Working 68k emulator for macOS?

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

TiEmu doesn't work. I'm looking for an alternative that can emulate the TI-89 Titanium.

Working 68k emulator for macOS?

I'm looking for an emulator capable of emulating the TI-89 Titanium. I'm running macOS, and TiEmu always crashes with a segfault.

(I would post an image, but "Guests and low-karma users are not allowed to publish links on this site.")

TiEmu works on on Boot Camp Windows 10, but VMware Fusion won't detect my Boot Camp volume (for virtualization), TiEmu doesn't work properly in WINE, and I hate Windows overall as a development environment.

I think my only option is to look for another 68k emulator.

Any recommendations?

Try VTI, it works great for me :)

It supports the TI-89, but not the TI-89 Titanium.

Additionally WINE runs VTi very slowly. It took 5 minutes to start up, and I've been waiting 10 minutes and I'm still waiting for it to load after selecting a TI-89 ROM.

EDIT: In WINE, the screen doesn't show (it just shows as white), skins can't load, and the keyboard doesn't work. Screenshotting to clipboard still works but it's a very annoying way of checking what's on the screen.

So, my solution was to use Parallels. It gets the job done quite well :P

Glad to hear you found a solution! I don't run macOS, so I can't really be helpful with mac related things :P
