Emulators on TI calculators

2026-09-02T20:36:51Z

172.70.90.136: Added NesNspire to the NES section

Calculators have been developed by [[wikipedia:Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments]] since the 1970s. Texas Instruments' graphing calculators have support for various programming languages, listed [[wikipedia:Comparison_of_Texas_Instruments_graphing_calculators#Programming_language_support|here]]. Because of this support for programming languages software such as emulators have been created for these devices.

The TI-Nspire CX is the most powerful calculator produced by Texas Instruments, and because of this, there are many emulators that run on it. In order to get emulators to run, [http://ndless.me/ Ndless] must be installed on the device. Note that while many programs for the Nspire CX will also work with the Nspire CM and monochrome models (Touchpad/Clickpad), some will not work on monochrome models due to having less RAM and slower CPU, and grayscale display with terrible response time make things hard to see if programs aren't adapted to it.

'''Acorn RISC machines''' are a series of computers based on ARM architecture processors and the RISC OS operating system.

The '''[[wikipedia:Acorn_Archimedes|Acorn Archimedes]]''' is a family of personal computers designed by Acorn Computers Ltd in Cambridge, England. The first model was introduced in 1987, and systems in the Archimedes family were sold until the mid-1990s. ARM's RISC design, a 32-bit CPU (using 26-bit addressing), running at 8 MHz, was stated as achieving 4.5+ MIPS, which provided a significant upgrade from 8-bit home computers, such as Acorn's previous machines. The first models were named "BBC Archimedes", yet the name "Acorn Archimedes" is commonly used to describe any of Acorn's contemporary designs based on the same architecture.

The '''[[wikipedia:Risc_PC|Risc PC]]''' is Acorn Computers's RISC OS/Acorn RISC Machine computer, launched on 15 April 1994, which superseded the Acorn Archimedes. The Acorn PC card and software allow PC-compatible software to be run. Like the Archimedes, the Risc PC continues the practice of having the RISC OS operating system in a ROM module.

The '''[[wikipedia:Acorn A7000|A7000 / A7000+]]''' were Acorn Computers' entry level computers based somewhat on the Risc PC architecture. Compared to the Risc PC, it was the ideal educational multimedia computer.

After the breakup of Acorn Computers in 1998, other companies have led on to making RISC based computers.
