Emulator

Now
we have decided to jump on the emulator bandwagon. For the past month and a half, Jim and I have been working on and off on a new TI-83+ emulator. Unlike past emulator projects, however: it is open source, it will support Silver Edition, and has a focused and extensible debugger. It's an addition to the wabbit line of tools -- as such, we're tentatively calling it
wabbitemu.
Features:
- our own z80 core emulator
- potential for multiple cores open in the same program
- pure win32 code for an efficient gui
- separated devices -- e.g. easier multiple model support
This is still the early stages, so no release yet. However, expect updates.

:O
Now RS has a whole Z80 Suite to work with. I hope this proves to be as "cut-above-the-rest"-ier as the other programs you and Jim have made.

Good luck, guys!
It’s definitely going to be a lot of fun to work on. Unfortunately, I hardly have any time for mine...

Will it support 84p aswell? He said it would have 'easier multiple model support' which sounds like it might..

i couldn't run my 84+SE (i think i meant 84+, not SE
) i guess it can run 83+ SE

seems not that multi-platform to me (could be me though)

That's right! It has GUI!
Seriously though. What's the use of all them fancy programming tools coming out when fewer and fewer people are actually coding.
