In the general case, don't do that, and not just for TIEmu.
Duplicating DLL files around (all the more they're incompatible...) only causes problems due to the aforementioned Windows DLL loader limitation.

I know screwing with dlls is usually a bad idea, but it was a last ditch effort.

It's annoying that the Gladewin32 runtime cannot be installed on Win 8.1...
The newest available Windows build of TIEmu is more than 5 years old by now, http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/downloads/setup.exe . There are very few users of TIEmu left because most people are simply no longer interested in the TI-68k series anymore - sad but true.

Actually, that installer worked! Thanks!
I know that the 68k community has dwindled almost to extinction, but I prefer having free run of the device over being blocked by TI with every OS upgrade.

BTW: as far as TI-68k C/ASM toolchains are concerned, GCC4TI is a better choice than the unmaintained TIGCC, which has more bugs, fewer features, fewer optimizations...
But there are even fewer TI-68k native code developers than TIEmu users.

Unfortunately it looks like the GCC4TI website (http://trac.godzil.net/gcc4ti/) does not contain distributions anymore, and I can't figure out how to compile the github (https://github.com/debrouxl/gcc4ti) sources with mingw (yeah, yeah..."lol window$ n00b get a real mans OS lol!!!1").

Thanks a ton for your help with that installer link!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

Why didn't you just look on Ebay for a new 84+ SE? Or, you could even search for a 83+ SE, because its exactly the same, except for MATHPRINT and some other OS things. (And I find its much cheaper ;))

I can't find an 84 or 83 SE that's both mint and cheaper than the titanium - supply/demand and all that, but thanks anyway for the advice. Fortunately, I was able to rip a ROM off the 84+ that I can use with wabbitemu to run my old programs.

Heya flimflam and welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear about your TI-84 Plus SE. What issue does it have? As for 68K programming, @catastropher is working on a 3D engine right now and Lionel used to do a lot of it too, so they can probably help you. :)
I hope you enjoy your stay. :)

Thanks! The keypad on the SE went bust (except for the ON button). I tried all the usual reset tricks, reinstalled the OS, etc., but to no avail. Eventually, I found a guide on Cemetech to take the thing apart and clean it. I took it apart and removed and cleaned all the keys and the mat, but after putting it back together it still didn't work.

I was thinking of getting a CX CAS, but the constant boot code changing and TI's antipathy towards asm make me think the 89Ti is a better choice.

I want to start coding for the TI-89 Titanium. I downloaded and installed TIGCC without any issues, and the next logical step was to get an emulator. I've tried to install TIEmu (3.03), but the errors and crashes are driving me nuts.

TIEmu needs GTK+ to run, but since I have glade and pidgin installed I figured that would be enough. Not so! The TIEmu installer can't find GTK+, but it tells me that it can download GTK+ on its own. Before it even gets to that point, the installer throws an error about how glib dll is missing. Then, it fails to even install GTK+ at all.

I tried copying the GTK+ dll files from glade and pidgin to the TIEmu folder, but once I select a ROM the program just closes.

Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

Info:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
I got the emulator from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtktiemu/
And glade from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gladewin32/

Hello,

I've lurked for a long time on various calc forums, but this is my first actual account in a calc programming community. My 84+SE died a week ago after 5 years of honorable service, andI can't replace it since TI apparently doesn't make the SE anymore. So, I decided to get an 89 Titanium instead. I used to write lots of little programs in Axe, basic, and z80 asm, so I think I'll be able to pick up 68k reasonably quickly.
