Do not forget about memory requirements... I'm really
convinced it is impossible to create a virtual machine on a
low performance computer like the TI-83. It would be
impractical anyway.

That's just another issue: how could you handle events? It
would quite much overwhelm the system interrupt... It's not
the graphics that is time consuming, drawing some
rectangles is probably not the bottleneck. :)

Well, you can always try to code it for yourself. If you
already have an assembler, then you can do anything, :)
