-------

|
TilEm is an emulator and debugger for Texas Instruments Z80-based
|
||
|
|
graphing calculators. It can emulate any of the following calculator
|
||
|
|
models:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TI-73 / TI-73 Explorer
|
||
|
|
TI-76.fr
|
||
|
|
TI-81
|
||
|
|
TI-82
|
||
|
|
TI-82 STATS / TI-82 STATS.fr
|
||
|
|
TI-83
|
||
|
|
TI-83 Plus / TI-83 Plus Silver Edition / TI-83 Plus.fr
|
||
|
|
TI-84 Plus / TI-84 Plus Silver Edition / TI-84 pocket.fr
|
||
|
|
TI-85
|
||
|
|
TI-86
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TilEm fully supports all known versions of the above calculators (as
|
||
|
|
of 2012), and attempts to reproduce the behavior of the original
|
||
|
|
calculator hardware as faithfully as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, TilEm can emulate the TI-Nspire's virtual TI-84 Plus
|
||
|
|
mode. This is currently experimental, and some programs may not work
|
||
|
|
correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TilEm runs on the X Window System on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like
|
||
|
|
platforms, as well as on Microsoft Windows, and any other platform
|
||
|
|
supported by the GTK+ library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
Packages for Microsoft Windows are available from the TilEm project
|
||
|
|
website (http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilem/). For other platforms, you
|
||
|
|
will need to compile TilEm from source; please see the file 'INSTALL'
|
||
|
|
in the source package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using TilEm
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
TilEm requires a copy of the operating system from the calculator
|
||
|
|
model(s) you wish to emulate. This file is called a "ROM image",
|
||
|
|
since the calculator OS was traditionally stored in Read-Only Memory.
|
||
|
|
ROM images are copyrighted by TI and may not be distributed without
|
||
|
|
permission. See the TilEm User's Manual for more information about
|
||
|
|
how to create a ROM image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main TilEm window shows an image of the calculator (if possible -
|
||
|
|
we are still missing background images for a few models.) Clicking
|
||
|
|
with the left mouse button presses a key; clicking with the middle
|
||
|
|
button presses a key and holds it down. Clicking with the right
|
||
|
|
button, or pressing Shift+F10, opens the menu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you run TilEm for the first time, it will ask you to select a ROM
|
||
|
|
image to use. The file you select will be used by default the next
|
||
|
|
time you run TilEm. You can switch to a different ROM image by
|
||
|
|
right-clicking and selecting "Open Calculator".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The state of the emulated calculator is not saved by default; to save
|
||
|
|
the state, right-click and select "Save Calculator". The state is
|
||
|
|
saved to a ".sav" file, stored in the same directory as the ROM image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can send program and variable files to the emulated calculator,
|
||
|
|
either by dragging and dropping them from your file manager, or by
|
||
|
|
right-clicking and selecting "Send File". To retrieve program or
|
||
|
|
variable files from the calculator, select "Receive File".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other features of TilEm include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A debugger for assembly programs
|
||
|
|
- Capturing screenshots, both normal and animated
|
||
|
|
- Recording and replaying keystroke macros
