CEmu is a third-party TI-84 Plus CE / TI-83 Premium CE calculator emulator, focused on developer features.
CEmu works natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. For performance and portability, the core is programmed in C and its customizable GUI in C++ with Qt.
Note: CEmu is not a TI product nor is it TI-endorsed/affiliated. If you need an official TI CE emulator, TI-SmartView™ CE is for you.
Development builds are available here: https://ce-programming.github.io/CEmu/download
Official stable releases are available here: https://github.com/CE-Programming/CEmu/releases
Note that Release builds have an update checking feature, which is disabled in development builds.
