So maybe they started using Super H processors as early as 1995 in all their calculators? (IIRC, the first color Casio calculator was released in 1995) Quote from: Juju on June 29, 2016, 01:11:51 AM Quote from: gameblabla on June 28, 2016, 10:58:57 PM Quote from: Juju on June 28, 2016, 09:47:44 PM Well, any emulator out there? Yes, there's MESS (now MAME) which emulates the Casio Loopy pretty well. But the AFX was said to have a 4 MHz CPU (although it was fast enough to allow a flickerless grayscale action RPG). I don't remember what they used because documentation is hard to find. It would be funny if the early Casio calcs also used SH processors. that confirms my suspicion that they used that architecture in (most of) their calcs for reasons beyond those detailed by TeamFX at In all, products like the Casio Loopy and the Casio ML-81 ("musical calc", also mentioned at TI-Planet previously) are good examples of the kind of exotic products Japanese companies like to create and show off at tech tradeshows, sometimes to never be seen again (at least outside of Japan). Ha! So Casio was already using SuperH back in 1995.

Japan: - Hey I have this really great idea - Let's make it and show it off at this tech tradeshow, let's see if everyone will like it! - Yeah come to think the target public is very narrow - I don't care, we have enough money to make it! America: - Hey I have this really great idea - lol no it's bad, not everyone will buy it, the target is narrow so it's not worth it and it's gonna suck anyway - but - I said no Might explain why Japan is the king of useless inventions, too. Japan don't really seem to have the same mentality as America when it comes to products.
