Harry Potter Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hi! I have a TI 99/4A emulator and want to try out different applications for it. I had an ftp site, but I forgot its URL. Any good site recommendations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Actually, just look at the first post in the TI FAQ. It has a really nice collection of TI sites identified, including the WHT site identified by @HOME AUTOMATION. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Uhh...I already have an emulator, and it seems to work better than the one on your site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 I use Classic99. Maybe I was daunted by the slow start-up on the emulator on your page. I will try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 The sound is jagged, and the emulation is slow. That was my problem. Classic99 may be a little less of an emulation, but it works on full speed on my laptop. BTW, my laptop has an Intel Celeron Processor N2830 at 2.41 GHz.

Dual-core, scaled-down CPU, 32-bit only. Not knocking it for general purposes, but you will be hard-pressed to run anything heavy on that, especially JavaScript running a full machine emulation. I ran into this a lot when customers would go buy a cheap netbook for a couple of clams and then get pissy with me when it would not run QuickBooks. Anything CPU-native will be your best experience, like MAME or Classic99 as you have already discovered. I run Classic99 on a WinBook TW802 tablet which runs a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F with 2GB RAM. The CPU is 64-bit capable but the BIOS is locked at 32-bit (to my chagrin.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Windows and Windows applications report a 64-bit microprocessor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later entries in the N-series appear to be 64-bit, benefiting from the Z-series GPU. Looks to be about seven years-old which would put it around the same vintage as my TW802. It has about a half the cache of a Core processor of the era and without hyper-threading. Your best option is still a native client. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 For the record, js99er works great on an iPad Pro. I was surprised it worked at all when I tried it out. Oddly I was able to save a file to tape but not mount the .wav file again after I saved it, but I'm sure it's the iPad's fault. Still, I was very pleasantly surprised it worked at all since no other emulators seem to work on iPads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I have used js99er on my android phone and tablet too, as well as a mac book pro and air, no issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind-of laughed when I bench-marked my tablet against a customer's iPad Pro from just a few years ago. It whipped the hell out of my tablet. ARMs just keep getting better and better. 1 hour ago, RickyDean said: I have used js99er on my android phone and tablet too I have a K88 I need to try that out on.

RickyDean Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Can't remember right now, been a year or so, but I generally use Firefox and Chrome on both my Android devices. But this was when I was in an place with good wifi. My phone service out here in the boonies is lackluster and I don't have wifi, so it's been a bit, and when I travel now, my tablet is generally used for Bible reading and documents. I use my Macbook Air for browsing and such today Edited May 9, 2021 by RickyDean add content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
