Downgrade your DS...

...and turn Nintendo's amazing handheld marvel, that oozes quality gaming like a particularly oozy thing oozes ooze, into a generally not-very-entertaining Texas Instruments TI-85 scientific calculator. Thankfully though, people seem to have programmed games for this thing too, so I guess you're in for a treat, as ztetris, zKart3D and more Z-games have been bundled with the emulator's download.

Ah, yes. The download. Get it here or even better see what MaxConsole makes of the thing.

  1. Is it strangely perverse to say I'm quite interested in doing this?
    I've already got into the habit of playing GBA games, bought for a fiver at Gamestation on my DS instead of £30 titles brought out for this 'next gen' handheld...
    I quite like the idea of making it into a '70s calculator for a while...
    God and I've just realised that the Sega Smash Pack GBA game that I've been enjoying on my DS is a revisionist title in itself!!!
    Jesus! I'm using an innovative 21st century console to play megadrive games!!!
    And so what!!! Anyone wanna fight!?
    Yer bastards!...Hic!... Are you looking at my bird??? Are you dissing the Dreamcast!?
    etc.etc.

  2. There, there, my friend... Have a nice cup of tea and everything will be fine again. Care for some pizza too perhaps?

    No, I'm sorry, no more Tequila for you unfortunately. My poor granny needs it... Sory...

    Other than that though, I totally sympathize with your retro tendencies...

  15. Good find...the TI-85 is still the best scientific/graphing calculator produced. I'm still using mine on a daily basis, fifteen years later...

  16. Ah, such a kind a Possum... Haven't used any scientific calculators for quite a few years now, but I'll take your word on the TIs quality! Cheers!
