Does the TI-83+.FR enables Français by default on the first boot, by the way? Or do you need to manually enable it?

Also I think I remember now about the 83+SE. I wonder how stable was it...

A while ago, I made a patch to (completely) disable the Push-to-test in OS 2.43 and 2.53MP. It's complementary with the brandonw patch.

Technical banter: Brandon's patch renders _SetAppRestrictions useless, along with some Testgrd2 related stuff, if I recall correctly. My patch messes with the PTT code itself, to disable the hook kill and the group/pic reset. (bcall _PTTReset iirc).

Nice, but what is the push to test?

There's a good explanation of it in the review for the second file mapar linked.

It's something TI added to TIOS 2.40. When a key combination is held down when the calculator is off, it brings up a PTT menu that lets you disable the running of applications and programs until a file is sent to it from another calculator.

It's for teachers.

And for some reason it deletes all your groups, which is really annoying. TI could have just disabled the group menu for the same results

Just wondering, does anyone here have teachers who actually use P2T? I've never actually seen it used, except when I play around with people's calcs

I heard in the past there are a lot of teachers who use it and they forget to disable it on people calc after exams. In the case an user has no friend with a link cable or a computer at home, they're screwed and lose their entire calc RAM.

By the way, do patches simply find/replace code in the OS or do they just modify/insert code at a specific memory address? If it's the former, I assume multiple patches can be installed at once without much risks of conflicts, right?

Maybe there should be a topic listing every existing OS patches  for calculators, since most of them are not on ticalc.org.

Yeah that would be handy too.

Well the purpose of the ASM Wiki is to have everything ASM or calc hardware/system related into one place. That way, it is easier on forums to redirect people to more info when they need more as people don't have to Google for 2 hours for one simple ASM info. It can also be useful for Axe programmers.
