The processor starts failing to read correctly from RAM. I'd assume that means you're going to crash something.
Ok, but I am more curious at which speed the calc can continue functioning correctly.

According to the documentation, that would be 178 MHz.

Ah ok, that's good I guess. I hope the processor won't make the rest of the circuits too hot at such heat and cause soldering to break, though. Another worry is batteries: it would suck if the calc lasted 20 minutes max in 178 MHz mode :P

very true. after all, if you have a game like Jump! on your calculator on that speed, you'd likely need to carry around a bag full of batteries(not that most of us don't carry around extras anyway)

EDIT: also, another worry is the LCD. that could break if you push it too hard.

You don't carry an extra bag of batteries with you!?  O.O                   
but yes you would have to watch out with the LCD. On the 83+ there was a minimun amount of time you would have to wait before redrawing to the screen.

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)

Well, I'm sure there won't be too many calculator casualties. But the screen is Casio's Blanview LCD, if anyone can find any specs on it.

of course not, but a few(a set) stay in my backpack at all times.

I only ever brought an extra set batteries with me once, because I knew the ones in my calc were gonna die soon.

I once was coding in school and my batteries died. I was so desperate I bought the ones from my friend's 84 for $10.

I hope you lost nothing, though. O.O

I remember during my 2002-03 coding craze (when I coded 10 hours a day, even on school days) my batteries died once and I had no money to buy new ones. I was bored to death for 2 days X.x

I thank the man who invented rechargeable batteries.  I have 8, so I always have a set to switch out when I'm at home.

Yeah, if I had more money back then, I would have bought plenty of sets of them.

in a recent PDF for teachers, Casio has pushed back the release date for the Casio Prizm in France even further...

The prizm will be available for back-to-school 2011 (late june 2011 in the best case, september 2011 in the worst case...)


See news in french:
http://casio.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=15


I'm very disappointed... :(

You guys will have hacked everything before I can get one...


Guess I'm going back to hacking TI-Nspire calculators...

This sucks. I hope this won't end up into something like Duke Nukem Forever and Starcraft Ghost. It's the 2nd time that they push back the release date x.x.

Don't feel too bad, though: To get something shipped from USA in Canada, it takes about one month sometimes. I ordered my Casio Prizm from Ebay in mid-December from an american store and it still hasn't arrived yet. It apparently shipped on December 22nd.
