Couldn't run ALCDFIX inside of the 84 emu?

Spoiler For Spoiler:


More reasonable, is there any way that the OS could be modded to discard all frames drawn within like 25ms of a previous frame?


Edit: obviously not through lua... I need to get some sleep.

Netham if you use your C4 and get us the keys we will make the OS great...

If they did release the SDK, i am sure someone in the community will get their hands on it. And i mean if they are enterprising enough, one could always imitate and build a free SDK. i mean who knows how much protection they will have on it, but im sure one could get at it. Who knows maybe somebody could even create an API, and it works with Lua and the .Net framework. It would certainly make programming on the calculator a lot more mainstream and attract a lot of people to the community

I bet it will get cracked too, anyway. You'll check torrent sites and run into keygens and that crap. However the problem with that stuff is that most contain viruses so you need to watch out.

I think we should be supportive and hopeful for TI, they may be offset by negativity towards a possibly generous move.

I'm not sure what has motivated them to do this, but it's quite a radical departure from their track record as of late, I'd like to hope that it'd work out to be mutually beneficial.

If they've already released betas under the terms that they can give them out, I don't think that they'll be trying to charge for it either.


I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt here and remain hopeful as well. We'll see.

Well, one thing I guess is the following:

-A lot of people wanted more programming capabilities for the Nspire
-Their reputation was tarnished with OS 3.0.1 breaking calcs, something that made news on most TI websites. They wanted to repair their reputation
-Their reputation was tarnished with the many actions against developers, with the anti-downgrade protections. This made Slashdot several times, something very bad for their reputation, given how bad Sony reputation got.
-The Nspire did not sell enough due to bad programming capabilities vs price

Maybe it's just a change in direction, though, although not 100%, since they still don't allow ASM/C.

It seems like this SDK really did came, I'm astonished at TI being good rumors coming true.

The SDK really came indeed, but it doesn't seem to be more than the file that was leaked. And the official, leaked documentation doesn't contain much more than what had already been found by third parties...
Therefore, in practice, it's only a minimal change.

Some of the Lua samples leaked were written by TI late 2010. These samples are clearly to demonstate the API capabilities to developers, so the release of an SDK was already planned. There's no link between the OS 3.0.1 fiasco and these Lua tools.

Advanced programming capabilities has probably been in TI's backlog for a long time, but implemented only now, this doesn't mean any change in TI's strategy. What's new is the collaboration with members of the community.

Collaboration with members of the open development community... but only under NDA. They haven't opened up their mind yet.

Actually, that's how things used to be waaaay back in the day, so it's not really new per se, it's just ground they've decided to venture into yet again. We've yet to see how far they will go though, it's quite possible they'll go back to giving no info at all again. Only time will tell.

Lua has one advantage over ndless language: It's freaking easy after it's layed out, sometimes even fun.
