Well met, travelers
I first want to say I don't own a TI.
BUT, I am a affectionado of minimalist RPG games and in that realm, you TI guys rule. I've played Joltima and Shadow of N

Welcome to Omnimaga!

I am sure xlibman wouldn't have a problem setting up a forum for discussions, if you want. Also, if you are working on an Ultima clone, then I think you should check out Ranman's Ultima V remake for the 89/92+ calcs that he is working on

You can find more info at these links:

Awesome!! Another Ultima fan! B)

Welcome to Omnimaga!

I think we are a dying breed... but we know the classic Ultima games rule!

Hmmm... The Cybiko and the TI-89 have the exact same screen resolutions. And with a few tricks, the TI-89 is capable of 4 shades of gray too (in reality it is monochrome.)

Can someone say Ultima V on a Cybiko? Or, maybe Ultima Dark Runes on the TI-89?

Is there a C development environment for the Cybiko? What type of tech specs does the Cybiko have?

Hey welcome here

I really need to setup forums for PC projects ^^ we alerady have a few from non staff (we even have staff who don't even code for calcs at all) I cant wait to see your game ^^

I made RPGs for TI calcs as well for 83+/SE but they arent running as smooth as Joltima and Narkemen as I can only do BASIC

this is my files actually

Don't start that again.
But hey, welcome to the calc RPG headquarters, Omnimaga!

ey mate! nice to see some pc programmers around. Maybe sometime you could pick up a TI and wow us (or at least me) with some amazing stuff?

The Cybiko is a handheld device. It looks like a mix between a calculator, a Blackberry, and a PDA.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:02:00 am »

wow that almost want me to get one o.o

Radical Pi · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:02:00 am »

I know, its because calc buttons are in perfect columns...
Neat little device; I might check it out more.

Welcome to Omnimaga! I'm eager to see the finished version of Ultima Dark Runes.

josephmarin · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2006, 11:34:00 am »

pretty trippy little device

Athlor · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2006, 01:48:00 am »

Blackberry 957:
25mhz 386ex processor
160x160 monochrome display
1mb ram 8mb flash
Cybiko:
11mhz SH3 processor (22mhz Extreme version?)
160x100 4-level grayscale display
512k ram 512k flash (1.5mb ram 512k flash Extreme version?)

We are all brothers in so far as having b/w handhelds.
Yes both have C sdk's but the Cybiko's only generates code for it's VM which is about 1/4 of what it could do natively.
Here is my Ultima DR minimalized tileset. Feel free to use:

wow thats pretty great, I wish I could play this

, can this lil device do grayscale? Just wondering because some TI calcs can do it (altough it can be very slow on all model lower than 85). I like your avatar btw
