DS85 R3 is a TI-85 Emulator for Nintendo DS. Original version by Milan Pikula. It requires a TI-85 rom to run.

Installation

Note: This application requires an authentic ROM image to run. The file should be named ti85.rom.

Download and extract file.

DLDI patch .nds file to the root directory of the card.

Copy the ROM image that you obtained ti85.rom to the root of your card (no subfolder).

If you want additional features, you may want to copy ti85.sna to the root as well.

It includes some ASM Games. After it has loaded, press Custom> F1 to get to the gamemenu.

Obtain a TI-85 rom:

Get a TI-85 calculator. Make or get linking cable (serial or parallel should work).

Download a rom dumper. Virtual TI (Windows) and TiLP (crossplatform) can both do this.

Follow instructions provided with rom dumper.

Use fixrom if you experienced corrupted ROM files, see the included README.fixrom (optional).
