AlmostTI 1.3 Released - Now with the menu
 
Hello All!

I have just released the new version of AlmostTI, a Texas Instruments graphing calculator emulator, formerly known as ATI85. It should be available from Extras shortly.

The new version supports TI82, TI83, TI83+, TI85. and TI86 models and includes a model-switch menu invoked when you press the [FullScreen] button. As always, huge thanks go to Andrew Zhilin (wazd) who has patiently addressed all my requests and comments on the faceplate skins, the model switch menu, and the new application icon.

Best regards,
Marat Fayzullin

Very nice, though I wonder how good of an emulation it is program wise :P. For example, can it run TI-83 programs :P.

I probably will (though I wonder if there's a way to load them in instead of just programming in the code slowly). Right now I have to finish a group paper due Tuesday. >.<

Re: AlmostTI 1.3 Released - Now with the menu
 
Just uploaded AlmostTI 1.3.1 to Extras. This version fixes 2-pixel borders around some calculator screens and lets you return from the menu when pressing the button with the current calc model.

PS: Currently working on loading external files (like backups and 3rd party apps) into AlmostTI.

Great work, but I'm convinced you have a memory problem. I know this isn't intended usage, but if I go back and forth from the selection menu to a different model I can crash the program with as few as 3 selections. The last crash took 7 selections. And right before posting this it took 4 selections. Keep up the excellent work.

.. and it is reacting so slow now. Before the last update it was so much snappier. But it is a really excellent software. Great work!

Ok. Could you provide some additional info about the crash? Is it truly a crash or just an exit? If it is indeed a crash, have you got a core dump for me?

The speed should not have changed at all. Please see if you are running any other applications at the same time.

Can I go back to the previous version, just to double check?

Version 1.2 is still available here:

Version 1.3.0 should be in the Extras (just browse the site manually).

You are running it wrong and it can't find the TI85.ROM file. If you do want to run it from the console, run run-ati85 instead.

And rename .ati85 directory back to what it was.

I have fixed the problem. Please, update to the newest version from Extras. You may have to delete contents of ~/.ati85, but not the directory itself.

Thank you so much, version 1.3.2-1 works fine! Great job!

Amazing work as usual fms! The menu option works and looks great. Thanks to everyone involved with this project.

On a somewhat related topic, fms, do you have any plans/time/motivation/desire for some work on getting a HP48 emulator on Maemo? The maemo HP fans here are stuck in the mud: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=27888 all show and no go.

Not really. All of my Maemo-related projects are at this moment non-profit and done in whatever meager time I have left after doing real, paid work. Any additional tasks added to my plate have to be well justified.

First off, thank you for this wonderful program! Honestly, ATI85 is like a gift from the heavens! It has a great interface, and great functionality. I love the start up and shut down speed of this app, and the state saving. All apps should be like this!

I have a suggestion:
It would be nice if the buttons on the face of the calculator were larger than the their graphical representation. This would make it far easier to hit the buttons with a finger or stylus without taking away any functionality, or changing the interface in any way.

The reason for my suggestion, is that I can use the calc with the finger quickly right now, but must peck slowly as to ensure that I actually pressed the key. Often time, I hear a click denoting that I pressed the screen, but no key was registered. I have found that in those instances my registered click was somewhere between the keys.

I have attached an image to illustrate what I mean about larger buttons. The red-shaded key is what I assume the skin is like now; the clickable area is closely matched to the graphical key. The green-shaded keys, on the other hand, have larger clickable areas than the graphical buttons, and as such are easier to press.

Is this something that I can help with? This would mark my first contribution to open source, and I'd gladly do it.


YARR!

This is possible but comes with two side effects:

1. It will require me to spend at least an hour or two tediously changing all the rectangles.
2. The resulting layout will generate lots of erroneous clicks, as sensitive rectangles are basically touching each other.

Hence, I am not sure if I would like to do this.

Re: AlmostTI 1.3 Released - Now with the menu
 
Thanks for the response!

I can see why you may think it will decrease accuracy, however, even if the buttons get larger, the way the user aims his finger should stay the same. This will increase usability and allow more users to use you're excellent calculator without needing to reach for a stylus!

If it would make it easier, I can prepare all of the rectangle coordinates. I would only need the number of units width and height of the skin (lets try ATI86) and I'll do the rest!

Re: AlmostTI 1.3 Released - Now with the menu
 
i am in total agreement with the capt'n on this one. i don't think it would generate erroneous clicks, because no one is going to aim for the areas in between keys. it's just there as a crutch. and if my aim is so bad that i try to press a 7 and i hit a black area closer to the 8 than the 7, it's my fault. i'd rather see 8 pop up on the screen than nothing at all. i like the feedback. it's like the calculator is telling me, "hey, buddy, you really need to work on your aim."

Well, I do believe that erroneous clicks will decrease usability rather than increase it, as users have to correct mistakes instead of just clicking the same button for the second time, with better aim. But let us try your approach, just to see how it works.

Here it is!

The picture had to be scaled to 800x480 in order for it to be consistent with the previous coordinates. After upscaling, I carefully considered the positions of the rectangles and created a new set of rectangles as per our discussion. They should increase usability for finger users!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute.

Re: AlmostTI 1.3 Released - Now with the menu
 
Love this app, so useful in sixth form. Though I think it seems a waste that the hardware buttons aren't really being used. The d-pad and middle button should certainly be the Ti's d-pad and enter button. And I think the minus button should be 2nd, and + be Alpha. And the menu button, possibly Exit? And I guess the N810's keyboard could be the letters for the calculator.

That'll be my little request :)
Thanks!

Re: AlmostTI 1.3 Released - Now with the menu
 
If this supported the N810 keyboard, it would kick some serious a55. Also, there TI-83+ skin has some problems. On the X^-1 button, the yellow text should NOT be finance, but matrix.

Also, why so many calculators? If there was just TI-84+ Silver, it would cover all the functionality of the rest... Maybe TI-86 and TI-84 (old gen and new gen).

A better question is, why not?

Different people used different calculators and, therefore, are familiar with different calculators. I can't imagine you'd be particularly interested in used a TI-84 if you grew up with a TI-85 (or vice versa).

Really, there isn't a huge amount of work involved in implementing each additional calculator (compared to the work involved with putting the whole emulator together), and if it makes a greater number of people happy with no impact on those who are happy with an existing model, then what's the problem?

The selection process isn't obtrusive. My view: More choice is good. :)

Different people used different calculators and, therefore, are familiar with different calculators. I can't imagine you'd be particularly interested in used a TI-84 if you grew up with a TI-85 (or vice versa).

Really, there isn't a huge amount of work involved in implementing each additional calculator (compared to the work involved with putting the whole emulator together), and if it makes a greater number of people happy with no impact on those who are happy with an existing model, then what's the problem?

Yeah I guess. But seriously, there is NO difference between a TI-83+ and a TI-84+, aside from the fact that the later has more memory, better processor, and a few more functions.

I would like to point out that AlmostTI does not currently support 83+ and 84+, as I have no complete ROM images for these calculators. Furthermore, even when I add support for these models, the ROM images will not be included into the package: these calculator models are still actively sold and their firmware has sizable commercial value. Thus, you will have to provide your own ROM.

Is this application legal?
Can I use it without a ti85 ROM?

Application itself is legal. The package includes TI85 ROM, which is somewhat on the gray side. TI no longer produces TI85 though, so the firmware is mostly of historical value. If I ever get to newer models, currently produced by TI, you will have to supply your own ROM by dumping it from your calc.

AFAIK the only legal way to obtain a ROM dump is to purchase a TI calculator to perform the dump. You may only legally use a ROM image that you dumped yourself from a calculator that you own. If you do not own the calculator from which the dump came, you are infringing on copyrights held by Texas Instruments. It does not matter whether or not the calculator is still manufactured.
