A software emulator allows computer programs to run on a platform (computer architecture and/or operating system) other than the one for which they were originally written. Unlike a simulation, which only attempts to reproduce a program's behavior, an emulation attempts to precisely model the state of the device being emulated.

Advantages

Why using an emulator instead of the real calculator? There are several reasons for this:

  • When crashing, you can recover the emulator with the ease of one/two-clicks.
  • Sending files is a matter of drag'n'droping the file.
  • Test on different calcs.
  • Access to powerfull debuging tools.
  • Ability to take screenshots.

TI Emulators

There are four major emulators available for the z80 series of calcs.

PindurTI is the latest addition to emulators and has the most accurate emulation of all emulators available. It is however only for Windows at the moment. Linux users can use TilEm. Virtual TI is the oldest and most used emulator at the moment. It has however a lot problems because of incorrect emulation.

The major emulator for the m68k series is TiEmu, which supports all the 68k calcs.
