Can't send files to PTI!
« on: February 20, 2007, 06:32:00 pm »
After being disappointed by TiLem, I decided to use PTI. I have learned many of the functions of PTI, bu I have a major problem: PTI doesn't accept any file I send to it! O_Oshocked2.gif Whenever I try to send a file, it says "Transmission Error"...

What ROM are you using? Care to take an animated screen shot? (of your whole desktop, not just Pindur).

You have to retrieve the files from the calculator from the RAM, not in the archive. For some reason, PTI does not like files taken from archive...

Thanks tifreak8x, now it works :bow:worship.gif

EDIT: Alright, the files are sent, but...whenever I try to run one of my programs, the emulator crashes! It does the same thing if I go into the memory menu :???:confus.gif

Sending archived files results in a transmission error! Will you fix it?

This has been a long lasting sore point in the history of PindurTI. There are certain ROM images floating around whose archive functionality is broken. You can easily test this by loading the ROM, creating a simple variable (e.g. typing 1→A) and trying to archive it. With broken ROMs the TIOS will react with ERR:BAD ADDRESS. The same ROMs produce exactly the same behaviour on TilEm, so it’s not likely to be a bug in PindurTI. On the other hand, it might happen that a previously working ROM image gets corrupted this way by PindurTI (or other programs), so you should definitely keep a backup of your ROM images. If you notice such a corruption, please try to find a series of steps to reproduce the error (starting with a definitely working ROM image) and tell me! The only likely cause in my opinion is loading apps, since they are force loaded instead of sent through the virtual link port (because that takes uncomfortably long time), and I might be overlooking something about this process.

At the same time, it seems to be possible to fix these ROM images using PTI. Simply delete all your apps, which initiates a defragmentation. This should revive the archive functionality.
