Very good job.
To improve your work, I think you should add a -f option to erase an old result, cause when I used it to create a quick function and test it with de nspire-player, I made many mistakes and had to change each time the url =/

I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

Well, I was able to run OS 1.7.2741 CAS from the 1.7.2741 basic only twice in a couple dozen attempts at doing so... Most of the time, it hung with a grey screen showing alternated top-left-bottom-right and bottom-left-top-right lines 2 pixels long.

Are any errors output to the RS232 port ?

A strange thing, I have used OS launcher to run 2.0 CAS from 2.0 regular on my Nspire at least five times already, and it has been successful every time, but when I tried to the same on my brother's Nspire with the same OS/files, it failed three times before finally working...

I used the pre-build ndless b387 and the pre-built OSLauncher.... All I get is short lines on the screen. Is your Nspire a non-cas touchpad (v2) or clickpad?

Just tried 5 times to run the 2.1CAS OS from the 2.1 basic OS.
All I get is short lines on the screen too.

Broom's build of ndless is the problem. Can you compile it yourself?

Launching an OS is kinda buggy for me, it works about 5% of the time.

EDIT: The success rate is higher if you use the nspire for a few minutes after it boots. If I reset the nspire and immediately try to load an OS it rarely works. (OS2.0.1 non-CAS on an OS2.0.1 non-CAS nspire.)

So, you mean http://builds.issrs.biz/ndless/latest/ndless.zip is not a "good" build?

In a word, yes.

Every time I used it, I got the short lines on the display. Alberthro was kind enough to give me a copy of ndless that he build (r387 somehow broke my build system, I can't compile anything now, and I don't have the time to fix it.) and that worked fine. I can check the IRC logs to find the link if you want.

Lionel, you're great!!!
Well, I'm not the first person in the world to make an OS launcher for the Nspire ;)
But I was the first person to release one, indeed. The previous implementations were not released for moral reasons that I've chosen to ignore.

By the way... why isn't a compatible Ndless build available at the "official" link?

Everything like this ends up being a bit difficult to me in theory a little because of the disorginazation issues caused by OS, hardware, and model differences. I'm only going to blame TI though, since they hate us obviously.
