1 frame of input lag, if that, and I took a video to prove it as well. Other emulators feel sluggy compared to this, even non-emulated games do (I don't own a CRT monitor, can't speak for gaming with those.) Whoever programmed it is a bloody genius.

Awesome! Compatibility:

Works Perfect:

Kirby's Dream Land

Tetris

Pokemon Red

Kirby's Pinball Land

Game and Watch Gallery 3

Madden 2000

Megaman Xtreme 2

Metal Slug

NBA Jam '99

Street Fighter Alpha

Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories

Spider-Man

Problems:

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe - For some reason this wouldn't transfer to my calculator?

Super Mario Land - Worked fine, but when I tried to quit the calc froze and I had to format and reinstall the OS to get back.

Pokemon Pinball - Froze a few seconds into the game; had to take the batteries out to get back.

Might try some more games later.

Overall I am very amazed at this program; highly recommended download.

It works just fine. The only problem is once it's turned off the screen won't turn on when the device is powered back on unless you remove the batteries and put them back in.

On http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?topic=1584.msg23296#msg23296 it says there is an easier solution. Use the resource below to reboot the calc after you're done playing gameboy and you won't have that problem anymore.

Would like to see an update to this program. Having a known bug since February and it's now halfway through August is kind of bad.

The only reason I can't say that this is the greatest file ever for any calculator is that you need Ndless to run it. Without Ndless, the GBC emulator is useless. However, still think (and you'd be insane to disagree) that this is still one of the most darn amazing things I've ever seen.

The GBC for Nspire is done by the same person who did the TI-Boy 84 and full version of Chip's Challenge (which I'd suggest you check out, btw). This is a newer "model" of the original TI-Boy 84 for the TI84+SE. This version does not need the number pad to scroll because of the Nspire's higher screen resolution. The only drawback so far is that there is no sound, if you liked to use that in the old one for the 84.

As I wrote in my review of the 84 Gameboy Emulator, it looks way to amazing to actually be true. Somebody must probably be playing tricks to get their 15 minutes of fame. The truth, however, is that there is no joke. The GBC emulator actually works. If you can manage to get Ndless installed (a bit tricky for some people) you'll be ready to go. You load the emulator and ROMs to your calculator just like you would any other file. Happy gaming, and congrats to calc84maniac on another revolutionary release.

LONG LIVE THE GOD OF CALC GAMING! *salutes*
