Guest SinisterJunkie Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Does anyone know of a HP48 emulator for a Smartphone? I have only been able to find ones for the PPC platform. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest maxh2003 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 The HP48 is a scientific calculator. See http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/games/arcade/ amongst others, for details... No, there isn't a Smartphone HP48 emulator AFAIK, but I note that "Emu48" for PocketPC has source code available. So a port would be at least theoretically possible...

Guest SinisterJunkie Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks for the confirmation. I figured it was worth a question. Having the functions of my HP48 on my phone would be very convenient at work. I don't think I am capable of handling a port, but maybe someone will eventually. Maybe I need to learn more on coding. I'm guessing that porting an emulator of any kind is not the best place to start. ^_^ Thanks for the info and if anyone hears of one, please let me know.

It not the port thats the problem, it's the physical keyboard vs. the touchscreen. The HP has a very special keyboard and generally requires a special set of graphical legends. The KML scripts allow you to map physical keys to the hp keys and emu48 should work on WM but i don't see how you would map a qwerty keyboard so that you could remember what the keys do. Kinda like chinese on an english keyboard. ji3m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
