Emulators on TI calculators

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

TI-Nspire

TI-NSpire series

Developer	Texas Instruments
Type	Calculator
Release date	2007
Emulated	✓

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, 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.
