I am not even sure if it's possible to offer ad-free applications for free on AppleStore. If you are gonna make nSpiKx for iOS device, you're gonna be limited to those who jailbreak their device and release it on Cydia or whatever other download app there is for jailbroken devices. This is why stuff like WabbitEmu don't exist for iOS devices. I don't know about Google Store, but to release something on AppleStore you need to pay $99, right? Is that an annual fee or is it one-time? Still, it's expensive if you want to release something for free.Īlso emulators are not allowed on Apple Store. Last but not least, the AppleStore/GoogleStore stuff really sucks, IMO, but i guess we'll have to learn to live with it for a while… Porting the GUI should not be much of a problem although it requires some time.ĥ. This step requires quite some assembly language expertise as said above.Ĥ. So, I would suggest someone finds a window8 machine that runs on an ARM cpu and fiddles with the open-source nspire_emu code to try to port it. I guess some 'windows8' implementations already run on top of ARM cpus but personally I'm not familiar with it.ģ. Probably a first step towards that solution would consist on porting nspire_emu to an ARM cpu.

This fact poses not minor difficulties, as already mentioned by Goplat here: and elsewhere on the net, e.g. So that, at least, would have to be re-written by someone with deep knowledge of both architectures. Much of the nspire_emu memory access code is implemented in x86 assembly. We need to keep in mind that iPad and most of the Android devices are based on the ARM cpu and not on the x86 cpu for which nspire_emu is coded. Well, I guess the idea (iPad port) is somewhat attractive at first, but there are some difficulties along the way that would need to be tackled first:ġ.
