The lack of a proper emulator is a significant roadblock to making TI-eZ80 native code programming popular in the community, which is a shame because the platform is a great improvement over the 84+CSE: faster CPU, more RAM, etc. Teachers, who are SmartView's main target audience, hardly need such features. However, there was no third-party emulator, and the official emulator in TI-SmartView CE does not provide the features most community programmers have come to expect from well-behaved emulators: an accurate emulation core, a debugger with a way to inspect and modify registers and memory, a disassembler, etc. The 84+CE and 83PCE (TI-eZ80 series) hit the market over half a year ago. To sum up: a portable and open-source TI-84 Plus CE and TI-83 Premium CE emulator.
