Prizm OS 1.02 available for download
« on: February 01, 2011, 01:41:15 am »
Casio has released version 1.02 of the Prizm OS on their website, along with trial software for the Prizm. According to Casio it adds "new 10 eActivities!!".

However, it appears that this OS is a different version of the 01.02.0200 OS that was pre-loaded on certain calculators, because these calculators did not have the Locate command glitch with non-ASCII characters, but this copy of OS 01.02.0200 re-introduces it, so do NOT update if you already have 01.02.0200 installed!!!

https://edu.casio.com/download_service/download/category.php

The update is only compatible with the fx-CG10. Nothing is known about when the fx-CG20 will be updated. The update file is a zipped exe (about 11 MB).

Casio did a great job hiding the OS update behind the installer. It's quite clever, actually. I expect it'll take me an extra hour or so to circumnavigate it.

11 megabyte installer ??? The OS update it self is probaly no more than a few dozen kilobytes. I hope the installer doesn't use something like rsa keys and extra checksums to update the OS. Also I hope the OS isn't encryted inside the installer. Why can't Casio be like TI and send in a .8xu format. Or to follow the format of other Prizm files .g3x format (if that existed)  :P

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

Woah it was about time! It was already available on some calcs for a month, yet they wait a month before releasing that stuff. Oh well, at least I'M glad it's out. I'm gonna upgrade.

Yeah it was the same when I upgraded my FX-9860G to OS 2.0 (which pretty much turns the calc into a FX-9860GII without a backlight).

Indeed. Of course I am certain there are still many, knowing them, but at least the fact they fix them is a start. On the 83+ we have been stuck with ERR:VERSION for 12 years. :/

Well well well.  :thumbsup: to Casio (sorta). I wanted to see if there was a difference between 1.01 and 1.02 in the way of speed and yes there was. The program I ran was a for loop from 0 to 1000 and used the locate command to output A.
In OS 1.01 the times I got were:
42.61
42.60
42.60
Now in OS 1.02 I got:
42.33
42.27
42.26

So I speed increase. Yes. A big one. No. But it might help speed up a few basic programs a little bit.

That's good, however I got some pretty bad news: Casio did not fix the Locate glitch :( :( :(

Try running the following code:

For 1->A to 7
For 1->B to 21
Locate B,A,"€"
Next
Next

The bug still happens: the last columns of text remains missing until you hit AC/ON to break execution. :(

So I guess finally this OS adds little changes and no bug fixes. :(

@DJ I tried your program, but I did not get any glitches. Did you mean to close the quotes because if I leave them open I get a syntax error after the calc draws the second character

DAMNIT! Then it means my calc is defective and was since the very start :'(

I'Ll have to wait until they get in store and get another one...

You're sure you typed a character like the Euro symbol, @, theta, omega, etc? And yes I closed the quotes. Could you attach a copy of your program? I want to see what you did to not get the glitch.

EDIT: Are you sure you did what I said? I just tried my program in the emulator and still had the glitch happening. Here's a screenshot to prove it (first with a regular character, where the glitch won't occur, then I change it to a non-ASCII char, and it happens):

I had the program typed exactly the way you had it with the euro character. Try asking qwerty and FinaleTI if they have the same glitch you have. Also I have ran some weird apps (including one that almost bricked my calc) on my Prizm before. I wonder if that could in any way affect the glitches.

Edit: Did the original version of your code read For 1->B to 2. Because that is what a typed in the first time. I tried it with 21 now and I got the glitch where the calc draws the first half of the screen then updates the second half

Check the post above. I added a screenshot. The glitch occurs on the emulator too. Possible scenarios:

1) Casio released the wrong version of the OS and misnamed 01.01.0200 as 01.02.0200
2) Casio released two different versions of OS 01.02.0200 and calcs that came preloaded with it got a version without the glitch (your calc being an example)
3) The apps you ran magically fixed the glitch
4) Your calc is special and the glitch doesn't occur on them.

If the latter is the case, then a crapload of people will get ripped!

Yeah, it happened with my Prizm too (although it didn't before)  :(

Of course, I've messed with my Prizm probably as much as you have, z80.

Did you have 1.02 preloaded on it?

@Z80man No I had 21. It was just a typo in my post above.

Yeah. Originally the calc was immune to it, but now it displays the glitch.
