A calculator is typically a portable electronic device used to perform calculations, ranging from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics.
* Monochrome Z80: Featuring Zilog Z80 microprocessor, monochrome LCD, and AAA batteries. Including TI-83/84 Plus (Sliver Edition) and all their variations such as TI-83 Plus.fr, TI-84 Plus Pocket etc.
* Color Z80: Featuring Zilog Z80 microprocessor but with color LCD and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. There is only one model in this generation: TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.
* eZ80: Featuring Zilog eZ80 microprocessor with color LCD and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Including TI-83 Premium CE (Python Edition) , TI-82 Advanced Python Edition, and TI-84 CE (Python Edition).
====Orion TI-84 Plus====
None of the emulators could fully emulate this model yet. MAME lists this model as a "bootleg", with its basic functionalities works, but the speech module is left completely undumped and unemulated.

TI-89 could be considered as a miniaturized version of TI-92/Voyage200, as they share literally the exact same hardware and software architecture (that is also why some TI-89 emulators could also emulate TI-92/Voyage200), while TI-92/Voyage200 is huge in size thanks to their horizontal screen and QWERTY keyboard.
 
TI Flash Studio is the official tool for developing flash apps for TI-89/92 series calculators, which comes with an emulator. Unfortunately, this tool has been long abandoned and is no longer compatible with newer versions of Windows.
Using third-party emulators requires a copy of the operating system of the calculator. It could be officially downloaded from [https://education.ti.com/en/software/search here], but a reason is required. It's unclear whether they will actually look into it -- "The OS of my calculator is damaged and requires recovery" could be a fairly reasonable one.

Older models run on in-house developed 4-bit "Saturn" processors. Newer models have an unusual practice that emulates the Saturn processor via an ARM processor, so technically speaking those calculator models are actually emulation boxes.

HP Prime is HP's new flagship product of graphic calculators, featuring a multipoint color touchscreen, 400 MHz ARM processor, and a much-improved computer algebra system.

Older models run on in-house developed 4-bit "Nut" processors. Some newer models have an unusual practice (especially for scientific calculators) that emulates the Nut processor via an ARM processor so technically speaking those calculator models are actually emulation boxes, while some other models use ASICs as their kernel.

Most of the modern Casio graphic calculators run on 32-bit Hitachi SuperH-3/4 processors, while scientific, programmable, and financial models run on nx-u8/100 based ASICs. More retro ones come with all kinds of different hardware architectures, like VX-4 and PB-1000 that runs on Hitachi HD61700A processor, or fx-7000G that runs on NEC μPD1007G-008.
Community-driven, open-sourced emulators exist for some models, but unfortunately not they are still in relatively primitive stages for modern models yetnow. You can still get official emulators at the following site:
* [https://edu.casio.com/softwarelicense/index.php Official emulators (90-day trial, for graphic/legacy scientific models)]
* [https://classpad.net/intl/features/ Classwiz CW series online emulators (paid service)]
Community-driven emulators require ROM files. As scientific and financial models have no programming and data transfer functionalities, the ROM has to be acquired either by extracting from official emulators, or copying the ROM into VRAM then analyzing the pixels on the display into binary via [https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=26476 Hackstring] which is a kind of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_code_execution arbitary arbitrary code execution].

Upsilon is the fork of yet another fork of Epsilon called Omega and has been ported to other hardware besides Numworks.

==Elektronika==
Elektronika calculators were made by the Soviet Union, including arithmetic (basic), scientific, and programming models. These calculators are rarely being used or even heard of outside the Soviet Union/Russia, but just like all Soviet Union products, they never lack fans.

These Calculators have a higher chance of being emulated through MAME than getting their own emulator
