Matt “MateoConLechuga” Waltz started the project and remains the main contributor. A native code emulator makes perfect sense for both efficiency and versatility in the longer term, retargeting the code at browsers (JavaScript, WebAssembly) is possible nowadays, thanks to Emscripten. Therefore, for the community’s sake, such a situation shouldn’t last for long - hence, the making of an emulatorĬEmu is open source (and even free software, under the GPLv3), like nearly all community-made emulators, and made in C/C++. The lack of a proper emulator is a significant roadblock to making TI-eZ80 native code programming popular in the community, which is a shame because the platform is a great improvement over the 84+CSE: faster CPU, more RAM, etc. Teachers, who are SmartView's main target audience, hardly need such features. However, there was no third-party emulator, and the official emulator in TI-SmartView CE does not provide the features most community programmers have come to expect from well-behaved emulators: an accurate emulation core, a debugger with a way to inspect and modify registers and memory, a disassembler, etc. The 84+CE and 83PCE (TI-eZ80 series) hit the market over half a year ago. To sum up: a portable and open-source TI-84 Plus CE and TI-83 Premium CE emulator. Of course, Lionel and jacobly added ROM dumping support to TILP here. It has its own ROM dumping method, much like the rom8x of days past, but now a nice GUI to tell you everything. So, give it a test drive, and report any bugs/features/comments that you have or would like implemented, and they will be appended to the todo list. Rather than talk some more about it Adriweb came up with a nice article that will explain a lot, I hope. There is no release yet only a source release (which you can build yourself and play with if you so desire), and if you have sufficient knowledge in anything you feel could help out, feel free to send a pull request my way or ask nicely and I can add you as a collaborator. But now it is in working stages support for ROM dumping from a real calculator is supported, it can boot and operate exactly like a normal TI-OS, except for file transfers, which requires emulating USB, which will take some time. Jacobly, Adriweb, and Lionel were very helpful along the way, and fixed a lot of the bugs I always seemed to make, and of course did an amazing job at implementing a lot of the more wild things.

Early last month I started work on a CE calculator emulator, and it has now progressed to a nice development stage.
