CalcSys
« on: June 11, 2010, 01:06:41 am »
If CalcSys has the ability to instantly fix a problem that I had for months, I want to know what else this APP can do.

Fellow Omnimaga members, I implore you to tell me the secrets of this program. Go!

Calcsys is kinda like regedit for your calculator, it can both fix and totally break things if yoru not careful, but yeah any dev can tell you calcsys can be one helpfull tool.

There is also a little number guessing game, type SMILE in the console. But all the numbers are in hex. ;D

I use for lock and unlocking programs. And hex editing memory for finding TI-BASIC tokens and I revealed all the characters of Notefolio APPS frlom TI.

I think I can easily convert a program to an appvar... Never tested it.
And there are some funny stuff to do like disassembly of the TI-OS oncalc, see your VAT, etc.

I use it to (un)lock programs. And mess around w/my RAM. (The VAT is especially fun :P)
Also, there are several undocumented commands for the console. I won't bother to list them here, but I'll tell you that if you find where in the app the command list is stored, you'll see all of them. My favorite is GREENLIGHTGO. Try it. And trust me, it doesn't crash your calc.

lol I really need to give CalcSys a try one day x.x

I never used it since I had no clue how to use that kind of stuff.

It is apparently a miracle worker for calculators. :D

IMHO no developer calculator is complete without CalcSys.  It presents many options to the well-versed calculator user.  I consider it an invaluable tool.

It depends. I think it's a bit narrow-minded to say that. If you only program in pure BASIC and don't want to lock your programs and don't need anything that doesn't require ASM, you are fine. Otherwise it can come handy at times. However, the average hi level programmer will not know how to use it. In my case I did not install it for that reason. I wouldn't even have been able to figure out what I am doing with it, simply because I would need to know how the calc works and stuff.

That is definitely fair, but if you really explore its uses, there is a plethora of useful things for a TI Basic developer, too.  I used it even before I was too into Asm.

yeah I know. I was just saying, since there are a lot of people here who are not necessarly into such low level stuff. We have to also make sure to not imply people who don't use Calcsys or don't have it on their calc are inferior or not good coders

Of course not.  I mean no harm to those who do not use CalcSys, I was just stating that it is a vital part of my personal coding style.
For some projects, such as Mosaic, I even have it set as a dependency from TI Developer.
