tilem4iphone
« on: January 16, 2011, 10:33:10 am »
I had an idea... Porting TILEm to iPhone. I don't know if anyone has tried this, I have looked far and wide and have come up with no results.  I feel that this would be one beast emulator for the iPhone, one that a lot of us here would love.  I realize the work it would take, but I cannot do this on my own. If anyone would like to help, please just say here, and when we have a sufficient amount of people we can start the planning and how we are going to execute this. So... Post away.

chances are this would go onto the Cydia store, or if anyone has a developers account with Apple and can seduce steve jobs to let us publish this in the app store that could work too.

Things suggested:
-use wabbitemu

Sounds great! The keys would be kinda small, though.
Do you have a Mac? I hear it's really hard to get a working win/linux dev environment.

No I do not have a mac, I'd need someone with a Mac due to problems I had trying set up the toolchain here on ubuntu. yeah it would be quite small.. I was thinking we use just the TI-84+ keypad for buttons, and the top part would be the screen. Maybe a keyboard and we can scroll down on the keypad maybe? Like scrolling a webpage?

Well normally its in Objective-C, but I think Apple now supports C, and C++. And then the toolchain works with C++ I believe.

I was thinking more like this (attachment)
Where the white would be the screen and the keypad scrolls to get all of the buttons

What toolchain were you trying to set up?
Also, it would be cool if you could support using the iPhones USB cable to act just like the transfer cable, so you could use it w/ msd8x or tilp.

I would be glad to beta-test it, I was wanting something like this for a long time!

What would also be cool is if we could personalize the keyboard layout, so as to have the keys we use most directly on the screen without having to scroll.

Hum good idea. This project even getting a beta would take a bit and I need people to help with it because no way i can do it on my own

And also, I doubt this will be accepted am sure you won't be able to put it on the AppStore. Better put it on Cydia.

That would be nice. Hopefully some people can help, although a lot are most likely busy right now and would have to learn to code for the iPhone. It could take around a year before such project startup, seeing how there was a discussion about it a year ago and still no iPhone version of WabbitEmu arrived.

Also WabbitEmu would be best since it has better display quality and more features.

You could install OSX in virtualbox.
