No, all programs are shown by Doors by default.

EDIT: I believe there are ways to make it not show up, such as marking it as a subroutine by another BASIC program or adding a special header.

Really? O.o Is it slower or something? I haven't seen any slowdown, though...

What I like about MirageOS is its ASM interrupts, though.

And as for ScoutDavid, did you get it on?

Uhh, lets just say I lost rooughly 3 days of hard work because MirageOS cleared my RAM while trying to run a Basic program >.>

Bug? What caused it?

* Deep Thought has to watch out for that...

yes, there is high chance of RAM clear when running Basic programs from MOS

Yeah same here. At least, not with Mirage 1.2...

Yeah, I've never seen anything wrong with Mirage, except that it didn't show Mario on a friend's calc. Maybe you were using an old version?

I always wondered about the Mario issue as well. I think that was on 83+/84+ calcs from mid 2004, right? Or maybe he downloaded the 83p file

No, I didn't. I found other OSs and trying to compare them:

Dorrs, Mirage,  etc.

Which one is best?

They're all shells, which were written for the normal 83+/84+ series. Not sure if they all work on the Nspire 84 keypad...

MOS is probably the best one for just 16 KB (one flash page), with a lot of really useful features, like ON interrupts that are really useful in ASM games ;) But if you have more mem, definitely get DoorsCS. It has xLIB and Celtic support, so you don't have to download those apps separately to run games made for them.

MirageOs requires a patch to work on the Nspire 84+ keypad so don't forget to grab it if you're gonna go for the smaller app.

It has to do with the header falling on a different page than the rest of the code or something to this effect.  Basically, UnArchiving and Archiving the program should fix it. :)  Oh, and it can happen to any program, as the flaw is in Mirage's code not the code of the programs themselves. ;)

Wow, never knew that, thanks. Must have happened to Mario a lot because it's such a large prgm...
