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 (also known as PTI)
- Virtual TI (also known as VTI)
- TilEm
- TI Flash Debugger
- Wabbitemu
PindurTI is one of the latest additions to emulators and has the most accurate emulation of all emulators available. However, its author, Patai Gergley has discontinued it due to lack of time, and the emergence of Wabbitemu. Wabbitemu is the lastest upcoming z80 emulator, emulating almost all z80 calcs. 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.
