I think he meant a TI-84 Plus SE emulator for the Nspire CX Cas (and of course OS 3.0). I bet in the future it might be possible to put the CAS CX OS on a regular CX, though, although explaining how to do so on the forums would be against the rules since it's illegal.

That's why we got Ti-Planet :p :p

We would accounce the news but probably not make a tutorial about how to do it, it is indeed illegal and both dangerous for the TI and the community.

Here's a quick explanation for everybody :

The TI-Nspire product line relies heavily on the institutions that gives the exam acceptance agreement, and if more and more website were to disclose info on how to transform your non-CAS calc into a CAS one, this would negatively affect the institutions, which could very potentially say that the Nspire can't be allowed anymore (cas AND non-cas).
Of course, there wouldn't probably be a point anymore for TI to commercialize the Nspire since it'd become kinda useless for most of its users (high school students etc.). And then guess what ? No more TI-Nspire community.
Frightening, eh?


Hoping I'm clear enough to be understood since hacking is Nspire is awesome but we have to know that about certain points like nCas -> CAS, we all have to be careful, for the sake of both TI and the community behind it.

Yup, all very true

Messing with our own machine is not illegal since we bought it, own it.

I think that what would be illegal (or close to illegal, "borderline") is a detailed instructions manual on how to do it.

It's obiviously not the same, but it could be like a "how to build a nuclear weapon" or something. By itself, it can be chemistry for example, but the consequences can be dangerous.

Telling someone how to build a nuclear weapon is illegal since using a nuclear weapon is illegal. Since it's legal to install other software than the default software, telling others how to do so is also legal (as long as the software that's you're replacing the OS with is obtained legally, and in this case, it is, since you can download it from TI's website).

Well, we could start a nerd protest and boycott ti's calculators...

Well, for starters, they need to make better quality calculators. (upgrade 83/84 screen and memory)

they made a better screen powered calculator : Nspire (and more recently the Npsire CX)

Great news: Ndless 3.1 has been born!!!  However, it's not actually "out" yet.
