Cheers @chickendude, good to know. However I need this to work on TI-82 as well and iirc there is no equivalent ROM call available on that one. Ended up using my own fixed-width font which currently uses 70 bytes + 27 bytes decruncher (omitting a few chars that I don't need). Hoping to optimize it even further.

Ah, thanks Soru. Think I'll be better off making my own bitmaps then, even though I'd prefer not to waste a ton of bytes on this...

Yes, it certainly is. As far as I understand, it basically works like this: Host sends a command, telling the client to get ready to receive a packet. Client ACKnowledges, and starts listening, or sends back an error code. Host sends 128 byte package. Client acknowledges it has received it, or reports read error. Rinse and repeat.

So, assuming we can predict when the ACK command is sent, we can stream nevertheless - if there was an error, then the calc will say so (on the display) and ignore the incoming bytes. It would be far from ideal, but good enough as a fallback method I guess.

So Cloudflare effectively uses a man-in-the-middle attack to dip into the connection between client and target server, and only encrypts the first part of the route, but to the browser it will look like a valid SSL connection thanks to SNI. In reality, there is no end-to-end encryption whatsoever. It's just a smoke screen, really.

@DJ_O: The CDs were produces by some small local company. Still waiting for the large part of the batch actually (since more than 1½ months). They claimed their machine was broken, but I dunno... for the time being, I just had them send me a small batch done on waterproof Inkjet glossy CDr. They look ok-ish, but I'm not too happy with them. The jackets on the other hand look awesome. The rest of the CDs will be thermal printed, which should give a near professional look. I can tell you more once I have them (should be next week).

For now my advice is: Don't go for the big shops, look around for a good deal from a local replicator. And get thermal printed ones (Thermo-RE) in any case. They are a bit more expensive but I think it'll be worth it. Also, don't send in tracks via internet. Instead, give them your own (physical) master, using a heavy, good quality CDr.

Yo thanks DJ_O! I dunno about full length, but as I said, I definately want to do a calc music release. Got some other projects to take care of before that though, namely starting to rewrite HoustonTracker with less bugs and better UI

@fb39ca4: For my part, I'm not very good with gfx/animation, but I'd certainly be interested to team up with you on such a project. Shoot me a pm if you're interested

Thanks guys! Yeah, a calculator music album is on my definite to-do list. I hope it won't take another 4 years to complete
