be better suited for this, IMO. It was actually designed to be a computer language, whereas flash was originally just for movies, then expanded to games.

It would be nice. Might be some rom issues though (unless you accessed TI's site to get it every time, from the SDK :P)

Yeah, I was thinking Java would probably work better, but a lot fewer browsers support Java by default (read: I can't get Java to work in Chromium).

Online TI emulators could be a good idea, but don't put it too public, I already see DMCA notices coming from everywhere.

And DJ, I don't really know a lot of public computers with Flash and Java blocked. I can watch YouTube and everything on school computers.

Well, what if we make the user upload his own ROM?

Hmm, over here, they block individual websites instead of plugins.

Did you install the jre package? That's going to be your problem. Try OpenJDK if you can't find "official" java packages, it's even by oracle!

Hint: Chromium is based on ubuntu :P so, ctrl-alt-F4 should take you to a terminal (hopefully) login and type in

sudo apt-get install java

Edit: oh, and don't forget to restart your PC. Your power button should still work.

Weird, maybe things changed. In my case, Flash was usually uninstalled and blocked x.x

It probably just mostly depends where in the world you are and what public place you are. Like here I've never seen a computer with something other than websites blocked (besides like taking away certain computer things like command window and such).
