Get Old Nspire OS Directly from TI
« on: April 20, 2010, 11:29:24 am »
In their infinite fail, there is a very good chance that older versions of the Nspire TIOS are still available from education.ti.com.  So far, I have found two different versions of the OS by url guessing, and I'm using the wayback machine to find the old url.  If I find a good link, I will post it, and there will finally be an easy way to get the OS legitimately.  At least, until they notice.

That would be very cool if they still had a copy. Hopefully they won't monitor their web stats well and will not notice people downloading from their place if it's found. I hope they have a copy of OS 1.1 hidden somewhere.

Nice good job

It reminds me OS 2.43. TI made it unavailable on the US website but it's still available on the "Singapore approved applications" page. It's not because the page is outdated because they also include 2.53 MP there.

Is 1.7 compatable with Ndless?  Because I could probably go back even further, if need be.

nope. Only 1.1 is. Ndless will eventually be compatible with 1.7 or higher, though. I just have no clue when. Ndless 2 could come out in a week like it could come out in 2 years. Heck, maybe it could never actually come out. Only 5% of the TI community projects gets finished, after all. (people usually become too busy to finish them or they lose interest and retire from calc programming)

Yeah, I'll look for 1.1 then.

Yeah, I already looked about a week ago. I was only able to find 2.0 and 1.7.

Btw remember version is not exactly version 1.1, it's 1.1.9253. Other versions also have other digits after the version X.X number. Some copies of 1.1 I found online included those digits in the file name.

Nice find, too bad we can't get the 1.1 version from there. That would be epic.

Major projects like Ndless will be continued by others in a question of time, I think.
Like what is happening to Tilp and related projects of Romain.
Hobbing in calculator projects.

Maybe someone could take over too. But yea I've been around for almost 9 years and almost every project die due to lack of interest and time. It's typical in the open source and freeware application world. This is why I always recommend to release what you got as soon as you feel doubts about the future of the project, so at least nothing is lost. This is also why I feel some ticalc releases deserves a feature even in beta form if they're alerady good and functional enough, like Axe Parser 0.1.5 and above. I hope it gets finished, but if in any case, Axe Parser was never finished and it never got a feature because it didn't have the v1.0 number stuck on it, people who did not follow the project on Omnimaga would miss it and it would get forgotten anywhere else in the TI community. Omnimaga gets 56 times less traffic than Ticalc.org, after all.

Great idea Sircmpwn!  It would be cool to find 1.1 on their site! ^-^

One thing, though: I don't think future versions of Ndless should fetch their copy of an OS from TI site. I think they should put a link in the instructions instead, because maybe TI would notice earlier. Also idk if TI website allows hotlinking

I'm sure it was early 2007, which makes it very unlikely that it is still in TI's downloads.
