Haha! I have a clickpad, yay!

So, do I, can I use ndless with a clickpad in TI NSpire (non-CAS)?
That depends- do you know how to get a copy of os 1.1?

Here is a clearer state on Touchpad compatibility:

Ndless 1.7 as it is cannot be compatible with OS 2.x because of the use of the "hot reboot". The hot reboot restarts the OS at installation time to get back to a stable state. The hot reboot is currently also responsible of quite many stability issues on OS 1.7.

I have been working on modifications that get rid of the hot reboot. It works quite well on nspire_emu (with a random crash for some installations, which hopefully could be fixed), but crashes on real hardware.
As long as the hot reboot cannot be replaced, Ndless won't be compatible with OS 2.x, and Touchpad won't be supported. I'll soon post these modifications which work on emulator, hopefully someone will be able to have an idea on what's going wrong.
Thanks for the update, ExtendeD

Yeah, working in PC Emulator ain't that good, but helps someone have an idea ;)

OS 1.1 can't be installed, I have it you can't.

I can't send it to you cos it is ilegal.
Go to the chat and query someone to send it.

There is one website on the web that e-mails it to you, can't link since it's ilegal.

Good Luck, even with OS 1.1 file you can't. When you try to install it it prints out an error :S

Holy double-posting batman!!!

As for OS 1.1 it can be installed if you own a clickpad keyboard and a non-CAS calculator.

I hope the Hot reboot thing can be worked around or a solution be found. Good luck to Ndless developers!
