BrandonW fixes TI-84 Plus (SE) OS 2.53MP for xLIB compatibility
« on: April 15, 2010, 03:13:56 am »
Tonight, BrandonW has finally did what Texas Instruments should have been doing since the release of OS 2.53MP rather than trying to hinder 3rd-party Nspire developers: fix the new TI-84 Plus OS 2.53MP bugs so it runs programs like xLIB correctly. His edit of the OS is currently avaliable on his website and with his permission, we are providing the link to it. To prevent issues, we have decided to not host a copy of the file ourselves.

Keep in mind that BrandonW will take this link down as soon as TI fixes those issues themselves (if that ever happens at all).

More information about this patch such as what exactly was fixed can be found at http://www.brandonw.net .

Brandonw, that's an awesome post on your site. :) I'm glad you've fixed these bugs.  I really hope TI notices and fixes their own OS. ;D

yeah I was happy to see this ^^

Now I hope if TI ever sends him a DMCA notice and that he loses (for some reasons I kinda doubt it) that they'll have the courtesy to at least fix their crap themselves

I forgot to ask him, though: does this includes the PTT patch?

Does this only increase compatability with xLIB, or does  it fix all incompatibilities.

This doesn't include the Press-to-Test patch; this ONLY fixes the bug that causes xLIB incompatibility.

If there are other bugs or issues you'd like to see fixed, by all means, please let me know! I would really love to dig into this OS and get it straightened out once and for all.

Just let me know what the issue is and how to very easily duplicate it and I'll dig into it. Via IRC would be best since I can go back-and-forth with you on it.

Well, of what I know, there are also incompatibilities with CalcUtil and OmniCalc. I actually run 2.43. If you can give me a ROM image of 2.53MP, I'll test stuff for you.

There's a separate thread on United TI about the many Omnicalc problems. OS 2.53MP to some extent was an attempt to obsolete some Omnicalc features, like parentheses assistant, and Omnicalc deals with a lot of OS integration which 2.53MP would surely break. It's not so much the OS' fault.

Has CalcUtil been tested with the updated 8XU? If so and there's still a problem, what exactly is the issue? What could easily be done to duplicate it?

TilEm accepts OS transfer during emulation. You can easily 'upgrade' your rom file that way. Not sure about Wabbit, though.

Great work Brandon!!!

Now let's try to guess how many months it will take TI to fix that...

lol, nicely done Brandon! I am quite eager to see TI's reaction to this, hopefully they won't be jerks about things and actually fix it, or even better, hire you, since you seem to be more intelligent then their entire programming team that works on the 84+ os. XD
