DS85 Release 2 - TI85 Emulator for the Nintendo DS

[wraggster]

What a great day for the DS Scene, heres a new emulator release by Davr:

Here is the second release of my TI-85 emulator port. New features include:

Saving & Loading State
Support for loading Virtual TI save states
ROM & Save/Load support for non-libfat devices (GBA Flashcarts, EZ4, G6)
Can turn frameskipping on & off (when skipping is on, speeds things up a bit)
Can toggle between real speed and full speed. (full speed is actually faster than a real TI, but it makes it hard to play games)
Comes with an included save-state with several games already loaded. (Usgard shell, ZKart3D, ztetris, solytare, jezzball, Lunoid8, mineswp, and PhoenixZ)
Toggle between proportional and stretched scaling modes

Tip: If you want to load some apps to the emu, right now an option is to use Rusty Wagner's excellent windows-based Virtual TI. Create a save state from there, and rename it to 'ti85.sna' and place it on your CF/SD card.

Make sure to read the included README.txt file completely!

NOTE: Make sure your TI-85 Rom is version 10.0! Other versions have not been tested, but may work. However, they will definately NOT work with the included save state. To check rom version, on your calculator type '[2nd] [MODE] [ALPHA] [S]'. Press any key EXCEPT [ENTER] to exit this screen. (Pressing [ENTER] will erase your memory)

i tried it, but the touchscreen buttons weren't working correctly on my ds

my ds works good with all other games and homebrew except for WrightFlight touchscreens a little off too there

YES! now i have a reason to bring my ds to school. is the TI 85 just a slitely newer version of the TI 83 plus?

[korkow]

Actually, The TI-85 is very, very old. Made back in 1992. The 83+ came several years later.

Hey I got my calc. stolen the other day and am thinking about getting this, does it work well?

[kcajblue]

why dont you try it?

It works alright, although you will probably have to use your thumb for pressing most of the buttons instead of the stylus. I've also had issues where it wouldn't respond to button presses for a few seconds and the hit the button I'm trying to press 3 or 4 times in a row, so I'd get "f(x) = sin x x x x x" instead of the "f(x) = sin x" I'm trying to get.
