Emu48 can emulate a HP38G, HP39G, HP40G, HP48SX, HP48GX, HP49G and more.

Features & Capabilities

Emu48 for Android is a powerful open-source emulator that replicates classic HP calculators like the HP38G, HP39G, HP40G, HP48SX, HP48GX, and HP49G on Android devices. Originally developed for Windows, this app leverages a thin Win32 emulation layer over the Android NDK, allowing it to maintain full compatibility with the original Emu48 source code.

Users can open and save calculator states using the exact same .e48 and .e49 files as the Windows version. The app includes embedded KML scripts and faceplates, with support for loading custom KML files and dependencies. Featuring a no-permission-required design, it uses Android's content:// scheme for file access, ensuring privacy and security. Emu48 for Android is licensed under the GPL and encourages contributions, with its source code available on GitHub. Notably, features like the disassembler and debugger are not yet functional. This emulator brings the convenience of HP calculator emulation into the palm of your hand with an authentic experience and open development.

User Reviews

Emu48 on Android is a beloved, faithful HP-48 emulator that offers strong portability, reliable performance, and rich customization, making it a go-to for HP-48 enthusiasts. However, it frequently encounters file permission issues for ROM/KML, occasional UI bugs after updates (notably full-screen behavior), and limitations around exporting data and deleting saved calculators. Overall, it delivers a near-authentic experience with some ongoing setup and permission challenges.

Pros

Very faithful HP-48 emulation that closely matches the real device and programs.
Highly portable and convenient to use on Android, always in your pocket.
Supports loading and running older programs, with backup/state features and easy device migration.
Rich feature set with customization options (audibles, skins) and multiple calculators.
Generally reliable and stable, with users reporting years of satisfactory use.

Cons

Frequent permission/file access issues for ROM/KML files, including missing files and 'persistable permission' errors.
Post-update UI problems: full-screen mode can be blocked and the bottom navigation bar may stay visible.
Difficulties exporting or sharing data; lack of straightforward text export or editor integration.
Inability to delete saved calculators or manage saved files.
