New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #1 Posted by pascal_meheut on 14 Apr 2013, 1:50 a.m. Hi, In his infinite wisdom, Apple just approved a minor update of the WP34s emulator. It contains: - Copy & Paste - the standard library is now included - a key click option - a very minimal help meant to stay this way. My english is not good enough and my time not extensible enough for me to write a better one - Slightly improved keyboard images (hard to see, a free iOS emulator to the ones who find the differences :-) - Import/export memory files through iTunes I'm thinking about a better way to display at least the top alpha line so it is not so low-res and still considering an Android version. But no ETA yet, not even sure I'll have enough free time. Enjoy.

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #5 Posted by Matt Agajanian on 15 Apr 2013, 6:48 p.m., in response to message #1 by pascal_meheut Whoa there! Forgive my hibernation. Am I to understand that there is an iOS version of a physical WP-34S? If so, can I just find it in the Apple App Store by the name WP-34S? Edited: 15 Apr 2013, 6:50 p.m.

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #7 Posted by Matt Agajanian on 17 Apr 2013, 12:46 a.m., in response to message #6 by BShoring Actually, I just got it and I am extremely impressed! So, where can I find manuals for it (preferably PDF files)?

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #9 Posted by Pete Wilson on 18 Apr 2013, 11:21 p.m., in response to message #1 by pascal_meheut Any way to replace the keyboard bitmaps? Are they in the program package or in the sandbox folder?

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #10 Posted by pascal_meheut on 19 Apr 2013, 5:28 a.m., in response to message #9 by Pete Wilson There are in the program and I do not plan to allow the user to replace them yet (i.e. no multiple skin support): too much work. Anyway, you would need 7 different bitmaps & the associated skins so nothing simple here neither.

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #11 Posted by Pete Wilson on 19 Apr 2013, 9:56 p.m., in response to message #10 by pascal_meheut No problem :) I guess I'll jailbreak my iPhone and replace them (or just winterboard them), but I can't jailbreak my iPad any more :(

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #13 Posted by Pete Wilson on 20 Apr 2013, 10:23 p.m., in response to message #12 by Walter B To match my physical WP 34S calculators, that have a custom overlay with shifted functions on top, and menu keys reversed instead of underlined.

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #15 Posted by Pete Wilson on 23 Apr 2013, 12:02 a.m., in response to message #14 by Walter B *sigh* With yellow and blue shift function labels above the keys, and alpha to the left and green shift function labels on the bottom key slant. And made some of the function labels more consistent with older HPs, and having separate yellow and blue shift labels in some cases. Edited: 23 Apr 2013, 12:03 a.m.

Re: New version of the WP34s iOS emulator Message #16 Posted by Walter B on 23 Apr 2013, 1:58 a.m., in response to message #15 by Pete Wilson I know. Just wanted to point to consistency and coherence. Slants are at the bottom, alpha is at the bottom, so why put f- and/or g-shifted labels at the top? All shifts on one side, not like after a bomb blast. But that's an old topic ... d;-)
