Ok good to hear. And thanks, I didn't see it.

EDIT: Wait what?

Quote
- Exp>Str() bug (System error)

Does Exp refers to Y= equations? If so, then it's kinda funny how both TI and Casio had bugs with such command. On the 83+, Equ>Str had some weird bugs that could cause RAM corruption and mem clears back in OS 1.14 or below. They were also present on the 82, 82 STATS, 83 and 76.Fr.

Casio is listening to us, but TI is not really... I think these companies should listen more to developers and even have like an infiltrated guy (but we would know who he is) that asks us what we want and need.

Not exactly. Some bugs are described here (in German): http://www.casiofans.de/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=3681
Ah ok I see.

Also wow Physium add-in is over 1.5 MB large! O.O

Nuu you need admin privileges to update :|

I guess it works like the 9860 when updating?

Looks like it'll help, tho.  I've been wondering when the Locate() bug would be fixed :D

I have a laptop that runs Ubuntu (11.10) and have been trying to update the OS using WINE and it hasn't been working.  Is there anything I can do to make it work?  Otherwise, I can wait until I have access to a Windows machine to do it.
Edit: It looks like the computer is simply not recognizing the connection, it's worked before so I'll just reboot. Never mind, I will just wait until tomorrow.

I don't think that anyone has been able to update the Prizm OS using Wine. Since it most likely uses its own drivers to communicate with the calc, Wine might not support it at all.

I suspected as much.  I am still getting used to using a non-Windows OS.

It seems CASIO isn't too open about how to update their OS.... their update process is encoded inside the MSI! O_O
The update process does not extract any useful files, and the updating is done inside the MSI.

(InstallShield self-extracting EXE -> InstallShield MSI -> OS Updater inside MSI)

I've dumped the MSI's contents for those who want to try to find a solution.

Seems to me there's a new font, "Minimini Char", in the test menu that Insight can bring up.  Looks like it's the font used in Physium.

Yeah true. I just hope they continue keeping app creation by third parties possible. Eg: Obliterate still works fine. I'm sure if that calc was TI, Obliterate would have stopped working by now.

Also I'm confirming that the Locate bug was definitively fixed. Now BASIC coders got the following chars freely available for use in their games!

In OS 1.02, I believe that the OS was contained within the OSupdateDLL.dll file, and a program was written to extract it. Is this DLL file still present? I haven't been able to look at the 1.03 MSI yet.

Nope, doesn't exist at all. It all kinda exists inside the MSI, oddly enough. Maybe I'm wrong, though...

Obviously, I was right about those files being redistributables.
This is something interesting to explore... though I'm not sure if we should be pissing Casio off or not... maybe they'll give us specs? :P

(Sidenote: Seeing that other topic is the center for Casio hacking discussion, should I move the discussion to there?)

Maybe the DLL was outside of the MSI? The only thing I'm sure about is that I found it in the temp folder.

I'll try "installing" it later - this computer doesn't let me have admin privileges, which is required for installation.

EDIT: Note that I don't have a CASIO Prizm... but I can see if I can get those files out since you said that they are copied to the TEMP folder.

Activity remains limited due to busyness from school et al. Sorry! :( Feel free to PM, email, or if you know me well enough, FB me if you have a question/concern. :)

Don't expect me to be online 24/7 until summer. Contact me via FB if you feel it's urgent.

They have made a linking program for their calcs, but the Prizm doesn't use it since MSD mode is so much better.
