I have a blue TI-82 that doesn't have a computer input, and there for I have to code every program by hand. And on all tests I have to clear the memory so I don't have any programs installed (I could cheat if I didn't).

I really would like to play Blockdude, I haven't played that game in 3 years.

So my question is, is there a emulator of the TI-8x that lets me play Blockdude?

wxWabbitemu

A linux based TI emulator exists that uses the wxWidgets code libraries.

Compile instructions:

sudo apt-get install subversion
svn checkout http://wxwabbitemu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wxwabbitemu-read-only
cd wxwabbitemu-read-only/src
sudo apt-get install wx2.8-headers wx-common libwxgtk2.8-dev
chmod +x ./build_wx
./build_wx

To run it, type, in the same directory:

./wxwabbitemu

You'll need a licensed ROM for this to work - google that one.

Legally - Texas Instruments themselves distribute the TI83 variant with their SDK

wget http://education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Software/Download/en/177/6560/83psdk_setup.exe

TI83Plus.clc for the TI-83+, TI83ps.clc for the TI-83+ Silver Edition and TI73.clc for the TI-73 N.B. copy and rename as .rom for the application to work correctly.

Links:

  1. See this forum entry as to the advantages/disadvantages of using these ROMs.
  2. See this wiki for operating instructions - e.g. F12 to turn on

... or there is a Flash based remake

Tilem is available on sourceforge.

Tilem - TI Linux Emulator An emulator for the Z80 series of Texas Instruments graphing calculators. It emulates all current Z80 calculator models except the TI-81, and features a debugger, external file loading, and full flash support, including flash app loading.

You need to compile the source... so fossfreedom's answer might be easier ;)

  • I compiled that source and I got a whole lot of warnings. Sorry even the slow Flash version is better... – Alvar Sep 11 '11 at 18:55
