Oh man I love Dr. Mario though, played that for hours as a kid! Daedalous looks pretty amazing. Oh man I love Dr. Mario though, played that for hours as a kid!

I still have my old ti-85, for some reason I never got around to upgrading to the 86 or 92. But it's a bit of a pain to carry around with all my other gadgets. Plus the 32K memory way always a pain. Hopefully we'll see a DLDI compatible update sometime along with whatever features and fixes were left to be added. It would be great having this on my DS.

That's exactly what happened to me when I tried a different version of the ROM. If everything else is working normally then you probably have a mislabeled ROM. Are you sure it is v10?

Supercard freezes when loading the ds.gba file. The .nds has a (known) grpahical issue. So i rename ds.gba to .nds and it works fine, or i patch the .nds with supercard magic homebrew patcher, works, and even attempted to use the append method, but all 3 methods i have tried to get this to boot, either doesnt read the sna file (memory set to defaults), or does read it but... when i click custom, i see usgard, i press f1, and nothing happens.... not sure what is going on here, cause i have a v10 ti85 rom. Not quite sure what its deal is frankly. I LOVE the ti85 emulator, and i LOVE the fact that i can use it propperly, but dont understand why i cannot use usgard. seems like kind of a pain in the butt. Help me Obi won davr, your my only hope. Hate to post a troubleshooting deal here, but nobody seems to understand exactly whats going on, but how exactly do you get this to work on supercard SD?

Yeah, this app is really a kick-ass one! It is nice to hear on WHAT ARE YOU working on and, first of all, that YOU ARE working on it! I read some comments about touchscreen not working perfectly, I cannot confirm, but I remember something similiar with initial versions of ScummVM; an upgrade of touchscreen-code-plugin did the trick in solving the issue.

It puts the other TI emulator to shame. You should change the method for appending the 85 ROM to the bin: copy /B ds85_02.ds.gba+ti85.rom ds85_02_rom.ds.gba I would love to see some of these features added: a hack for more memory, button mapping (though what is hard coded is a real good start), Sending files to/from the FAT (looks like you are planning this), sound emulation (not a big deal since hardly any games/programs use it), a debugger, skins for the calculator 'hardware', colorizing the screen (maybe even with grayscale?). Keep up the good work! One last thing... Are there any plans to port other calculator emulators to the DS? I would love to see the 89/92 on the DS! Damn this emulator kicks ass.

I have a suggestion on the interface, why not rotate it like brain training? These things only have 110 pixels width right? I have many MC68000 documents if you wanna do ti-whatever. I personally liked TI-83 the most, my ti-89 isn't so great interface wise. Davr, this is the coolest thing evar! I have a suggestion on the interface, why not rotate it like brain training?
