Wow.  They are actually going to let us program in Lua?  :D  
EDIT: They are probably keeping this as an undocumented feature to shut us up, aren't they. :\
My thoughts exactly. :devil:

Also, I said I would not fall for any more April Fools day jokes anymore.  It didn't help that the OS Launcher was also joke. :\
:-\ OSLauncher is legit, just difficult to use (dosen't work at all on my non-cas nspire touchpad) and not useful for most.

Oh.  In the news, it said that the OSLauncher video was a joke.  I do not know.  I'm not the one who recorded the video.

The video was a joke (made in Blender; look closely), but not the actual program ;)

I find it easier to quote the whole post, remove the quote tags, and then re-tag and respond to parts of the post. ;)

I'm pretty sure it was an animation running on a real calculator ;D

Yeah it was a fake video to make us think it's a joke since it's on April 1st, or to tease us, and finally the real program arrives a few weeks later.

Also Maybe it's not in TI's intentions to let us program in Lua. Maybe they won't care if we do, but I have doubts that they intentionally allowed us to program it.

It was a joke, sure am I, because, I made the video :


@DJ_O : think, with OSLauncher, we can run not too far different OSes, or exaclty the same ... version ! (do you follow me ?)

I think TI made a Lua SDK for themselves and never bothered to take it out. I wonder if it would be possible to make an on-calc Lua editor.

Does OSLauncher work on OS2? Trying to load the DummyOS just locks up the calc.
I haven't tested OSLauncher with anything else than OS 1.7.2741. But I can't see a good reason for it not working on other OS versions - unless the syscalls addresses are wrong ?
Are you using Ndless binaries built from SVN r387, as mentioned in the sources ?

Actually, at the time the video was made, the actual program was a joke. OSLauncher didn't exist on April 1st :)

It was a Screen compositing made with the editor, by Critor.

On April 1st, TI-BANK posted a video showing what was supposed to be OSLauncher, the equivalent of Boot2Launcher and DiagsLauncher, but for TI-Nspire OSes. The video was an April Fools joke, but with the release of DiagsLauncher and Boot2Launcher not long before, it was inevitable that OSLauncher would eventually become a reality. Today it did and it has been released in TI-BANK archives! This extra file is required to use it.

OSLauncher can be useful, for example, if you absolutely need a more recent OS to run tns files that are only compatible with it or to use more functionalities, but that you still need the ability to run Ndless, which requires an older OS, or want to run a modified OS. Basically you can have multiple OSes on your calculator at once! Note, however, that not every OS combination will work, such as an OS 3.0 image on OS 2.x, according to mikehill2003.

Still related to TI-Nspire stuff, there is now a Lua to TNS converter as well! You need 7za (7-Zip) to use it.

UPDATE: A Python version is now available too and the shell version is updated non-stop!
UPDATE 2 (21:42): Jkag has just released another version with a GUI for those who can't run .sh or python files!
UPDATE 3 (04/15/11): Jkag has made a Linux version of his version of his  converter.

In other news, TI-BANK reports that Texas Instruments has put online a TNS player. It opens both TI-BASIC and Lua documents, but it is not supported by all browsers, might be very slow and doesn't appear to support all controls yet (arrows doesn't work in Goplat's 15 Puzzle clone, for example).

A lot of news with the CX. I'm testing the TI NSpire Player now, thanks for reporting the situation DJ.

Due to some kind of a DoS attack on that file (thousands of hits since yesterday), OSlauncher has been temporarily removed from TI-Bank.

We are sorry for any inconvenience, but will keep you informed.

Fortunately, I have already downloaded it and got a working CAS on my non-CAS calc now :)
