48sx : The HP48 sx emulator !

HP48sx is a vintage RPN calculator. I used this calc 30 years ago ;-) I love this calc....and now I can have it in my pocket every day !

HP48sx emulator for Android, released on the Play Store. The bundled ROM is free for non commercial use. No nag, no Ad, completely FREE!

48sx is a modified version of droid48 but for the HP48 SX, the credit goes to Arnaud Brochard (author of droid48 for Android), and of course Eddie C. Dost (author of x48 for UNIX) who created an emulator of the Saturn processor in 1990.
