Miss my 48g

This has been working great for me, but now the screen is not showing anything when I enter numbers. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Great to have the hp48 back

Indeed the greatest scientific and engineering calculator ever. The ones nowadays may have more power for less money but are clearly oriented to college students, not university or professionals. One thing I would like to see in this emulator is realistic pictures rather than the drawing type interface.

Exceptional Emulator

This is a phenomenal emulator. I use an HP48GX daily for my engineering work, and have lots of customization - KEYMAN, UNITMAN, lots of applications loaded, etc.

This emulator allows you to load up any of these customizations very easily - more easily than on the real hardware in fact.

I do manage to crash it frequently when messing around with the applications and configuration in various ports, but it usually restarts back within a couple of actions.

Overall I’m super impressed with this and use it all the time when I don’t have the real thing at hand.

Good but constantly crashes

Love it, except for the fact that it constantly crashes on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Doesn’t crash for my coworker, don’t know what sort of phone she has…
