Cool Programs and Games Online

 

Jonah Cohen's homepage
On this page you'll find things that might interest you, such as TI calculators, the Mercedes S600, or information about Jonah.

Jack Hanna's Iview site: http://users.bergen.org/~tejohhan/iview.html
Get Jack Hanna's Iview program here. The program runs on a PC and converts graphics files to PIC variables which can be viewed and manipulated on the calculator.

Rusty Wagner's site: http://rusty.acz.org/
Go here for the Virtual TI emulator (VTI). This is PC software that emulates the calculator. You'll need to do a ROM dump from your calculator to run it. 'ROM dump' means uploading the calculator ROM image to the PC with a GraphLink cable. ROM images are not legally available by any other means.
The advantage to using the emulator is that you can test programs before downloading them to your calculator. This can save battery life.
