What is Virtual TI?
Virtual TI, or "VTI," is a comprehensive graphing calculator emulator for Microsoft Windows, developed in C++ by Rusty Wagner. It offers a wide range of features, including a graphical debugger, a grayscale display, and the ability to transfer data between a computer and the emulated calculator. The software supports multiple versions of Texas Instruments (TI) calculators, including the TI-82, TI-83, TI-83+, TI-85, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, and TI-92+. However, it is unable to properly emulate later versions of the TI-83 Plus, TI-89, and V200 series, as well as the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition and more recent calculators like the TI-84 Plus There are currently two versions of Virtual TI available: Virtual TI v.2.5 (beta) and Virtual TI v.3.0 (alpha). The v.3.0 version supports the TI-73, TI-83+, and the TI-83+ SE, but it cannot retrieve the image of a TI-84+ and cannot load any files other than Apps. Additionally, it does not allow users to save the emulator's state Virtual TI requires a calculator ROM image, which the program can extract from TI calculators via a serial or parallel connection. This software has not been updated for a few years, unlike TiEmu, another popular graphing calculator emulator
