2. TiEmu images
Some vocabulary...
To run this emulator you will need an 'TiEmu v2' image. An image is
converted from :
- a ROM dump,
- a FLASH upgrade (not applicable to TI92).
As ROM dumps are copyrighted by Texas Instruments Inc, they will never
be distributed with the emulator. To get a ROM dump, you can use TiLP
or any other ROM dumping program.
If you can't get a ROM image (because you don't own the calculator or
you want to test the emulator), you can download a FLASH upgrade from
the TI web site (http://education.ti.com) or use PedroM (GPL'ed
replacement OS shipped with TiEmu).
Please note that images converted from a FLASH upgrade (fake image)
have
neither a boot block nor a certificate. They are not as complete as ROM
dumps.
[If you already have a ROM dump or an upgrade, place it in the 'images'
directory. Make sure it has the right extension (.rom or .89u). It will
be
automatically converted and deleted.]
A TiEmu image is made up of an header and the ROM dump or FLASH
upgrade. The format is documented in the doc folder of the source
archive.
Please
note that ROM contents is copyrighted by Texas Instruments. You are not allowed to
copy and/or distribute any ROM image!

License Agreement provided with any FLASH OS upgrade.
