Virtual TI-89/92(+) v1.0 Beta released
Posted on 27 December 1998, 00:35 GMT
Rusty Wagner has released Virtual TI-89/92(+) v1.0 Beta for Windows. This is an emulator for all 68k based TI calculators, which includes the TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 II, and TI-92 Plus. This emulator has many great features, here are just a few: - ROM versions are automatically detected
- Switch between ROM versions without restarting the emulator
- Archive memory support for TI-89 and TI-92 Plus
- Send files to the calculator
- Use a TI Graph-link cable to connect to a real TI-89 or TI-92
- Save and load the state of the calculator. Any changes to the Flash ROM will be included in the state
- 4-level and 7-level grayscale support
- Bitmap of the calculator with clickable buttons
You will need a ROM dump of your calculator to use this emulator. Since it is illegal to distribute them on the Internet, you will have to dump your own. The emulator includes a built-in ROM dumper for use with a TI-89 or TI-92 Plus. If you have a TI-92, you can use one of the various ROM dummping programs on this site. Rusty has also released the source code for his emulator program. It requires C++Builder 3 to compile.

If you haven't noticed already, ticalc.org uploaded a bug-free version an hour ago.

Awesome emulator, if it worked.
I finally got a ROM dump (I have a 92 v1.3 so I had to do the old fashioned method), and now the emulator works. But I seem to have 128K more memory than I should. I only have the TI-92, which only has 128K. The TI-92 II, AFAIK, has 256K. Is the emulator thinking I have the 92 II?
Also, I cannot send files. I keep getting errors. Is this related to the mistaken calc problem? Perhaps it is wanting a 92 II .92? file instead of what I have. It would certainly explain why I can't send a backup. My backups are for a 128K memory, not a 256K memory.
Does anyone else have problems like these?

This emulator is really (really) well done, but too slow (too slow) on my P166 (it runs at half the speed of the real Ti92) whereas Tiger runs at twice and Emu92 six times the speed of the real Ti92 (II, Plus).
I must admit their debuggers are not very good, but I can test programs in real time (Tiger has a feature to change the emulation speed), using DB92p (the plus version) .
I tell people who doesn't already know it : Tiger and Emu92 can emulate Ti92 Plus and even Ti89 (but the keyboard is special for this last).

Cool program. Finally I can mess around with 68k asm without the risk of crashing my real calc.

DoorsOS on emulator?

Can you run DoorsOS on the emulator? I pressed F10 in the emulator, and opened the doorsos.89z file, then typed doorsos at the home screen, but it just said "Error: Non algebraic variable in expression".
What am I doing wrong?
thanks.

By FAR, the simplest way to run this EMU is with the flash ROM straight from TI.(Only if you OWN the calc though, I guess) To run programs, I use the newest plusshell kernel and libs with the Doors explorer and libs. Some progs (i.e. Tetris) need to be converted with the plusshell converter, but that's nothing big. Press F10 to send the file to the calc, then just type the name followed by (), or ,better yet, go into your browser and run it from there :-) I have never once crashed the emu, but maybe I'm just lucky. This thing really is a gawd-send.
BTW--what is AFAIK or whatever?

I know someone must know this so what is a good program for dumping the rom for a 92 that uses the homemade parallel port link?
