Goplat, the TouchPad arrows aren't very reactive sometimes...

Could you also test for numeric key presses, letting the user choose the best keys?

It seems pretty responsive on my calc. Make sure you never have two fingers in contact with the pad at the same time: it usually moves in the direction where the first finger that touched the pad is, regardless of which finger is pressing down.

Right now the number keys are already used to control the framerate...

Personnally, I don't have this problem.
It's just a problem which has been reported to me.

I'm forwarding your "TouchPad mini howto".


Thank you for clarifying all this.

Hey, thanks Goplat  :D

The timer is definitely what had caused it, and - as expected - the frame limit has ceased its daily 20fps fall. +1 Internets to you! Now scholars everywhere can readily switch between their MissingNo. and Warp Whistle collections.

Actually it's the exact same emulator as the one in this topic. It's just that Goplat uses a totally different nickname on ticalc.org (which used to be something else before too, if I remember)

I am to lazy to read all 20 pages of this but I found an NES emu for the nspire at http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/432/43217.html

note I found this: I DID NOT make it

vote this down if there is already an emulator mentioned in the forums

Won't rate you down, but it was originally posted here in this thread (title's a bit misleading): http://ourl.ca/7063/184284 :)

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Korath 3, Goplat... It may just be the extra vitalin or residue from my neural stunner, but does anyone smell a connection here?

Not sure. Are those names from a TV show, anime, etc? I unfortunately do not watch TV so I'm out of the loop about that stuff.

Here is a CX compatible version. I also added a 'B' option to toggle the border between white and black, since many NES games use dark backgrounds, and with a backlit screen like the CX's a black border might look better in this case.

I tried this for the first time earlier (playing SMB3) and this is very great. :D

Bug report ! (yes already :P)
This Sonic game doesn't work on my CX.
The non CX version causes the calc to freeze (expected)
The CX version can be launched and be quit but I am sure the game doesn't consist of a grey screen :P
Other games run well.

Other than this, great work :D

I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Could someone please help me figure out how to run this on my calculator. I can't get it to work when I follow the directions in the readme. I have Mega Man 2.nes and nes.bin.
Hmmm.... I wonder how to do this.....

did you try copy /b nes.bin+Mega Man 2.nes megaman2.tns?
If it doesn't work, try rename Mega Man 2 to megaman2 and try again?

I'd like to see the keymap looking a bit more like gbc4nspire. The A and B keys are closer together, and on the right side of the calc like a normal controller.

I tried doing it myself, but I can't figure out at all how to change it in assembly, even after reading up on it.
