Re: TI's response to lack of nspire-basic programming

ok so I just got the latest word in from ti.. basically they will forward it to the dev team. here's the whole line of conversation:
edit: haha that guys good.. 'i have no idea'.
Wow, I hate to say it, but I told ya. Sorry about it, though.  Maybe one day.
The cake is a lie! The farthest you'll get is a supervisor, an e-mail supposedly sent to the dev team. Which may or may not get back to you. Good luck, though.

Yeah, the usual I guess. I am surprised we could get this much "info", though, so far.

EDIT: Thread merged with another I just found at the bottom of this page. Darn, there were 4 topics about this at least x.x

In regards to USB protocol on the TI-84+ (SE):

Drew,

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, there is no further documentation available than this.

I hope that you find this information helpful. If you have further questions or comments, please feel free to send me an email.

Warmest Regards,

César López

Hi César,
I have heard rumors that there is a document managed by the z80 developer team at TI that documents this.  Could you get with them on this issue and see what they know about it?  It seems a bit lax to me to leave out these important specs.
 
Regards,
Drew "Sir Cmpwn" DeVault

After reading these responses from TI, my first thought is TI is being very dismissive.

one guy claimed that he knew nothing about missing RAM pages x.x

He said all TI-84+SE's had the same RAM

I remember that, he just said all of them have 24 kb. It's kinda sad TI-82s have 4 more kb of ram over the 83/84+

The TI-83 has more available RAM than the TI-83+/84+ too.

The TI-83+/84+ are the worst from that perspective, with the TI-80 & TI-81.....

And if you use OS 2.53MP/2.54MP, the available TI-84+ RAM size is decreased even more.........

Yeah I remember reading this on United-TI last year.

Yes!


With all TI-83+ OSes and TI-84+ OSes 0.46 to 2.48, you've got the same number of free bytes in RAM (24285).

With OSes 2.53MP/2.54MP, you've got a little less (23720).


You may say it's not a big loss.
But the problem is the available RAM on TI-83+/84+ was allready not a big thing in itself...

I remember trying to play a game that was 23,981 kb on my nspre, and it turns out archived programs still eat up a few kb of ram, so I had to delete all those, and then I ended up playing a game that wasnt so great anyways.

Yeah, I think the TI-84 Plus faceplate keeps that as the limit.

which game was it? I remember Gemini and Castlevania were quite large, but they weren't too bad. The former was a FPS and the later something very close to the NES Castlevania. They got featured on ticalc.org.

Ohhh! Someone remembers castlevania? That's a first I have seen on Omnimaga ;)

I really have to say, the Super Mario levels took a lot of RAM, even when archive. :(

I am very sure there were references to it when this board started. In fact, I think there was a reference to it in the news on the old board.
