I wish TI didn't do this, it pretty much killed hopes for TI-Boy SE. I am sure Calc84 would have developed it much further if newer calcs didn't have this issue. What also sucks is how not only TI-Boy SE has issues with the new calcs x.x

I hope Calc84maniac 84+ emulator for the Nspire can run all undocumented instructions and the extra RAM so we can use Omnicalc virtual calc/mem and other stuff like that, altough for running GB games on the Nspire it will be more practical for people to just download gbc4nspire :P

lol
Better use gbc4nspire. But until some sound apps comes to Nspire, it would be cool to hear RealSound in the emulated TI-84+SE, anyway. :P
(oh no, an idea to calcmaniac... ._.)

I think they have yet to figure out how to play sound through the link port on the Nspire, though, if it's even possible at all.

I'm pretty sure the link ports don't work yet on the calc84's emulator, so sound's not possible.  Yet...  ;)

That said, I am curious if when switching the keypad it will be possible to have sound in the future ^^

I am not sure if this is a false alarm or not, but...

Michael.3545 has reported that Omnicalc's RAM Recovery doesn't work on his TI-84 Plus regular edition.

His serial number ends with K-0507F.

One of the mysterious K factory calc, but the ending letter matches the letter of calcs that reported 128 KB of RAM (A through G or no letter). On UTI, the "K-0906B" calc passed the test (meaning it had 128), while the "K-0308J" one failed it (meaning it had 48).

Michael.3545 should test his calc to see if he is missing RAM. If he does, then his calc will have broken the trend where all calcs ending with either no letter or a letter from A to G has 96 KB of additional RAM while H or higher only has 16.

Well, again, it's the K factory :P
DJ: I'm writing a program to test if one has the full 128 KB or the lesser 48 KB of total RAM right now, and will upload it upon completion

Didn't someone else made one, tho? Again, Idk where is it on UTI and if it's still around anymore.

I'll also rename this thread and move it out of the TI-Boy SE sub-forum, since it isn't only TI-Boy related anymore.

I made another one :P
It's designed to be run from the homescreen with Asm(
If you have XRAM, the program will return, saying nothing.
If you don't, it'll say FAILED, and then return.

XRAM as extra RAM, right? (well, the entire extra RAM, since technically every 15 MHz calcs has some sort of extra RAM)

Right, by XRAM I mean the extra 96KB of RAM that the older 84's and the 83+SE had. No XRAM means only 16KB extra, in this case.

There are teacher calcs?

What's the difference between teacher calculators and normal calcs?
