Yup, they all do, I think.

Though, should he decide to go with Doors CS, it has NoShell-like functionality ;)

Yeah I knew about DCS. I was wondering since some people might prefer a 32 KB smaller app. I personally prefer Doors despite its size, but on my regular 83+ I have to either delete Axe or Doors when I play large games because both together eat half of my user archive.

Well, since the topic title contains TI-84+SE... ;D
Mentioning NoShell is probably good anyway, in case someone with an 83+ and a similar problem finds this topic :)

Yeah, I'd use Doors, but with a dozen or so groups filled with projects on hold, a 2 KB Axe, and other stuff, my archive's just about filled. An 84+ wouldn't have a problem with that, though. Use Doors :)

No, if you want No Shell, use CalcUtil.  It's muck better in my opinion and it's the same size. :)

Yep, it is. CalcUtil has more features like locking/unlocking and archive stuff.

Or you could just use MirageOS, which is still pretty popular. Basically, every time you want to play an assembly game, you'd have to go into the app (called a shell), but you can get used to it easily. Plus, it's got lots of features, and nice graphics :)

I didn't know about CalcUtil, actually... yeah, it sounds better from what you said.
As for MirageOS, the [ON]+Apps hook (and pressing [ON] when in the apps menu) makes accessing it easier.

Oh, yeah, and another good thing about MirageOS: When you're playing a game and it suddenly freezes on you, you can use Mirage's convenient ON+CLEAR hook to quit.

EDIT: Hmm, wondering: Does DCS support something like this?

I don't think it does, actually, nor does it have something like MirageOS's [ON]+# for screenshotting or [ON]+F-key (like Y= or Zoom) for setting interrupt speed. The only thing is that it's an interrupt, not a hook. (Which can be disabled if you so wish.)
One other thing I like about MirageOS is its option to disable write-back for archived programs. Nice when you don't want some programs to save your highscore or when you want to save wear and tear on the Flash ROM.
Edit: * calcdude thinks he should bug Kerm about this ;D

Not all the time. Some ASM games disables the MirageOs ON options. I like the ON options cuz I could speed up/slow down some games and get out of some crashes ;D . I wish it worked for all games, tho.

Yeah, I like that feature, especially with limited flash mem.

Edit: * calcdude thinks he should bug Kerm about this ;D

YES, definitely. An extra interrupt routine shouldn't add too much mem :)

Yeah, I couldn't even test my own contest entry without slowing the game down :P

The good thing is that most games that could potentially be unstable allow the Mirage hooks. Except for Reversi x.x
