I did load the new OS to test it and I got a "this OS version is the same as what you have" message.
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)

We'll try and crack it.Should we send CASIO about this bug?

What are the other 16 MB used for? Most likely the OS. 11 MB seems like a realistic size for the OS if 16 MB is available for it. Of course, the OS might be a bit smaller than the PC installer... 9-10 MB, maybe?

I seriously hope the rest of the memory isn't used to store screen data... (that would explain why it's so slow)
But then what would be the remaining 10 MB for? Did they just leave 10 MB unused for future additions or something?
