TI Nspire
The TI-Nspire is a graphing calculator heavily updated for a world in the smartphone age. For one, it's not just another 30-year old Z80 design; the CX models sport a powerful 150MHz ARM processor, equal to the Pocket PCs of old.
However, it's true power is hidden behind a wave of security controls and some ineffectual BASIC and Lua scripts. This guide is about installing Ndless and trying out a wave of emulators, programs, scripts, all kinds of things to get you through Calculus class without sleeping.
This guide works with both the original TI-Nspire and the improved CX version. Just note that the CX calcs will be more practical for CPU intensive or color apps like emulators.

{{Note|Your calculator must be at firmware version 3.1 or less to install Ndless 3.1. Ndless on 3.2 will require you to downgrade your firmware.}}
- Nspire Ndless - Ndless enables allows custom apps to be run on the TI-Nspire using traditional programming languages, like any decent computer.
- Nspire Ndless SDK - Ndless also provides a nice SDK for developers to work in, packing a nice emulator to boot.
