Bonjour!
« on: December 07, 2009, 05:48:41 pm »
Hello! I'm Fred, a currently sixteen-year old highschool student running on six hours of sleep a day and still finding some time to improve his TI-BASIC skills.

Hoping to contribute a few games eventually... I'll put in right now that there has been some truly amazing work done here, and I hope that I can attain that level of awesomeness some day!

I'm a calculator dabbler... I know more ways to clear RAM (and to mess up your calculator while not clearing RAM) than most non-ASM programmers probably do... ever tried giving CODEX invalid inputs? Don't. It can do bad things to your screen.  :o

Anyways, that's all for now... if you have any questions, just ask... I'll answer them, eventually, I promise... :P

Hi!

My favorite RAM clear is running AsmProg00
:) Try it!

Welcome! Bring the good stuff soon.

And more care about bad inputs. Some LCD stuff can damage it...

It will basically do the calculator execute random code after the place the program is in RAM...

Can that be very bad?
(Like worse than a RAM clear?)

Depends on what you have on your calculator (ram). Frequently the cpu will execute code until a "ret" instruction or reach the ram execution page limit (what limits asm programs executable part being bigger than 16 kbs, well this can be overcome with smart programming). TI-OS can take the control normally but because probably some code changed RAM, the OS will do a RAM Clear.

But it is somewhat unlikely to happen anything worse than a RAM clear. ASCII data as z80 opcode is frequently loading instructions between registers (not harmful) but TI-BASIC tokens can bring more dangerous instructions... Also if right after the AsmPrgm00 there is a ASM program (not shell specific and squished) it can be executed normally. XD

I think you have beaten a teaser of the smaller code to RAM clear. xD

Waitwaitwait...

AsmPrgm00? That gives me a syntax error. I must be missing something.

When you run it (in a program, as the first and only line) you need the Asm( token in front of it. :)

Ahh! Okay. I'll have to try that tomorrow. :P

Have you tried things like {4,20,20,0,0:Asm(prgmCODEX? Whenever I do something like that my screen turns upside down and the contrast fades to zero, and it won't go up to a point where math is actually doable. The only way to get rid of it is a battery pull!

Sounds almost like something you can do with Celtic III when you try to pass decimals in it's screenshift command :p

Hi, and welcome to Omnimaga ;D

Here are some complementary peanuts


On a side note, one way to always clear RAM is with AsmPrgmC7.  It makes the calculator think you pulled the batteries so it resets :D

Edit: It works. :)
I like that. What's at C7?

C7 is the "rst 00h" opcode, which calls address $0000 (which holds the code that happens before a ram clear)

I have to try those RAM clears when I get my RPG files out of my calculator!

Thanks for the peanuts, yum yum. Peanut butter jelly time!

I have once caused a strange Memory Clear when I tried to run a TI-BASIC program seriously. :o

What is the satisfaction to see RAM Clear? ???
