General resources for TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition calculators

Here is a list of some useful online TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition information and resources in English below, as of April 8th 2013:
First of all, the calculator features the following hardware:
-15 MHz Z80 processor (downclockable to 6 MHz)
-21.7 KB of user RAM (128 KB total)
-3.5 MB of user archive (4 MB total)
-320x240 & 160x240 resolution (the latter can be toggled with ASM)
-Horizontal scrolling support (z-adress)
-18 bit display for 262144 colors, where the TI-OS uses 16-bit mode with 65536 colors (15 in TI-BASIC plus transparency)
-Pictures can be either 4 bits 265x165 or 16 bits 133x83 and takes close to 22 KB of archive
-I/O and USB port
-Rechargeable battery
-Some TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus compatibility with TI-BASIC programs. ASM ones can be easily ported in some cases.
-On-calc TI-BASIC command syntax help (CtgHelp)
To create 4 bit color images (265x165, useable to store data for use with Pxl-test)
NOTE: TI-Connect can open 8ci pictures, but not create them. SourceCoder does the opposite: It can create them, but not open them.
So to create 4 bit images, you must import a 265x165 JPG/GIF/PNG in SourceCoder, save it as 8xi then change the extention to 8ci. To view the result, open the 8ci file with TI-ScreenCapture (TI-Connect 4.0).

I loled at the "takes 12-36 months for approval". Nice list, I imagine this can help people find their resources faster

It's actually 262144 colors. The screen internally uses 18-bit color. But TI uses the 16-bit mode because it's easier. Nevertheless, it is entirely possible to write an assembly program to produces 18-bit color, and in some circumstances (e.g. dynamic generation of color graphics) it is probably preferable to do so, because it supports an option for writing the red, green, and blue values separately.

That's a useful resource
Two additions:
* TILP works on MacOS X as well. There's a MacPorts package, and
http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/download/install_tilp.sh
works under MacOS X as well with the dependencies installed through MacPorts;
* there's an experimental version of TilEm with initial 84+CSE support. Jonimus published a binary for Windows somewhere, IIRC on Cemetech.

Oh nice I didn't know about the CSE-compatible TilEm. If someone finds it I will try to add it And thanks DrDnar.
Anybody knows what tools are available for Z80 assembly programming? Has Wabbitcode and DCS SDK been ported to the new calc yet?

UPDATE: Added link to Windows version of TI-Connect 4.0.
I also added information on how to create 8ci pictures (the 16 colors one that don't serve as background), since TI-Connect doesn't let you save in that format.
