What?
You can install any OS you have the 8xu file for.  No OS can stop you from doing so.

Yeah, that's because all the code to do that is apparently on the boot page, which can't be erased by software means.

It just basically forces the calc to receive what you send, no matter what it is.

Well, it can only receive OSes AFAIK. It can't handle variables, programs, taking screenshots and such.

So parts of the TIOS can never be removed by convential methods. Does it do anything else other than download the OS.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

I don't think it does anything else, but it certainly is useful :D This is progressing awesomely, you really are working hard on it!  The app installer is a brilliant idea and also very cool as well ^^ i can't wait to see this in action!

It can perform some kind of test on your calc if a certain button combination is used. The test erases most of the flash memory, and does a bunch of other normally useless stuff.

There's really no reason to want to remove the boot page. It offers a great way to recover when the OS is corrupt.

And on that note, it tests like 2 bytes to see if there is a "valid" OS.  Which brings up the question, will KOS auto-validate itself?

No, the boot page validates an OS when receiving it.  KnightOS validates fine.

Yep, MODE. (Don't actually do this :P)

Hey guys.
Sorry to continuously disappoint, but I may have to push this back again.  I'm grounded once more.  I'll try to sort this out quickly, but if I can't, then I will release the developer preview 15 days from when I am no longer grounded.  I cannot work on KnightOS outside of a very specific environment.  However, I can work on tiDE in many environments, and if that progresses fast enough, I will start using it for development, as it will run portably.

I'm definitely not gonna ask what you did (however curious I am), but how on earth can you project stuff so accurately?  Also, I assume you are only grounded from calcs?
