Recommendations for 11C/15C/42S emulation Message #1 Posted by Jerry D on 25 Sept 2004, 9:39 a.m. I'm looking for an emulator of the 11C, 15C, or 42S with a skin that looks good in 800x600. I'd like it to look good when I project it in front of a class to teach with it from my Windows based laptop. I've found a nice looking 11C emulator for the Mac, but not for Windows machines. The skins for the 42S look great but, while I have an HP-42S, I don't have access to an HP-48 to dump the 42S's ROM. I've considered using an HP-48SX through EMU48, but can't find an S skin that looks good at 800x600. Oddly, I have found nice G skins. Have I overlooked something? Is there a piece of software or skin out there that I've overlooked? It would be ideal if it were no-cost so that my students could grab it, too. Fot those who've been through this before, would my time be better spent trying to locate an HP-48 so that I can do the 42S ROM dump or figuring out how to write my own skin for EMU48? I've seen discussion that HP might release tht HP-42S ROM. Has a release data been announced? Thanks! --Jerry

IMHO it's worth to find someone with a HP-48 to transfer your HP-42S' ROM. Ciao.....Mike

Re: Recommendations for 11C/15C/42S emulation Message #6 Posted by Jerry D on 27 Sept 2004, 12:38 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jerry D I *definitely* need a break! What was I thinking?! The skins for the 42S are among the best out there and two of the best of those come in two flavors, one of which is 800x600! I went to do an "added in edit" and ended up Deleting instead. I think it's time to call it a day and go home before I do some real damage, except that I've got a class of 70 to tend to. :-) I'm now all set with the ROM and everything, as they say, is copacetic. Funny thing is that, at the moment, I like the 42S emulator better than my handheld! (No, my 42S is NOT for sale! :-) ) Thanks for all of the advice and pointers. --Jerry
