Tag: ti calculators

I submitted a package definition for TiEmu, a Ti calculator emulator:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=40709#8

My build mysteriously is not able to load the ROMs that ship with it, but I was able to load pedrom fine from the original pedrom archive.

It should be fun to explorer different programs that can be run on pedrom. Mathematical programs will in principle be of the greatest interest, but I must say it is fun to be able to run pacman on a TI-89 :)

P.S. If any of my friends want to give me any TI calculators they aren’t using, I might be able to have some fun with those. I’m thinking TI-84 or fancier.

I am planning to submit this to Guix after completing definitions for the other tilibs2 components.

Can run autoconf -i -f and configure --enable-usb10 and make without errors, though two deprecation warnings appear.

Am working on package definitions for tiemu and dependencies.
