Re: ti-emu: new emulator
Hm... I'd have to check it out... I've found quite a number of tests to see
if it works exactly correct, mine (V86) correctly matches all of them but
the last, which has to do with holding the ENTER key while you turn on the
power, which causes the "battery power low" screen... Mine considers either
the ON button or the ENTER key as a key press, and immediately quits the
screen before you can even see it... I tell you what, that PORT 3 is
annoying...
