@MPoupe, how many FPS we can get in cgplayer 2 (jpg based) with overclock?

With 150% overclock I would expect 3 fps :-)
But I have to check how much time is spent in I/O (reading the file), because this can be completely avoided by direct flash access. I would expect 4 fps for that version.

The download link doesn't work Helder7

. Mind using a more reliable file upload site, such as Mediafire?

Also MPoupe, would it be possible to make sure the video quality doesn't become too high or even remain as low as possible? This is just in case the video player went under bad hands and caused Casio to block add-ins. The have stated that they would not block add-ins for now, but if any add-in were made to allow custom images on american models or that any image/video tool able to let people cheat on tests were made (in your video case, the quality is fortunately too poor to allow someone to read answers or notes on the screen), this could lead to extremely bad consequences for the PRIZM community (see what TI is doing with the TI-Nspire, for example).

What particular action do you mean I should do?

Make videos compressed enough to destroy the image quality as much as possible to make any text impossible to read, but still look watchable. Example below (another idea is reducing resolution to 84x48 then scaling the videos back up):

new download link avaliable for cgplayer2 convertion tool.

I do not think it necessary to further reduce the quality, because any text in video becomes unreadable when converted, and the calculator will fill up, 15mb is very little space...

Unfortunately I do not have monopoly to create video. Anyone can create video and I cannot unrelease already released cfgplayer2.
So if I decrease the output quality of the cgplayer2, anyone can downgrade to current version (or simply not upgrade from current version).
Source code is already available.

Ok, well currently the quality isn't very high anyway, so I don't think it should be a problem. I was just talking about if you ever discovered a way to have even higher quality at high speed or something.

OK, this would be easy ;-)
Currently I focus more on FXTerm and I hope it is not an issue :-)

helder7 asked me to post this. He says that it is a "grayscale video converter for prizm".

http://www.casio-scene.com/showthread.php?1364-Prizm-CGplayer2-and-3-Video-Conversion-Tools&p=12154#post12154

It has both converters, so don't get them confused.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #115 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:01:37 pm »

Interesting, I'll have to check them out at one point.
