Hi all, I've just finished my College Entrance Exam! Here is the recent news on cnCalc, the Chinese community.
And I suggest Bing translation for English readers. It's far better than Google.


Hikari.uiharu (Also Anderain Lovelace) released KuroScripter, an ONS-like text adventure engine. And the first game ported is the legendary... (#NSFW)じょそうさんみゃく!

Chinese font is added and gray-scale display is also accomplished, all by 诗诺比. (http://www.cncalc.org/thread-10362-1-1.html and http://www.cncalc.org/thread-10352-1-1.html)

A small modification version of the ArithMax PCB is made by 怺逺_海子. A serial port output is added on the top. (http://www.cncalc.org/thread-10450-1-1.html)

Nbzwt made this advertising video, which shows how he assembled the ArithMax:

He also wrote the guide of building the development environment:

A surveyor uploaded several photos of his CASIO FD-10 Pro. (Quite professional)

ArithMaxOS is a complete new OS for a calculator which is not from TI nor from Casio but community built, even though it's based on a Casio case, from what I can tell from TI Planet newses I read about it.

Oooh I see. I think I might have read about it somewhere. I wonder if that calc can be bought outside China? I remember the HP community did something similar with the WP34 or something, based on an HP model.

I don't think it can be bought anywhere, it's just a project for the fun/challenge

The ArithMax Entry is in alpha test phrase. We want to put it into mass production, but there still are problems to solve...
There are several reports on TI-Planet(in French of course).

BTW, the similar project of the hp community is the 43S, a fully new-design calculator. The 34S is based on HP-20B/30B.
