- X48
Goal
The HP48 Emulator Emu48 was originally created by Sébastien Carlier and is published under the GPL. The latest version of Emu48 can emulate a HP38G, HP39G, HP40G, HP48SX, HP48GX and a HP49G. The emulator is running on all Windows platforms thanks to Christoph Gießelink.Some other emulators such as X48 or Saturn exists.
The goal of this project is to write a HP calc emulor that works on Linux OS.
We could use wxWidgets or QT for user interface.
So with the same source code, this emulator could run on
- Windows
- Linux
- Mac OS X
- Windows CE
- Linux Handhelds
We could use a part of the Emu48 code, clean the windows specific API, etc...
An other way could be to use X48 or Saturn code...
Unfortunately X48 doesn't compile out of the box ( too ;-( ) on Linux plateform with current gcc (3.3.5)
the Wine ideas
Some people tryed to run Emu48 with WineI really think it's a very bad idea because :
- Wine only works on x86 processors so such a solution can't work on ARM processor (PDA with Linux handhelds or WinCE)
- Using Wine will not improve Emu48 performances !!!
An other think is to try to compile Emu48 with libwine
