Virtual TI and ROM images - Cemetech | Forum | Technology & Calculator Open Topic [Topic]

I'm trying to get Virtual TI to work so I can do some assembly programming, but I can't get a ROM image off my calc. The ROM dumper with virtual TI doesn't seem to work with my link cable (the new Silverlink from the TI Connectivity Kit). Does anyone know of any ROM dumpers for the TI-83 Plus? I've looked all over and I can't find any. Thanks!

rom8x at ticalc.org

You would be better off with PTI as an emulator. You can find a link to it in http://tifrealware.calcgames.org/tutorials/asmresc.htm

Yup, to elaborate on rivereye's statement, rom8x would be the best for this:

Allright! It works! Thanks a lot!

Heh, no problem from all of us. Good luck in whatever endeavors you needed it for.

You made a little typo tifreak. Wink

Eh, it happens. The important thing is that he found what he was looking for, although it's a shame he didn't switch to PTI.

MDR Falcon · 12 Aug 2006 03:31:00 pm

Maybe I will switch to PTI. When I try to send an .8xp file to the VTI calc, it says "Transmission error". It allowed me to send MirageOS though. Help please? In the meantime I'll try out PTI.

tifreak8x · 12 Aug 2006 03:39:34 pm

Probably because the file was taken from the original calc out of the archive, and VTI does not support Archive, as far as I know...

MDR Falcon · 12 Aug 2006 03:44:14 pm

Allright, I'll try unarchiving the program.

And I'll have to say, PTI is great!

KermMartian · 12 Aug 2006 05:58:21 pm

Cool, glad you like it. Of course it lacks the interface and everything, but its much better emulation.

VTI2.5 beta supports programs, but not APPS unless it was already in your ROM dump

VTI3.0 alpha supports APPs, but not programs.

In that regard, it can be quite annoying to use VTI. PTI is my preference when it comes ot 83+

KermMartian · 13 Aug 2006 08:00:18 am

Definitely. VTI does not have complete emulation of the z80 core either, for example the execution protection crash that occurs if you try to execute above $c000.

Tari · 13 Aug 2006 10:00:03 am

Er, the execution protection above $C000 is controlled by a port, not the actual z80 itself. But, point taken, VTI's hardware emulation is imperfect.
