| No, an emulator would require a ROM dump, of which I don't believe we have yet. |

| Not to mention, I don't think anybody's tried to write one yet. brandonw would be the one most likely trying to atm ^^ |

Lots of people have the idea, but it's still a very new calculator and we know almost nothing about it hardware-wise. Like Netham said, we don't even have a ROM dump or a method of running code, so our hands are tied until we do.
Also, not many have it. Not many with an interest in breaking it, that is. |

Hey, I don't know if you guys know or not, but TI offers a TI Nspire Computer Software. (I know I'm a noob and all, but it is different than Nspire Connect) 
It's available to purchase, (at who knows what price??) but they do offer a free download for a 30 day trail.
It has ALL of the same functions that a TI Nspire does, and it allows you to type your documents on the computer and then save them so that they can be transferred to the calculator (I'll be filling mine with all my Chem. stuff later tonight, for my Final exam tomorrow  )
It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I suppose that it should work perfectly in the meantime 8)
EDIT: I don't know if this'll be of any use to anyone, but I emailed TI just a little while back. It's not too long, but if it is, I'll just delete it or link it somehow?? I don't know... I'm still a noob
Quote: Comments: Texas Instruments Representative,
First off, I would like to thank everyone at TI for maintaining and
continually expanding such a resourceful and outstanding corporation!
Well, I'll cut to the chase:
I recently purchased a TI Nspire upon hearing of it's newly released
programming capabilities. I am very satisfied with the product itself,
however, I am concerned about the limited extent to it's user programming
capabilities.
My question to you would be "Is there any announced progress on
enabling more user functions for the BASIC programming processes?"
I was just recently introduced to the advanced uses of TI's BASIC
coding system and have been inspired to strive for a career in the
programming departments. For that, I am grateful, yet I greatly wish there were
more advanced functions as in the other series of TI's. By this, I am
referring to previously common features such as "getkey", "Output(",
"Text(", and so fourth.
If there is any information, resources, or contacts that would more
efficiently answer my questions, it would always be appreciated.
I thank you for your time, and sincerely anticipate hearing from the TI
group!

Quote: Tyler,
Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments.
We appreciate your interest in our TI-Nspire technology. Currently,
there are plans in place to update and advance the programming
functionality of the TI-Nspire family handheld. Whether these changes will be
included in the next operating system update or a future update remains to
be seen.
Another resource you can use to find answers to your questions, example
calculations and other information is our Knowledge Base. The
Knowledge Base is accessible to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I hope that you find this information helpful. If you have further
questions or comments, please feel free to send me an email.
Warmest Regards,
Doug Fincher
Apparently, there are plans to release more programming capabilities on this beast :biggrin: Cool.

I wouldn't waste my time. They'll add a few more BASIC commands and then that'll be it.
I wouldn't pay perfectly good money for the Nspire Computer Software either.
There have been a couple of programs released that deal with the Nspire's document format, and you can edit them that way. I'd google for it or maybe check the Nspire wiki at http://hackspire.unsads.com/ for a link. |

can the computer version of nspire run user made programs? wonder if it accurately emulates hardware, which is more useful for say, ARM ASM programming, or it's just a pc program that does the same kinds of calculations as the handheld.
btw, i'm guessing you aren't related to sigma r u? |

I don't know, but I'd be very surprised if it actually emulated the hardware.

Yeah, TI won't actually add the capacity for serious programming to the Nspire. Because then people would make games  , and teachers don't like games! |
