The only feasible calc to emulate is the 82 because all the other calcs have
obviously larger screen sizes, but most games for the 82 are already for the
83. If you can think of one that's not, remind us about it and I'm sure
someone will port it... =P I think that an 83 port of the same game on the
82 is even smaller because of such stuff like Libraries, so its not a good
idea to do emulation. Sure its a wild idea that hasnt been done, but is there
really a reason you might need this? Someone who has the capabilities to make
an on-calc emulator would rather work on some other project, and we would not
want them to waste their programming time on something like this... =P
