Total Posts: 72 | Is anyone going to make a calc emulator for the 89/89T, so it would include functions of the 86, 83/84, etc? I have seen (somewhere) an emulator fo rthe 83 (i think) that emulates the 86 and others. Just wondering if you could do that for the 89. |

Emu8x is able to run at decent speed since it actually uses the hosts's processor to run the guest's code. You should probably veiw Emux8x more like WINE than say VTI. (And if you don't know what WINE is, this is an excellent opportunity to Google.) |

Total Posts: 72 | Plus i've heard rumors from a friend...is anyone going to make a C compiler for the 68k calcs that runs on-calc? That would be great, program in school and not wait to get home to your computer. Also E-book tutorials on C with command lists would be included, but is making a compiler on the calculator even possible? |

Oh well, guess i will have to learn it at home then. Maybe just the help files so i could get the commands in my head before i screw up my calulator/computer up again? (I tried making my own C++ but it froze my computer as i tried to compile it, also my "Hello World" nearly messed up my calc) |

Total Posts: 958 | there actually is a compiler for the 68k series. It's called CC. It's not that great though. |

I look at source codes simple as move a dot around the screen and have trouble figuring out what everything does. ='( |
