PLEASE i really want 2 know if there is an emulator that could work on a Pocket PC, or with Windows CE, or well, u know, on a device such an I-Mate cellphone.

I love VTI, it could be GREAT if it works on such handled devices, coz with its touch screen and small size, it could PERFECTLY replace my Ti-89 (which i can't always carry with me)

any advice? suggest ?

Well:
* There is a Windows CE port of VTI (Pocket VTI), it's known to be very slow though.
* TiEmu (at least the 2.00 version, not sure about the tigcc-debugging-branch which might use too much memory with its GDB and Insight stuff) can be easily compiled for arm-linux. So if you're running Linux on an IPAQ or a similar handheld (with an ARM CPU), it should work. But I don't know how well it performs.

TiEmu runs on iPAQ H3970 (64MB RAM 48MB ROM Intel xScale 400MHz) with Linux installed.
This kind of PocketPC have an embedded version of Windows (don't remind whether it was a CE or XP).

It is working almost fine and it not so slow as expected. Screenshot can be viewed
on the TiEmu web site.

The port has been initiated by the guy who donates me the iPAQ. He wanted to
have an emulator running on it so that it can extend it with peripherals.

The Linux port is not completely finished because I need a skin targetted for the
iPAQ screen (320x240 pixels).

TiEmu should run on Windows CE but it will need to be ported. I don't have time for this.
But, if anyone want to work on this port, he will have my support/help.

This emulator looks like its made alot of progress.

>>(don't remind whether it was a CE or XP).
Considering it is running an XScale cpu (read "ARM Core") I'd be surprised if they managed to get Windows XP Embedded to run on it.

As far as I can tell, all iPAQs come with Windows Mobile as a default OS (or its Microsoft PocketPC OS predecessors... all of them distilled from Windows CE).

When in the earth will they release an emulator easy to install (because this crap of GTK+ annoys me a lot) ????

A better installer with automatic download of GTK+ dependancy should arrive soon...

And in fact, it is already available for the tigcc-debugging-branch, see the 20050529 snapshot.

And where it is??????

I've never seen a program with a news on it, but with no link to download the latest version :|

There are no news because the 'tigcc-debugging-branch' is a development branch. It's different on the main one which is currently discussed here.

If you are interested in, youc an take a look at the TiEmu web site or the TIGCC web site for download links.

Please keep in mind this branch is still in development and may contains bugs. I don't manage this branch yet, it's managed by Kevin only. But Kevin (Kofler) will be happy you test it and reports bugs if any.

Seems to be that I'll wait...

Actually, there _was_ a news about the tigcc-debugging-branch (even 2: one for the first snapshot, and one for the first Insight-enabled one) on Ti-Gen (and on tigcc.ticalc.org), even before the one about the official RC1.

<< Please keep in mind this branch is still in development and may contains bugs. >>

It isn't that buggy. Except for the integrated GDB/Insight, which is still under development, it shouldn't contain any bugs which are not in the main branch. The GDB is also not that unreliable, as it is based on an official release (GDB 6.3), but there can be bugs in the integration (the interfacing between GDB/Insight and TiEmu), and there are some GDB features which don't fully work on our platform yet (e.g. when it comes to things like backtracing from ROM_CALLs - I'm still working on fixing these).

IMHO, it is not unreasonable for a user to run the tigcc-debugging-branch right now. (In fact, I believe that the 2.00 release candidates are essentially useless and that EVERYONE should run the tigcc-debugging-branch, but that's just me...) It is labeled a development branch more for release-political reasons than for stability reasons.

BTW, the TiEmu team is looking for a nice logo ...

I'm sorry, but I don't like this program one bit. It messed up my computer settings, now I have to take a different path to normally transfer 89 files from comp to calc, and overall complicated things. >:(

I apologize for my previous comment, the software at fault was TILP, not TIEmu.

But it's still a bug you should report (in more detail than this)!

To elaborate on this: TiLP breaking TI Connect is A Bad Thing, so if this is what happened for you, please report the details of what was broken... unless of course you just ran into the known incompatibility between the 2 SilverLink (formerly known as "TI GraphLink USB") drivers. You'll have to remove the driver used by TiLP and reinstall the one provided by TI if you want to use TI Connect with your SilverLink again.

I'm not certain what exactly happened, but TI-Connect was not functioning properly. I uninstalled it, and everything is fine now.

The only reason I downloaded TILP was because I didn't know of any other way to get a ROM image from my 89T (which I was unsuccessful at).

Once again, sorry for my unappropriate comments. I tried TIEmu out with Perdom, but at least grayscale games are buggy (that's probably Perdom's fault though, that's why I need to know how to get the ROM image off my 89t). I tried to use the 89 rom I used with VTI, but TIEmu doesn't accept it. :-\
