TI game console?
«

I just saw this on TI-BANK:
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftibank.forumactif.com%2Factualites-f7%2Fconsole-de-jeux-ti-t5494.htm&sl=fr&tl=en
:O
EDIT: According to brandonW, it's more some alternate form of the TI-View Screen, though, just using a TV instead.
But it still seems kinda cool, providing you can afford it... and have a 84+ (for 83+SE you need viewscreen model)

BrandonW found it on Ti's site:
http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_ti_presenter.html
This is really cool and could let us stream video from our calcs (in theory)!

Yeah true
Plus no need to find a projector. On top of that I think you can record videos on something like a VHS tape or DVD (if you got a recorder). I'm not sure, though.

I just bought it. (It's the TI Presenter.)
The 84+/SE OS has built-in support for this device and directs the LCD contents to it. I'm hoping to write a driver that lets us write whatever we want to it instead, potentially working even better than the actual LCD.

Wow! Haha so its not quite a game console thingy
Heh but it serves a dual purpose! If the TI can send LCD in real time, i wonder what can be done with assembly hacking :O

I wonder if the calc runs much slower when connected to this, though...

My math teacher has the correct calc for this and the overlay for a projector. From what ive seen the slowdown is negligable if any.

The slowdown on an actual ViewScreen model is non-existent as it's just connected to the LCD controller hardware; the processor has no hand in it whatsoever.
I think he means the 84+/SE and 89Ti, which have to constantly output data to the direct USB port. As far as the answer...I don't know.
We'll find out soon enough.

WOW, even better would be to be possible making graphics on tv other than 96x64...
I saw a calculator with the odd cable next to the usb one in my school. What is it?

Does the viewscreen have a higher resolution than the regular calc? USB ones might, for 92 and 84+ cross compatibility, but I don't think the ones with the inch-long plug have a different resolution. That'd be cool, if we could have a TI-84+ with a TI-89 screen attached.
BTW for just a bigger screen stick some paper behind the viewscreen and it's nearly as bright as a regular calc screen, and much larger.
