EDIT3: Now that I've managed to make this work, I'm thinking about launching the 3.0 OS. Someone at the start of the thread said there were some problems, but what were they exactly?
It doesn't load. I haven't looked beyond that to see how to make it work.

I thought Ndless 2.1 was already available? ???
OSLauncher fails to load when using brooom's build of ndless. I'm not sure why, but if it isn't intentional I'd assume it is just somehow not receiving/compiling the modified files.
Oh ok, weird, because I swear the beta of Ndless 2.0 included compiled tns'es of the OS 1.7, 2.0.1 and 2.1 versions.

I've just newsed about the ability of running a CAS OS on a basic Nspire.

That's awesome, but...

Oh crap, TI's gonna kill us x.x

I don't get what the big deal is with OSLauncher. Just press the "Reset" button on the back of the calculator, and it's all gone!

The ultimate TI war has just begun:

TI's really gonna kill us now :D

True, but that means test proctors will have to reset everyone's Nspires before a test begins.

* qazz42 gets out a narrow-mind shield

quite frankly, I think that now TI has decided to play dirty, now we are doing the same. they slander us, we slander their standard test credibility :D

plus, it is not like we are doing anything illegal or anything >.>

That was a good read critor. I'll probably follow that just to see how thick-headed people can be.

We can't just have people resetting our calcs that would be very problematic. The one thing I like about the Nspire PTT mode is that it leaves you documents intact. On other calcs teachers just run RAM clears before letting you use them.

Since the 2.0.0 OS, the reset button does only trigger a reboot and doesn't remove any of your files in ROM any more.

It's understandable. Without this button, some people would have had to remove a battery and the rechargeable battery in order to trigger a reboot, which would have required a screwdriver.


When you press the PTT combo, the calculator does reboot. So using the PTT combo on a basic Nspire with an OSLaunched CAS OS reboots in PTT mode with the installed basic OS. You won't be able to use CAS any more, and you won't be able to OSlaunch again before exiting the PTT mode.

Well, so far, on the tinspire group, the people have actually been pretty courteous - more so than in previous occurrences ;)

Strange... Are you sure Nelson is ok?

Is there an english version of the how to put a CAS on a nonCAS with OSLauncher? If not could someone sum up how to do it. I would like to have some of those math functions

Not that I know of, but maybe someone is making it and will announce it only when the work is completed.

People interested in working on translating the howto can ask critor for the original (editable) file.
