New project, our very own emulator!

Yeah, thats right.  Spencer and I have started our own emulator.  Just to complete the development package we have here at RevSoft.  Check it out in action via YouTube:

Now we have decided to jump on the emulator bandwagon. For the past month and a half, Jim and I have been working on and off on a new TI-83+ emulator. Unlike past emulator projects, however: it is open source, it will support Silver Edition, and has a focused and extensible debugger. It’s an addition to the wabbit line of tools — as such, we’re tentatively calling it wabbitemu.

Features:

* our own z80 core emulator
* potential for multiple cores open in the same program
* pure win32 code for an efficient gui
* separated devices — e.g. easier multiple model support

This is still the early stages, so no release yet. However, expect updates.
