To the teachers who told me I'm not gonna be walking around with a calculator in my pocket all the time, suck it.

This emulator rocks. Anyone know of a similar emulator for TI84 Plus CE?

I use this a lot and love it a lot! The ROMs it emulates are very powerful calculators.

Also, there is a new project that brings Qalculate! to Android. You can find it somewhere here. It's also a powerful calculator and is more integrated to the system because it's not emulation.

Genuine question, what's the usecase for this that I can't just do with my reg phone calculator?

...right. But what does emulating a calculator get me vs just using the calculator app?

Can you play doom on your calculator app?

With this you can play doom on your emulated calculator!

Graphing and familiar commands and syntax for those who grew up using TI calculators

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Most phone calculators lack things like graphs, statistical tests, etc. Really just for people who are quired to use Ti calculators or learned to use them in the past. Better apps imo exist (like numworks graphing calculator) if you don't have platform loyalty

Gotcha, thanks!

It's a shame Firebird doesn't seem to be on F-Droid. But Graph89 is really good for the older calculators!

Ive been using wabbitemu for years now for Calc emulation
