TI seems fully capable of programming its OS's. The things about the OS's that are bad are things that us programmers use. I view that as just another PTT, a (futile) attempt by TI to undermine the programming community.

Will the current PTT patch work with that OS or would it be better to not take any chance?

And lol tifreak8x it would actually be funny if they eventually hired Brandon as programmer. Once and for all the OSes we would get would finally have all their bugs fixed or maybe run faster :P and maybe if TI listened to him their OSes would finally have features the community wants

Great work, Brandon! Glad to see this got fixed :) I agree with tifreak and DJ, would be interesting (but very good) if TI hired you :P

Press-to-Test patches should work fine. By design, this 8XU has very few changes from the official TI-OS -- the point I want to make is that this is in no way malicious. It literally only fixes their bugs and nothing else.

ok thanks for the info. And yeah I understand your goal. Now I hope TI awnsers our wishes and fix those bugs next release or won't bother you.

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
lol, That would be awesome! ;D

I have two minor gripes with the New OS that I don't think can be resolved (in basic):
The flag for displaying "Done" and the flag that erases the line of pixels below text in small font can no longer be changed.  Are these OS glitches, or does TI just hate letting Basic programmers manipulating these flags? :)
Thanks! :D

I wonder if BrandonW could actually fix those... and maybe also the errors with inverted text (see news article regarding the new OS)

Oh, right!  I forgot about that one.  Is that one fixable as well? :D

Knowing BrandonW I am certain it could be done, but I wonder how easy it would be.

Depends on the changes.

In the past there weren't programmers of the community offering to work to TI without answer or with negative answer? (Michael Vincent?)
I doubt, but it would be really cool. But (maybe?) Brandon would have to face divergence on most decisions by the boss. >:(
Working full time will make Brandon free all its projects. :D

lol. On a side note, Critor from TI-BANK has uploaded a IPS patch for OS 2.53 made with BrandonW modified copy. I heard it appears to patch fine so if TI gets BrandonW to take his OS copy down, then we could post this in our download section too since TI can't do anything about an IPS patch that doesn't contain a single line of code from them.

Hey, I just thought of something else that could be fixed... imaginary numbers being integrated into the fraction symbol, so it doesn't give you a data type error... (Right now, its really annoying, because you can't just use >Frac with complex numbers...)

That's true, maybe I should send an email to him about that.

That's harder than you think it is. Did that exist in previous versions?
I doubt that that 'bug' can be fixed using only patching.
