I did get it, but unfortunately UPS didn't deliver it to me today like they were supposed to, so I'll have to wait until Monday to hook it up and tinker with it.

I did get the TI Presentation Link adapter however, and I'm having trouble communicating with it via direct USB. It's one of the more stubborn USB devices I've come across. I think that with the TI Presenter though, we'll end up with a deeper understanding of direct USB on the 84+/SE and maybe have more compatibility with more devices. There are several usb8x bugs to be fixed.

I hope you're right, that would prove very usefull! =D

Can any of these bugs affect communicating with a flash drive?  What are the bugs you've found?

It's cool that you're learning more!  This is going to be very neat!

Not just yet -- there are bugs like being able to send "large" (>128) byte control packets, which affects the Bluetooth driver. It can't be released until usb8x is updated first.

EDIT: I've found that the TI Presenter is Flash-upgradeable, through an I/O port no less. I extracted the firmware from education.ti.com -- it's only 75KB, which means we can upgrade it FROM a graphing calculator. Not only that, but I don't see anything verifying the image, with signing keys or anything. If we could determine what CPU is inside, we might actually be able to disassemble it and replace the firmware with whatever we want, all oncalc, truly making it a "gaming console."

Wow, awesome! That's really great news.  If only it wasn't so expensive. =/

It'll be at 9PM Eastern if anyone wants to see.

Win.
Will you play some games on the TV with it?

It might be best to define one spot for the discussion, though, because the Livestream chatbox requires to login and it won't let me for some reasons. #ti channel seems like a good bet since the stream will most likely be calc related, but last time it happened in #cemetech, so I'm not sure which one to choose.
