Nice do you know each others in real life? I haven't met many people from the TI community yet, only 2 so far, even if I was around for 10 years.

By the way I heard the TI-Nspire CX will not be sold in France. Only the CAS CX will.

Do they do this for the normal Nspire too? If they do, the 84+ emu will become completely unavailable...

I think it'd hurt their sales to decrease programming capabilities...I know a lot of people who bought the 84SE instead of the NSpire just because of all the programs (and, as DJ_O said, not just games!) even when they knew that the NSpire had an 84SE emulator built in.

Another factor is probably that the emulator is not 100% backwards-compatible, and it's actually often slower than the 84+.

I can't recommend one, but I can't criticize it either aside from how disorganized all the releases and different versions of ndless feel to me since I'm trying C.

Do those ndless versions break compatibility, then? That seems a bit unlikely to me...

I can't even tell entirely, the native C Tetris crashes on exit on 2.0-OS1.7 and crashes on selection in 1.7-OS1.7, and NESpire + gbc4nspire crash at random under 2.0-OS1.7, though after 1 crash, gbc4nspire worked from then on, and I never re-tested NES.

I don't think I'm worth listening to on that.

Of course you are. everyone is worth listening, even you, and bug reports are always useful, so I'd say DO POST that bug report

I agree with aeTIos. As long as people won't post things like "F1N15H NDL355 N0W 0R Y0UR 4 L42Y 8UM WH0 F41L2!!!1!1!1oneoneone1one" it should be fine.

If you ever find an unreported bug it is always good to report it. It helps the developers a lot because it helps them solve the problems and make there software better

It might just be the program's fault though.
