There are a large number of projects that we can find on the internet that allow us to see the ability of electronic devices to run any type of application that we can find, and there are people who take it to another level. Now, we know that there are calculators that they are capable of execute gamesand a user has used a TI-84 Plus CE to play Sonic be practically unplayable.
Electronic devices have managed to evolve to a great extent, and even a calculator has the ability to act as a device to play games, something that would have been unthinkable a long time ago, but which currently seems strange to us, but possible. There are a large number of users that we have seen who have done projects that have allowed us to see how certain games were run on devices that we never thought possible, one of the great examples is the ability that people have to run DOOM anywhere, but This time, the game used is not so old.
A YouTube user demonstrates that you can play on a calculator
More and more people are joining in to create all kinds of different ways to play any type of video game, and there is a trend within the internet that is dedicated to turning any device into a gaming device. This causes people to try to run any type of title on a series of really unusual systems, and this time we have seen how one user has managed play to Sonic X Shadow Generations in one calculatoralthough this actually comes with a trick, since as such it is not the device itself that runs the game.
In this case, we can see how the user is playing this title, but what he is really doing is using the calculator as a controller to be able to control the character on the computer, that is, he is using the calculator itself as if it were a controller. . It is quite peculiar since this device allows you to see the images themselves on the screen itself, since all this is done thanks to the Calc2KeyCE software, which allows you to connect a TI-84 Plus CE to be able to send keyboard inputs and receive sequences video from a PC.
This does not mean that it is at all easy to play, and it has a fairly high difficulty if we take into account several factors, one of them would be the fact that it works at 2 FPS, but it is still not what adds the greatest complication. And the mess that results from having to press each of the buttons that the calculator incorporates is what can really become even more complicated, since the key combination that it shows is something that requires quite a lot of practice, such as we can see in the video.
