anyone notice that the ti-85 emulator for the nintendo ds has been updated? click link above http://ds.rorexrobots.com/calc/ . it now runs 82,83,85, and 86 but with problems. Ti-calc needs to update the article.

Anybody feel like writing a DS emu for the 68K calcs, then we could emulate an 85 on the 89. ;)

Right, I'll get right on it.

That's worse than running VTI on a PC emulator on a Mac!

Thats what I'm doing right now :-)

That might not be so bad if you have a top of the line PowerPC G5

however, if you don't, vti runs slower than the physical calc itself...

To have VTI run slower than an actual calc doesn't require running a PC emulator on a Mac, a PC with a 120 MHz Pentium I will do just fine (especially with skin). ;)

I wouldn't want to go that far :-)

Ditto for my formerly functional 166/64M/5G.

According to Apple's G5 vs. P4 benchmark, with a dual processor 2.5GHz PowerMac G5 against a 3.6GHz Pentium 4 with HTT, the Pentium 4 ran at less than half the speed of the G5s. Therefore, a PowerMac G5 should be able to flawlessly emulate a 3.6GHz P4 at faster than the actual speed...

Not quite. There's a lot of overhead involved with emulating a different processor. It would be about an order of magnitude slower than a real processor, though it really depends on a lot of factors.

No, it does not. Read my comment above about VTI running slower then an actual calc on my old 120 MHz computer. If a 120 MHz 32 bit Pentium cannot emulate a 6 MHz 8 bit Z80, then your ideas about a Mac emulating a PC certainly ain't gonna work.

If anybody is interested, a site with a lot of free gameboy roms is "www.romreactor.net". They have hundreds of roms in many languages. Just one warning: certain "adult" ads pop up on the site if you don't have a pop-up blocker.

They're not pop-up windows. They are pop-up layers inside the page, so they're harder to detect and block.

All you have to do is somehow block the domain "www.fickmaus.net". I just put it in my /etc/hosts file with the IP address 0.0.0.0.

Oh, and block "www.ultragirls.net" and "lustmolch.tv" as well. Those three seem to be the main origins of the ads.

Well, having ZoneAlarm has stopped all the ads from appearing. I know they aren't a new window like the normal pop-ups; the toolbar at the top of the windows looks different and the window doesn't appear at the bottom of screen next to the start bar.

On second thought, you don't have to block all of those domains. Just block "www.code-server.biz". That's an ad generator.

I'm having problems getting this to work. It works on VTI on a 89, but it's not working on my Titanium. When I load the ASM file, it's giving me a black line on top, and out pops the batteries.

Would a Ti-89 Titanium OS 3.01 make a difference for me?

Have you totally reset the calculator (and deleted all flash apps), and do you have the HW3Patch installed?

I thought I did, but I guess i didn't. Works fine now, thanks very much.
