TI86v Released
Posted on 15 March 1999, 04:27 GMT

Daniel Foesch has released TI86v, a TI-86 emulator for Windows 95, 98, and NT. This is the first TI-86 emulator whose Z80 core is written entirely in assembly language. Unfortunately, this program must run in a DOS box, which makes multitasking and debugging a pain. There is no loading support yet, so variables must be loaded through the link. Plans for the future include sound support.

On a related note, Kirk Meyer is rewriting Emulator86 from the ground up entirely in 80386 assembly language (not just the Z80 core, all of the program). This makes it exceptionally fast. The next release of the emulator will be Emulator8x, which will support the TI-82, TI-83, TI-85, and TI-86, with variable loading support for all of them. Other features will include direct ROM dumping through the software and more.

Where the heck are all of you finding the ROM images for a TI-86!? Why can't this kirk guy send it with his program if it won't work without it?

He doesn't include it because it would then be illegal. Well, it would be illegal if you didn't own the calculator. Otherwise you could just go and download this and get people's games. TI would lose $120 for each time it was downloaded by a non-calc owner. It's like having an NES rom or something. You have to own the game too. (Who actually does, but you're supposed to. Not that I do that sort of thing.)
