Is there a working emulator for any of the above calculators? it would be so nice to have for class.

I wish there was. The only semi-complete calculator I could find for my N800 is Free42, a HP-42S calculator emulator. I have a TI-89 Titanium calc whose ROM I'd love to use.

I'm not a developer, but I'm setting up a scratchbox environment now (using VMware) to see what I can do. Maybe I can do a simple ./configure & make for some open source TI calc emulator.

Same here, love that thing.

The real question: is there anything desktop-side that can be ported?

I like Virtual TI for Windows the best, but maybe the OSS TiEmu linux source can be ported?

This would be awsome, I use the TI-83 all the time, one more device my n800 can take the place of !!

Yeah, I concur. A good TI emulator on the ITs would be pretty sweet.

I've already ported this, it was far too slow and wanted to use lots and lots of memory iirc. I did think I'd talked about this on ITT a long time ago (when the N800 first came out), but perhaps not.

I used http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/, there are even Debian source packages (i.e. in the main Debian repos) these days for you to build from. Should be pretty easy.

I imagine it will still be awfully slow though. Using the wayback machine you may be able to get some notes about building it (for the Zaurus) from this page: http://zaurus.maxg.info

I am not very good with linux yet. I don't know how to compile my own stuff. But just out of curiosity, why would it be slow?

It's an emulator, very processor intensive. Other than that, perhaps the code needs optimisation work as it's probably designed, and good enough, for desktop machines rather than our significantly slower ITTs

I tried to port x48 (an HP48 emulator) on maemo, but on a tablet it is really really slow. With a Ti-89 and TiEmu, it would be the same I think. I tried to port TiEmu too ; it worked on scratchbox, but I haven't tried on my tablet because the emulator can't show the calculator buttons on the little screen...
