I noticed that pretty much the entire Prizm hacking discussion has moved to Cemetech now. Even people who hardly posts there, like Ashbad or Qwerty.55, now only use the Prizm board there to ask questions and post routines and ignore this one on Omnimaga. I understand projects will be going slowly for a while, since it's finals time, but I mean the development stuff from users who are mostly active here is now being posted on Cemetech and not here anymore. That of course exclude projects, but projects are out of the question with finals going on (and the contest).

Basically this sends the message that people do not want to use the Omnimaga PRIZM hacking board to discuss PRIZM programming anymore.

Now I understand that Omnimaga is where PRIZM hacking started, long before Cemetech, but the same thing happened with TI-Nspire hacking on UTI: People eventually moved the discussion about Ndless here, for some reasons, and eventually UTI merged the Nspire board with calc news. Life just goes on, and maybe people just found that discussing those things were better elsewhere. Now the same is happening here with the Prizm hacking section. People have just chosen to discuss about Prizm hacking elsewhere and I guess it's their choice.

This is why I am wondering if we should just move the topics in here into the other Casio discussion board and simply ditch prizm hacking discussion altogether?

Yeah my issue is more that some of the active Prizm coders has pretty much just moved their Prizm activity elsewhere. Fishbot tells me it's due to C being more popular than SH4 ASM there, but we still got some C users too, even if not necessarily for the Prizm, so some stuff might be useful to us too. The projects will pick up again eventually, but at the current rate I was kinda worrying that eventually the entire Prizm discussion would be moving out of Omni, which would make a Prizm-hacking board useless.

Cool to hear. It would definitively be nice to have some Axe-like stuff, because that's our main expertise and favorite style of language. I'm glad to hear about your school president too. It would be nice if more schools switched to the calc.

I think that is because Cemetech has shifted emphasis to the Prizm while the emphasis here is is still TI even though TI indicates again and again that they don't want our business.  On the other hand  Kerm basically said yeah, ti doesn't want us so screw em.  We have a good alternative in the Prizm so we don't need ti.  That sort of gives the impression that this is the ti site and Cemetech is the Prizm site.  Just my impression.

They're still 80% a 8x coding group working with assembly and BASIC.  However, they have no discussion whatsoever about the NSpire.  They have extremely profession C coders over there (Kerm , Tari, Jonimus, are no short than C geniuses) which is more of forcing us to go over there for help, as they refuse to help us more over here.  However, I plan on helping out over here more as well -- I can't really get help here, but I definately can help others and post routines I make.

I agree that you have a point there Ashbad. Right now I'm one of the only native Omni Prizm C coders (wow that was descriptive ) But I really don't have time right now to post much on that because this is the end of the school season right now. This summer though I can post more stuff in here, but the issue still remains that my audience is quite limited. I will though answer any Prizm C/C++ questions over here.

Maybe I'll spend some time converting all of the C routines into asm and then running trials to see which one is faster. I doubt GCC will be faster than my routines, but maybe tied. And the reason I use my own asm routines for floating point numbers is because I made a routines that use fixed point floating points which are faster than regular floats.

I hate posting the same stuff on several forums. Hence, I don't care what Cemetech does.

Well usually you just need to copy/paste so it isn't too much time-consuming, although if you have to post on like 4 forums it can take a long while, especially if one of them takes a long while to load. (United-TI, for example, which takes between 10-20 seconds per page)

That's why a love Omni so much, it's the fastest forums around 
And with posting on other forums I only cross post on Cemetech because that is really the only other active Prizm forum now. The only thing I have to change is my excessive use of smilies
