There are online emulators? o.o I'm a bit behind, sorry.

Yes, there are!


Here is an online Flash emulator for TI graphic calculators using a z80 CPU:
http://xandrean.free.fr/TI8XEmu.html

This time, it's not made by me, but by Brandon Meyer.

Wow, I didn't know about that one. Thanks!

Would it be possible to emulate a flashed calc, though? 83+/84+(SE)s are really needed.


The short answer is "not yet".


The long answer, now:

Yes, TI-83+/84+ online emulation would be great, as those models are still available in shops.

But...

Brandon (Meyer) has been inactive online for months now, and his emulator hasn't been updated by him for over a year (last update of his blog in february 2010, last update of his emulator in may 2009).
(as he suddenly stopped answering me, I had to update myself and rehost the whole project)

The last news i got, was that he was working on adding TI-86 emulation, but was having problems with the RAM page switching specific to that model... but this was in may 2009!!! Updates are now very improbable...

I'm not able to maintain the core of its code myself.
If anybody wants to take back... it's released under GPL.

Just right-click on the emulator to get the sources in the popup menu.
You'll need to download Adobe Flex Builder too.

Although it might  be easier to restart a new online z80 emulator from scratch to my advice, than modifying this one which allready has problems with the TI-86 support...

Like I said, I'm working on a TI-83/84+ emulation library that I plan to run in Silverlight.  Anyone who has or is willing to install Silverlight (i.e. anyone with Windows 7) can use it easily.

Since Willrandship just said he cannot get it to work under Linux without mono, care about proving your post saying it does work by helping him getting it to run without mono?

Well, firstly, you should open the terminal and type "sudo apt-get mono" to make sure you have mono, then go to a website with Silverlight enabled (such as silverlinux.sourceforge.net).  It will prompt you to install Silverlight.  Click on their link, and it will walk you through the rest of the process.
Ah ok. It's because your other post seemed like you implied Silverlight can work on Linux without Mono installed, so I asked if you could point him to the right direction (as a proof). Does the one in that link works without it?

Silverlight is also available on XP and most likely Vista, so the emulator should probably work on them too (unless it requires some tweaking?)

Windows 7 comes with Silverlight, which is why I mentioned it.  You can still install it on XP, Vista, most Linux distros, and Mac.
DJ, the link requires Silverlight, and will prompt you to install if needed.

Aw... I thought you were using pure .NET, i.e. C# .NET. :( SilverLight on Linux is painful, not mentioning somewhat non-existent atm. Curse Micro$oft for their greed and refusal to support Linux. And yes, I've tried the plugin myself, and my verdict? Better off with an blank plugin that does nothing than installing 50 MB of stuff that doesn't work. :P

Moonlight is the Linux counterpart for Silverlight, found here: http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight

It's great to see this project as an alternative to that dead Flash based emulator (I have Windows XP too!), but do keep in mind that Silverlight is not installed on any school computers, therefore nobody can access it from school. It's great (and a awesome app!) for people locked out at home! :)

In the end though, my Linux side is feeling pretty sad considering the only emulator on Linux is TiLEM, which is crappy (100% CPU on a laptop tends to kill laptops and start fires). (WINE + Wabbitemu doesn't help either)

Good luck SirCmpwn on your project! :) I'm looking forward to your progress and a working beta to play around with. ;)

I got a working beta of mine running at http://webbitemu.netham45.org/

I haven't stress-tested it, so I don't know how well it's going to do. I have it running at ~30FPS from my server, so that may be a bit much too(perhaps lowering it to 15 FPS would be best.

I tried the link twice and both times I got an error 404. :(

I clicked the new calculator link, but when it made the new room, I got the error.

Edit: Oddly enough, I changed the url to http://webbitemu.netham45.org/tiemu, then clicked the link and it worked.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

It is pure .NET, it's a library.  I can port it to run as any kind of program - desktop, silverlight, Zune, etc.

That was a weird glitch with FF, I've fixed it.

Awesome! I was even able to run it from my Ipod just now.
