A quick summary of some TI-85 emulators

I tried a few TI-85 emulators, hoping that they would be more convenient than testing code on a real calculator. Here are some observations using my version 9 TI-85 ROM:

• Wabbitemu has a nice user interface. The TI-86 skin looks great, and it's nice how I get visual feedback when I press buttons. I don't mind that it's not a TI-85 skin. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to transfer TI-85 files to the emulator, so it's useless for development.
• TilEm 0.972 looks kind of ugly due to the scaled up low resolution skin, and the screen standing out too much. Multiple attempts to transfer a backup to the calculator failed, and so I couldn't use it for running assembler programs. I couldn't get 0.973 to display the skin.
  
• Virtual TI 2.5 has some problems, but it is usable. In Windows 7, it has to be run as Administrator (or else I get a "Failed to set data for 'LastEmuVersion'" error). I've had some linking failures, but I was generally able to transfer a backup after resetting the calculator. When transferring variables, I got annoying linking errors whenever a variable under that name exist, so I'm forced to delete variables before re-uploading them. The skin looks worse than Wabbitemu, but it is a TI-85 skin which looks like my TI-85, and it looks a lot better than TilEm.
