This looks awesome! Side note: critor, what game is that?

The game from the 1st video is based on the Inu Yasha japanese anime from Rumiko Takahashi, who has created other mangas which might tell you something like Ranma ½, Maison Ikkoku, or Urusei Yatsura (Lamu in french).

Maybe you should try backing up everything important to you and then do a factory reset? That might solve any strange problems you have (since this doesn't seem to be happening to anybody else). Official instructions by TI on how to do this are here

This is awesome! More time going to waste with all my favorite games with me on my calc :P Guess the time has come to reinstall ndless again :D

P.S. Does anyone have an english version of the guide to safely search for overclock frequencies with nover? My french is not what it used to be :/

Basically:
* do not change the AHB frequency from the default of 66 MHz, otherwise you're likely to face data corruption;
* as some calculators fail to run in a stable manner at a CPU frequency of 222 MHz, you should not overclock past 210 MHz, probably even 200 MHz (10% margin from known instability).

I think CPU speeds don't need as much caution, because typically you get an instant reboot if it's too high. If you're at the speed level directly below instant reboot, you might occasionally get a random reboot in some programs (maybe due to certain CPU instructions being used). For example, I ran at 246MHz for 17 hours straight in gbc4nspire, but 246MHz occasionally crashes in gpSP-Nspire. 240MHz has never caused problems in any program for me.

Ok, thanks for the tips. But for now I think I'll first see how it runs without overclocking, just to be safe :)

calc84 is your danger level above 240 or is it at 220?
You just lost the game.

Some CX don't run fine above 220 MHz.
But some run fine at 252 MHz too ;)

Setting the CPU too high may just get you a freeze or a reboot.

252MHz is an instant reboot for me. 246MHz sometimes reboots. 240MHz has never rebooted.

What does gpSP do when you exit. My nspire 'freezes' for a few seconds and then becomes usable again. Is it saving or writing to files or something like that? Or am I having something weird going on. Other than that, it works great  :thumbsup:

Do you have the new version released on ticalc? The old one refreshed the documents screen upon exit (thus showing any new files created), but I removed that feature due to the exact problem you're talking about.
