Michael Vincent has announced the development of his latest flash application, Emu8x. Emu8x is an on-calc Z80 emulator that can emulate a TI-82, 83, 85, or 86. The host 83+ SE/84+ is fully isolated from any crashes, and the emulated calculators can be saved and loaded as desired. This application should prove useful to people who own other Z80-based calculators but do not often use them. For example, someone who also owned a TI-85 may wish to keep the 85 ROM on his calculator so base conversions and vector arithmetic are accessible through Emu8x. Emu8x is expected to be released sometime within the next two months. You can find it now listed on our
