56. Make sure to play around with fake Mem Clear applications and hit the Reset All button.

That happened to me on my Nspire 84 keypad :)

(the only thing was, that it had good results, as I did not have to go through the trouble of deleting all of TI's useless apps :P)

I had that happen to me while I was testing my own fake reset app. Luckily enough it was my only project at the time :P

What was the problem occuring with BrandonW's fake mem clear? Did it just actually RAM clear for real?

It hid all the programs, making it appear like they were lost

oh ok x.x

Weird. What would be the way around that? (Besides CalcSys)

Well, what happened with me was, I enabled the Fake app, then fake reset ram. Then I restored the "lost" programs. After that, I tried Reset All, unaware that I had to enable the Fake app again. :(

Ouch x.x. Yeah sometimes it's great to know some stuff in advance when coding. One thing I wish I knew when I coded Illusiat 2002 is that MirageOS 1.1 took 4 hours to sort 90 sub-programs, that lowercases were 2 byte tokens and that disabling the sorting option was a bad idea for your archive.

#56: Self-testing is completely safe and actually helps you get rid of data corruption.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that its not just sorting a regular list like us programmers are used to, but it has elements that are different sizes because of different program names, and it has to make room for them all in order to sort them all around.

Yeah the sorting algorithm was not suitable for large lists of programs. It was much faster than 1.2 with 3 or 4 prog but otherwise it was insane. I was stuck with 1.1 for 3 years. I was so happy when 1.2 came out (although now I use Doors)
