11. Link port
The link port can be set-up with the Link
options
item:
11.1 Direct File loading
When cable is set to null,
TiEmu uses its direct file loading/saving capability. That is to say,
you can 'send' a file from disk to TiEmu and vice-versa (Send file to TiEmu item of popup
menu).
The port and calc settings are not used.
The timeout value can be increased/decreased to adjust timeout of
direct file loading.
The direct file loading allows you to load files or FLASH applications.
For FLASH OS, you are encouraged to use the ROM version dialog box
instead.
11.2 Virtual cables
Note : at the time being,
ticables2 virtual link
capability can not be
used with ticables1 library unless you are running ticables1 v3.9.7 mini.
There are 2 virtual cables: VTi
& TiEmu.
To connect VTI and TiEmu :
- run VTI; next, run TiEmu
- choose the VTi cable, port #2
- open the VTI menu, go to Enable
Cable
Link and be sure that Virtual
Link is checked.
To connect TiLP1 and TiEmu2 :
- run TiEmu; next, run TiLP
- choose the TiEmu cable, port #1 in TiEmu
- choose the TiEmu cable, port #2 in TiLP
To connect TiEmu and TiEmu :
- run 2 instances of TiEmu
- choose the TiEmu cable on
both,
port #1 and port #2 respectively.
11.3 Real cables
At the time being, there are 3 link cables useable with TiEmu: GrayLink, BlackLink and ParallelLink. SilverLink is
supported but not useable yet.
A cable is plugged into a port. There are 3/4 ports depending on the
cable type:
|
BlackLink or GrayLink
|
ParallelLink

Note: If you want to use the parallel cable under Linux as a regular
(non-root) user, you must have the tipar kernel module (as module or
built-in) present on your system. Likewise, the BlackLink cable
requires the tiser module (or root privileges).
