TI started to take seriously the simulation (less advanced than emulation) of their machines, through the Nspire software (or TI-SmartView for pour TI-83+, TI-84, TI-73, TI-Collège Plus, TI-30X MultiView, TI-30X Pro MultiView, TI-34 MultiView, which are quality software).However, things also evolved on TI's side: the community now provides online emulators, which largely free users from compatibility headaches between computer types or installation procedures (let's mention TI8XEmu on TI-Planet or jsTIfied on Cemetech).many community emulators of various quality and completeness have blossomed for smartphones and tablets.Over the last few years, many changes have occurred in the emulation field: That way, emulator authors passed legal problems (if any) on to their users. It is commonly held, and explained on many sites distributing ROM images (for instance for gaming consoles), that downloading them for emulation purposes is legal if one has the hardware containing said ROM image.Īctually, the problem is much more complicated, and this 'rule' is not legal, in the sense that it's not part of any piece of law.Īt the end of the previous century, the TI calculators community spent significant effort on producing TI graphing calculator emulators, in which each user had to manually enter a ROM or OS image retrieved by his/her own means.
