can you detect virtual vs physical calculator in a program?

[dmh]

I have a Python program that runs much faster on the virtual Prime cf the physical Prime so I was hoping there was some programmatical way to detect one vs the other, either natively in Python or via hpprime.eval().

I note that Help, About shows "Hardware: Emu" but I can't find this in a variable.

Is this possible?

Try the command VERSION(2). It returns the hardware version ("A", "C", or "D") on physical calculators. It might return "Emu" on your virtual machine.

Perfect - it works :-)

Thank you!
