RE: HP50g emulator connectivity

My only guess would be that this emulator tries to do things in a way that isn't compatible with (1) the VM, (2) 64-bit systems, or (3) modern Windows security. I don't have any idea how to work around such issues, though. But I do have a random idea: Does the emulator have an menu with an entry to directly import or export files, by chance? I mean one like what I described for Emu48. That would let you bypass the connectivity kit. (07-09-2021 05:50 PM)Neve Wrote: Do you happen to have a link? The one I found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/x49gp/Yeah ... x49gp development has moved through several repositories over time. A couple of people contributed, and not everyone found the most up-to-date repository at the respective times, creating mess of branches and forks. A while back I got fellow forum member Claudio L. to merge the most relevant ones together and put a whole bunch of my patches on top of it. Since then, his GitHub repository is the best place to get it from. Eric also packaged it on his site hpcalc.org here. Regardless of where you download it, you'll have to compile, but that shouldn't be much of a problem. The Readme file knows the details.

This seems to be source only too, so just do the "./configure" and "make" dance. I didn't have to interact with the compilation process myself because I'm an Arch Linux user and the AUR has the necessary files to let my computer do it for me, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the compilation details - but this project seems to have a Readme file as well. Judging by the AUR entry, a few patches may be necessary to make it work on today's computers, but let's not get ahead of ourselves ... just see how far you get, and ask for assistance if the terminal responds by spewing errors. |
