Hey all,
(I'm new)
I found this post while searching for a TI-83+ emulator, and saw that not much had been done in that regard, so I gave it a try myself. For those of you who want an 83+ emulator - I have a deb for TilEm.
However, there are plenty of
Caveats:
- This works for me; I have no idea if it will work for anyone else
- No attempt (as of yet) has been made to make this play nicely with Hildon, so don't complain
- Don't expect much, because this was a quick-and-dirty hack I pulled together during a break from exam studies
- (I hope I don't need to say this, but) PLEASE don't ask me for a ROM image... you know I can't give you one

Essentially, I did this because I wanted to see if it would work, and I'm posting it here because nobody else has, and a half-working app is better than no app at all :P Once exams are done (Friday), I will see about fixing it up as a nice Maemo app.

EDIT: you will need rotation support to reasonably use this app
EDIT2: oh yeah... and there's no menu item for the app yet - just run tilem from xterm. (gah! exams are eating my brain! ><)

Cheers,
Jeffery

Tried to install your deb via app manager and get an "Incompatible application package" error while running the latest diablo SSU.

huh... it worked fine for me with the same maemo version. As I said - it was a quick-and-dirty hack. I'll look into it tomorrow at a more sane hour. I probably did something stupid, so please excuse me.

ST5150: can you run it through dpkg, and give me the (more verbose) output? I am fairly new to building Debian packages, but my N810 didn't complain, so I assumed it was fine.

jaem: You must have your n810 in red pill mode ;-)
Change your package's control file to read user/math instead of just math. This will make it play nicely with the application manager.

Thanks! I had been wondering if that might be the cause, but hadn't checked into it yet. I'm no noob to Linux, but I haven't done much development on it yet, so I have much to learn. I'll repackage it in a few minutes.

EDIT: repackaged and uploaded again

Hey jaem, nice port! It works very nice, better than TiEmu, almost faster than my 83+. If only you can add full screen support, so its not so small, that would be nice! And a .desktop file would be nice as well!

@ThesandLord
Thanks, although aside from a few minor adjustments, it's a "port" of the ./configure; make kind. I should be able to work on the actual porting tonight or tomorrow afternoon. I'll keep you all posted. If anyone runs into any weird issues (aside from the obvious, like lack of hildon integration), please let me know. Thanks.

That's not a Linux thing, it's a Maemo thing.

Good working emulator, maybe instead of using slide rotate, the keypad can be put next to the screen like the x48 port: http://yannbng.free.fr/Maemo/x48_0.4.3_armel.deb



I've grown weary of sliderotate, I have had bad luck with it and SSU updates, and it doesn't uninstall cleanly :-\
