How to use ti 83 plus emulator for ti 84 plus ce - Cemetech | Forum

I found a Ti 83 Plus emulator https://github.com/bailwillharr/z80emu for the Ti 84 Plus CE. I compiled the code using spasm-ng and I sent the .8xv file to my calculator through Ti Connect, but when I tried to use it, my screen just flickered and returned error. How do I upload a rom to it, and does it want a OS or a program rom?

A quick look at the code shows that it doesn't do anything. Looks like someone intended to write it but gave up.

I suspect emulating a TI-84+ at a reasonable speed on a TI-84+CE is do-able, but getting that speed would require an experienced programmer who could cleverly take advantage of the eZ80's binary compatibility with the Z80.

Lol it seems you found my old project. I was quite new to assembly and had quite ambitious plans. Maybe sometime in the future I'll get it to work but I definitely overestimated my abilities.

Thanks a lot, I've started to learn assembly and I realize how stupid that post seemed. Very Happy

Out of interest, I'm still learning assembly, but would it be possible to do something like this in C?

No.

Thanks! I'll just stick with assembly for now(If I ever try to complete this project a year later when my assembly is better I'll let you know.)
