More emulator goodness from master coder Zx-81! He's just dropped by our PSP forums informing us of another release of PSPXTI: A TI-92 Calculator emulator v1.2.0. This PSP homebrew is a port of Xtiger, a unix emulator of Texas Instrument's TI-92 calculator originally created by Jonas Minnberg. Zx-81 managed to tweak it after Misha Nasledov made it open sourced.

Anyway, we have a very lean changelog for this version, but that doesn't make it any less important. On the contrary, I personally think that with this update, Zx-81 has made a huge leap in making this port stand out. Why? Well PSPXTI v1.2.0 now has IR keyboard support. The good developer has a few reminders about using this though, here they are:

* You need the rom of your TI-92 or TI-92 plus, but it is NOT part of the PSPXTI package because it is the property of Texas Instruments
* This version works 1.5 and custom firmware 3.X-OE
* It's distributed under GNU licence and sources are included
* It has been developed on linux for Firmware 1.5 and 3.03-OE, and for the IR keyboard
part it has been tested using a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard

That should clear any confusion regarding this application. However, for installation and instructions on how to use this, make sure you go over the readme file included in the download. There's also a PDF version of the TI-92 manual available in the thread, so you might want to take a look at that too.
