This is the exact same version as the one floating around for a while on the A83 mailing list. Nothing new here between a month ago and now.

I know, I never changed the release. I just put it on sourceforge the other day to try out the management abilities.

I guess it was just noticed there.

I think that this is the same version that's been floating around unofficially for the past couple YEARS. I'd tried a 3.0 Alpha last year, and it could run Flash stuff but not normal programs, so I think it's the same one.

Whoa! Nice to see that they actually got some work done! This definantly is an excellent improvement!

Finally! A Flash-compatible VTI! I know that there were a couple of people working on this type of project, but I think it's best that Rusty does it, considering he made the original...

will this version work with the 83+ rom?

I don't know, but the old one won't take the rom from my 83+

I would have to assume that they made it work now. As for why you couldn't get the rom off the calc, i had no problem doing that it just didn't work with the emulator. Perhaps it was a bad connection or something else was trying to use the port.

No, I tried multiple times, on different days

Yeah, I just used the old one. My 83+ ROM didn't seem to work, but the SE did :)

Within one second of running the program, it crashes with an 'access violation'... no good.

same with mine

I believe the workaround for that bug is to place the ROMs you want to emulate in the same directory as the VTI executable.

Thanks Joey.

No good. I still get an error. Has anybody had any luck using it so far?

it doesn't work with all calculators, try an 83+ rom

So the same folder has to contain the rom and that folder must not have any other roms for the other calcs. So I can now get it to start up, but the emulated calc sits dead. Choosing the reset calc option doesn't do anything.

Any more suggestions?

I tried it. It doens't seem to work if you have an upgrade of the OS. You need a full ROM Dump from your calculator. I found that the VTI is ONLY for the 83+. Also garbageCollect freezes as thus resetting ALL memory. I can't figure out a way to send files into it either.

With the 89, you have to have it in recieve mode. Maybe that will help.

I did that, and put it in the executable directory. No luck.

it is a z80 flash alpha concept release only. it only works on flash calculators and SE support is ... well it loads it and loads flash, the rest isn't 100%.

Okay, then I'll just stay with version 2.5 for now.

I finally just reloaded an 83+ ROM, but I got that problem above (the calc not turning on). And YES, I did try turning up the contrast :p
Right now, I'm trying out my SE, we'll see how that works :)

Yup, it works :D

Awww... no luck? Maybe I shouldn't get it. *rats* I had my hope up... hey, there's always the beta.

Speaking of beta.... Why didn't 2.5 ever get out of beta, despite going up to beta 5?

doesn't 2.5 beta 5 just sound better? ;)

Place the all the files that came with new version of VTI in the same folder as wherever you've placed the old version of VTI.

Enjoy :)
