Texas Intruments Calulator Emu
« on: April 12, 2010, 01:11:00 AM »

You know what would be cool is a emulator the all the old games on Texas instruments calculators. like the TI - 82, 83, 85, 86, etc...

Games like:
Drug Wars
Deal or No Deal
TI Tilt Maze
Black jack
etc...

there's already PC emus for this i just read.

Id rather just have a port of the PC version of Drug Wars.... Those TI-83 games were cool in 10th grade math class, but really they were pretty bad..... imagine playing that on a HDTV tongue.gif

id be a novelty for sure. just like the dreamcast vmu emu is. it would bring back memories. and probably wouldnt be that hard to port.

looking through the source code. It's straight C++, its neat and VERY WELL documented.

But.... I can't seem to compile it. I'm getting a couple linking errors.

Anyone else compile it on Windows?

after doing some research I really don't know why nobody ported a calculator emu back when things were active in the Xbox Scene... it seems like a lot of other hacked consoles seen one. Which is bad news they didn't port one, but good news that its possible. Too bad someone didn't bring this up to Nes before he retired sad.gif
