TilEm is an emulator of Zilog 80-based graphic calculators manufactured by Texas Instruments. TilEm must be built from source code, requires ROM images, installs to /usr/local/bin, and is a CPU hog.

  1. Install needed development packages.
    sudo yum install gtk2-devel
  2. Acquire the source code.
    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/tilem/files/tilem-devel/0.973/tilem-0.973.tar.bz2/download
  3. Unpack the source code and enter the root directory.
    1. bzip2 -d tilem-0.973.tar.bz2
    2. tar xf tilem-0.973.tar.bz2
    3. cd tilem-0.973
  4. Configure the makefile.
    ./configure
  5. Make tilem.
    make
  6. Install tilem.
    sudo make install
    tilem installs to /usr/local/bin/ by default.
  7. Install the TI ROMs to ~/.TilEm.
    1. mkdir ~/.TilEm
    2. cp rom_files ~/.TilEm/.
