"by the way, some times random squares of color appear on the screen until you click something.  but otherwise, the screen's quite nice.  ;)"

By random squares do you mean pixel size or something larger? :w00t:

Is it just the screen glitching out? O.O

I will laugh so hard if it turns out TI didn't properly set the cache settings for the screen buffer area

I will laugh so hard if calc84maniac then takes ten minutes to fix the problem, but is unable to implement it because TI refuses to release the signing keys.

A way to test this would be to try to take a screenshot of the random squares using TI Computer Link (I think it just sends the contents of video memory, since I've been able to get screenshots of stuff left over from Ndless programs). If it's a cache issue, the glitches wouldn't appear in the screenshot.

Note: From what I remember, the CX doesn't support MSD mode, meaning you still need to get through the hassle of using a connectivity software to transfer files between your calculator and the computer and forums are still gonna get flooded with "Calc not detected by computer" help threads. The Prizm supports mass storage device mode.
To be honest, I've been having some trounble with making my computer detect my Prizm... But it's still much easier to use that the route TI chose.
And if you attempt to use a CAS-only function, there's an ad for the Nspire CX CAS.  :P
Is it "Have you seen the Nspire CX CAS"-style? :P

What OS are you running on your computer. IT seems rather unlikely to have MSD issues, but at least it's better then TI Connect :P

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)

I'm using Windows XP. I tried connecting it to my TV too (yes, it has USB :P) and it didn't work, but I eventually managed to make it work with Windows. It's still not working every time I do it, though.

Hmm...  actually, it might be a cache issue, because as soon as you click something it disappears.  (Refreshing the screen)  and when it appears its always a block from the previous screen after switching screens.

as for the ad is like "Function not supported, try the Nspire CX CAS"

I'm pretty sure that Nspire CAS thing has been there since OS 1.1

Ah ok weird. Hopefully it doesn't get worse with the time as the Prizm gets more popular. But again I had the same thing happen with certain USB flash drives before.

And Yunhua98 you really oughta make a screenshot or video showing it. I can't really understand from the description, because I am more visual.  But in other words, it's some sort of screen display glitch, right?

I was using the USB cable I got from TI earlier. I've switched to using the Casio cable now, and it works every time ;D

Oh silly TI. You even make your usb cables buggy. It just wouldn't be TI if there were no bugs.

btw Has anyone else gotten a bug on their Prizm in which everything will freeze for a couple of seconds then return to normal. it doesn't seem as if the calc is frozen, but as if the keyboard input is.

Nope, not yet. I got that on my TI-Nspire, though, and everything was frozen. It happened when running a BASIC loop. The keypad responded slowly
