<h1>1. Introduction</h1>
<h2>1.1 What's TiEmu</h2>
TiEmu is a program allowing a computer to emulate a hand-held:&nbsp;
TI89, TI89 Titanium, TI92, TI92+, V200PLT. <br>
At the time being, it works on Linux and Windows platforms.<br>
<br>
It uses GTK+ (<a href="http://www.gimp.org">The GiMP</a> <a
 href="http://www.gtk.org">ToolKit</a>) for the GUI and for the
display. <br>
<br>
All link cables supported by the TiLP framework are available: <br>
- home-made parallel cable, <br>
- home-made serial cable, <br>
- Black TI Graph Link, <br>
- Gray TI Graph Link,<br>
- and the SilverLink cable.<br>
<br>
TiEmu was based on <a
 href="http://www.student.nada.kth.se/%7Emd94-jmi/tiger/">XTiger</a>,
the original TI emulator for Linux which uses the m68k emulation core
from <a href="http://freiburg.linux.de/%7Euae/">UAE</a> (The Ultimate
Amiga Emulator).<br>
It also uses the <a href="http://www.tilp.info">TiLP</a> framework
(ti* libraries). See the AUTHORS file for more details.<br>
<br>
TiEmu is provided with a default and free OS : <a
 href="http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/319/31951.html">PedroM</a>.<br>
<h2>1.2 Features and limitations<br>
</h2>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Features:</span><br>
<ul>
  <li>support TI89, TI89 Titanium, TI92, TI92+ and V200PLT hand-helds<br>
  </li>
  <li>full-featured
graphical debugger (source, memory, breakpoints, traps, vectors,
stack, trace, ...)</li>
  <li>debugger supports: run, step in, step over, step out, run to
cursor<br>
  </li>
  <li>ability to load/save the emulator state</li>
  <li>file linkport emulation (direct loading of files)</li>
  <li>works with 1/2/4 MB ROMs, 128 or 256 KB RAM</li>
  <li>emulate HW1, HW2, and HW3</li>
  <li>can run from ROM dumps or FLASH upgrades</li>
  <li>automatic ROM version/model detection</li>
  <li>contrast emulated (try [Alt] + [+] &amp; [-])</li>
  <li>pretty fast emulation engine<br>
  </li>
  <li>sreenshot of LCD and/or calculator in several images format
(JPG/PNG/ICO)</li>
  <li>TI keyboard useable directly from PC keyboard or with the mouse
on the skin</li>
  <li>archive memory support as well as ghost spaces</li>
  <li>full emulation of HW1/2/3 protection (stealth I/O)</li>
  <li>full emulation of HW2 &amp; HW3 clock<br>
  </li>
  <li>no buggy MC68000 SR &amp; nbcd (TiEmu can't be detected as VTI: you have
true emulation)</li>
  <li>4-level and 7/8-level grayscale support (thx Kevin !) for both
HW1 and HW2/3<br>
  </li>
  <li>the letter keys are aliased to produce their respective
letters.&nbsp; No need to press the Alpha key, just type (TI89).</li>
  <li>keyboard mapping and menu shortcuts are fully VTI-compatible</li>
  <li>keyboard mapping can be customized thru keymaps files<br>
  </li>
</ul>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Limitations:</span><br
 style="text-decoration: underline;">
<ul>
  <li>linkport emulation has not been tested with USB cable yet</li>
  <li>no debugger while sending/receiving a file to/from the virtual
calculator</li>
  <li>no linkport logging capabilities yet<br>
  </li>
</ul>
<h2>1.3 System requirements</h2>
<font size="3">In order to run TiEmu, your computer must meet one
of the following sets of requirements, depending on your operating
system:<br>
</font>
<p> </p>
<p><font size="3"><u>Linux:</u></font> </p>
<ul>
  <li><font size="3">any personal computer (a 386 PC) or
workstation (Sparc, Alpha, etc.) with any Linux distribution installed</font></li>
  <li><font size="3">25/30MB of RAM (most part is used by GTK)</font></li>
  <li><font size="3">an X-Window system (Xfree is the most common)</font>
  </li>
  <li><font size="3">GTK+ 2.6 libraries</font> </li>
  <li><font size="3">[USB support (if you intend to use a SilverLink
cable)]</font> </li>
</ul>
<p><font size="3"><u>Windows:</u></font> </p>
<ul>
  <li><font size="3">a Pentium PC @450MHz or better with Microsoft
Windows
95/98/Me or NT4/2000/XP</font></li>
  <li><font size="3">25/30MB of RAM (most part is used by GTK)<br>
    </font></li>
  <li><font size="3">GTK+ 2.6 libraries like 2.6.8</font> (it is
recommended
to use an NT-based version of Windows : NT4, 2000 or XP)</li>
  <li><font size="3">[the SilverLink driver for Windows (if you
intend to use a SilverLink cable)]</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="3"><u>Mac OS-X:</u></font> </p>
<ul>
  <li>to test... <br>
  </li>
</ul>
<p><font size="3"><u>FreeBSD:</u></font> </p>
<ul>
  <li><font size="3">same requirements as Linux.<br>
    <br>
    </font></li>
</ul>
All systems must have an available port that will support your cable
(see section 3 below).<br>
<h2>1.4 Installation</h2>
<font size="3"><u>Linux:</u></font>
<p> </p>
<ul>
  <li><font size="3">install the TiLP <a
 href="http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/337/33748.html">framework</a></font>
  </li>
