*1: To get around that, you can click one of the page numbers at the bottom and if, for example, you see 1-2-3...98-99-100, clicking the ... will expand the page list.

Yeah, but I don't want a page list, I want more posts on the same page

Also, in the last post column, there's a small icon leading to the latest post.

Yeah, I already saw that (and said it in my post) but clicking that small icon is less convenient than clicking the title. It works though, so no problem, it's just a matter of habit

*2: I think 20 depends of your forum settings, because I have it set to 50 in my account settings. Also, for me there are 296 pages of topics (going all the way back to 2005), so in fact the New posts list now lists about 15000 topics (or more if you're admin)

Indeed, I just went through my settings and saw an option "Topics per page"
I set it to 50 (the maximum), it is a lot better now, thanks

However, I noticed sometimes that even with enough archive, files might still fail to send to the calc. The trick then is to wipe everything out, then send each file in order of the largest to the smallest.

This usually happens when you already used your calc for a long time (and had a lot of objects in it, deleted a lot of them, and caetera, getting a lot of non contiguous space used), but not on a new bought calc.

Just bought a used TI-84 Plus Silver Edition today. . . . The calculator is now showing:
ARC FREE: 561062

Are you sure it's a TI-84 Plus SE and not a TI-84 Plus, non-SE? If you are, use the Reset All Memory option. It's not the same as resetting RAM and archive separately.

You could totally port this to the color if you think up a good screen updating algorithm. Even at 320x240, each frame probably only needs a few hundred pixels updated.

A non SE has 480 Ko IIRC, so 561062 o is not possible.

I just suspect there are a lot of useless apps installed by default on the calculator (like CellSheet in every language) so a lot of wasted space. Just remove useless apps and you'll probably be able to transfer what you want

Example:

Code: [Select]

Before: EXP▶Hex     Converts the number to hexadecimal and returns the pointer to that string.

Code: [Select]

After: EXP▶[HEX] -> PTR  Converts the expression to hexadecimal and if a pointer is declared it will be available at named pointer.The red is not needed, but if you want the pointer to go somewhere you should provide this information.

I don't agree that this should be written, or at least not by default, because maybe you don't want to store that pointer, maybe you just want to use it once and you'll just write for example Text(0,,18▶Hex), so your "→Ptr" appears nowhere.
However, something that could be done (but probably annoying to do) is a button next to each command that expands a box showing examples about how to use that command or more information or whatever. But I still think that the current presentation is fine, with only one concise line about what it takes and what it returns showed by default, hence why I'd say there should be that button (a bit like with spoilers on forums in fact).

most of the tutorials never even say that you have to use hexadecimal notation for your tilemap declaration pointer.

You don't have to. You can put any part of your data between brackets, in a Data() command or between quotes (a bit harder to use, you need to know the correspondence). Usually, quotes are used for text data because it is a bit more convenient to write/read for the user writing/reading the source code. And hex is used for sprites because it doesn't take much space in the code. But you don't have to, you can declare your sprite like this if you want:

[]→°SquareSprite
Data(π 11111111 )
Data(π 10000001 )
Data(π 10000001 )
Data(π 10000001 )
Data(π 10000001 )
Data(π 10000001 )
Data(π 10000001 )
Data(π 11111111 )

This is much more convenient to read (everybody can see that this is the sprite of a square), but it is a bit annoying to scroll through (even though not annoying at all with zStart's jump to label feature).

My point is that there are always an infinite number of ways to achieve one thing, so the documentation would have to cover all those ways to be complete, which is impossible. Hence why it is "incomplete".

The tutorial is available in English if you have it set as your site language (upper right corner).

It was not at the time I posted, but it got translated in the meantime (see, I said "It is only available in French for now but I am sure they'll translate it soon", and here, it is translated).

Yes. This tutorial explains you how to do so. It is only available in French for now but I am sure they'll translate it soon.
However, removing the downgrade protection is not everything. If you have an "old" model, then it's ok, you can do whatever you want (you see what I mean). But if you have a newer hardware revision, then you'll be able to install the OS 3.1 after removing the downgrade protection, but with some displaying problems.

Actually, the PRGM menu is much faster since OS 1.14 came out. Beforehand, with 200 programs it took about 4 seconds to scroll down one program in the list. Even 50 programs was still pretty slow (about .5 seconds per scrolling iteration). So in other words, we got our Fast Program Menu in 2002. (I agree that something faster would be better, though)

i just use alpha to skip to the program i want to edit or open

I use ON+7 to edit my current project (have to set that shortcut everytime my main project changes, but it takes like 10 seconds).
