Does anyone think a Pico-Calc emulator is possible? Has it been done already?

No problem, has been done already. You can download the emulator from [Geoff's Projects - BASIC Interpreter for the Raspberry Pi Pico](https://geoffg.net/picomite.html)

Thank you ernst.

I actually had something like a virtual picoCalc in mind. I am terrible at coding, else I would try to build it.

This is the only thing I’ve seen that is similar. It could probably be adapted to approximate the keyboard and display, but the existing examples are much simpler and tend to just provide LEDs and stuff that might be used with the bare Pico module. I’m not even sure how practical it would be to try to simulate the screen and keyboard since they depend on the STM32 and the firmware loaded on it, so all that would need to be simulated too.

Thx for the response adcockm. Ironically I posted this question on Wokwi discord around the same time I made this post. Response I got was that it is too complex, which is fair enough and what I suspected. One can dream.
