Being ever so faithful to the homebrew community, ZX-81 has released an update for his PSPXTI TI-92 Calculator Emulator. To give you a refresher, this homebrew is an emulator of the TX-81 calculator from Texas Instruments (which has already been released under GPL).

The release today sees ZX-81's project at v1.2.1 status and one of its biggest developments is that it now supports the PSP Slim. The IR Keyboard functionality, as implemented in the previous version, has likewise gotten an update. Here's the full changelog for PSPXTI TI-92 Calculator Emulator v1.2.1:

• Now compatible with custom firmwares 3.x and PSP-slim
• Option to prevent the blue led to be displayed when L or R are pressed
• It has been linked with latest IR keyboard library so it should work better with Palm Keyboard
• The power '^' character is now properly mapped on IR keyboard
• Add a simple intro splash screen
• Support iso8859-1 fonts in print text functions (might be useful to translate menus in german, french ...)
• Bug fix and code cleaning

Those wishing to use this emulator are encouraged to look at the relevant txt files included in the download, most importantly the readme. You are also invited to visit the forum release thread linked below to discuss the homebrew with ZX-81 himself. And send him your thanks, while you're at it!

More homebrew goodness from master coder Zx-81! He's just dropped by our PSP forums informing us of another release of his PSPXTI: A TI-92 Calculator emulator, this time bringing it up to v1.2.0. This PSP homebrew is a port of Xtiger, a unix emulator of Texas Instrument's TI-92 calculator originally created by Jonas Minnberg. Zx-81 managed to tweak it only after Misha Nasledov made it open sourced.

Anyway, we have a very lean changelog for this version, but that doesn't make it any less important. On the contrary, I personally think that with this update, Zx-81 has made a huge leap in making this port stand out. Why? Well PSPXTI v1.2.0 now has IR keyboard support. The good developer has a few reminders about using this though, here they are:

• You need the rom of your TI-92 or TI-92 plus, but it is NOT part of the PSPXTI package because it is the property of Texas Instruments
• This version works 1.5 and custom firmware 3.X-OE
• It's distributed under GNU licence and sources are included
• It has been developed on linux for Firmware 1.5 and 3.03-OE, and for the IR keyboard part it has been tested using a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard

That should clear any confusion regarding this application. However, for installation and instructions on how to use this, make sure you go over the readme file included in the download link below. There's also a PDF version of the TI-92 manual available in the PSP forum thread (also below), so you might want to take a look at that too.
