Title: Ti-83+ Collector Edition Leaked
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 24, 2005, 08:22:00 am

In the past week there have been 35967 page views on the forums so I checked with Invisionfree administrators to see why there was so much traffic lately (normally Omnimaga get an average of 2000 page view per week) and it seems that most IP addresses were from the same place, which was apparently none other than Texas Instruments headquarter. So I e-mailed TI to ask why there have been so much page requests from them and they replied back saying the website was very cool and well done and deserved a prize for the most innovative TI website of the year. Then I continued reading and when I saw the calculator picture included in TI e-mail I went like "what the hell?". It seems that the actual Omnimaga prize is none other than a special collector edition of the TI-83 Plus with the Omnimaga logo on it:

This is actually the exact same thing than the original TI-83+, except that it runs at 15 MHz, like the Silver Edition, it has 480 KB of RAM like the TI-84+ and the preinstalled APPs are Omnicalc and ReubenPck. I was like " O_O " when I saw ReubenPck. In fact they seems to have compressed both Reuben Quest games together in a flash APP so they are smaller (96 KB together). Unfortunately ReubenPck cannot be sent to any other calc and this is the only TI-83+ Omnimaga Collector Edition which will be avaliable.

Haha, I could see the funny clipping of the title.  :P  That'd be cool, though.  I'd buy one.  (Better than my 83+...)

Yeah in fact I though of that and it would be cool if Enders game would be converted to it, but games like Reuben Quest would be impossible to port to BASIC builder for the following reasons:

1) BASIC Builder doesnt know if a program need to be archived or not when starting the app, so it puts them in the RAM. Most reuben files goes in the archive
2) We cannot use more than 26 picvtures, however Reuben has over 30
3) the code needs to be modded a bit (pictures) to be compatible, which would be very long and buggy due to the fact most pics are run from ASM utilities and the game is very huge. :(
