New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - Willy R. Kunz - 01-29-2015 12:18 PM It felt kind of missing, so I finally added the HP-35 to my stable of HP calculator simulators. Designed for the iPhone, it almost feels like the real thing, especially on the iPhone 6.

It looks excellent (like the prior models), and the choice of different versions is a real nice touch for collectors and HP heads like us. Do you have any plans of learning to speak Android? RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - Gene - 01-29-2015 01:47 PM Any chance you could add a red dot on the V3 skin when the emulator is turned on? :-) RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - Massimo Gnerucci - 01-29-2015 02:48 PM (01-29-2015 01:47 PM)Gene Wrote: Any chance you could add a red dot on the V3 skin when the emulator is turned on? On a V3? That's nonsense. RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - Michael de Estrada - 01-29-2015 03:36 PM Will it work properly on an iPad ? I guess for only $1.99 it's worth a try.

Works great in 2x (full-screen) mode. However, since the iPad's aspect ratio is 4:3, the HP-35 looks a bit "fat", like on an iPhone 4. The iPhone 5 and 6 more closely follow the aspect ratio of the real HP-35. RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - bshoring - 01-30-2015 10:04 AM It's lovely! And I always wanted a Version 4. Thanks for creating this Willy! Regards, Bob RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - anetzer - 01-30-2015 09:21 PM (01-29-2015 12:18 PM)Willy R. Kunz Wrote: It felt kind of missing, so I finally Willy, your emulators are most impressive. Next to the i41CX+ they are amongst the things I mainly enjoy on my iOS devices. Thank you very much indeed! But now that you are addressing "missing" items: I would so very much welcome a versatile emulator of the much younger but equally classic HP-71B on that platform. It is a true pity that so far no one has taken up that task... a. RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - PANAMATIK - 01-30-2015 10:41 PM (01-30-2015 09:50 AM)Willy R.

Did you use original HP microcode emulation for your emulator? I downloaded and enjoyed it very much. Thanks Bernhard RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - Willy R.

It is a true pity that so far no one has taken up that task... I remember the HP-71B. I used to write programs for it in my working days. A simulation would be quite a job, probably requiring several people (user interface, graphics, BASIC interpreter.) It would also require a working HP-71 to verify proper operation of the simulator. Taken together, an RPN-71 is definitely not in my ballpark... RE: New HP-35 simulator for iPhone - Willy R.

No, all my calculators are built from scratch, based on physical models and manuals. That's why I call them simulators, rather than emulators. (Besides, I don't think microcode is available for the HP-70.) The advantage of simulators is total freedom in expanding the capabilities of the calculator in any way you wish. Since I don't own an HP-35 anymore, in order to verify RPN-35's proper operation, I relied on Maciej Bartosiak's emulator, which is microcode-based.

Yes, simulation is faster and is open for any expansion but needs more work and never is exactly the original. I felt some limits of emulation in my ACT HP-25 emulator, i.e. I coudn't give a single program more than 49 program steps. However the hardware can be updated any time if somebody (me?) writes HP-25 simulator code from scratch, using C standard math. If somebody needs the HP-70 microcode, I would be able to extract it, if he can give me an HP-70 and allows me to take it apart. Just to mention this another time: Your simulators are great and I like the photorealistic skin. For my taste it would be even more perfect, if the info and setting symbols would be invisible.

The next update will allow you make the buttons invisible but still working. You'll also get version 1 (with the red dot) and version 2 (the same as v3 since I don't show the front label anyway.) No simulation of the arithmetic problems of v1, though. |
