Maybe this is caused by COPPA (or a similar law)? It's the most common source of 13-year age limits online.

If somebody links me to some assembly info for the Prizm, I would not mind attempting to write an emulator. I wrote an emulator for a made up system on my TI-84+ a while back, and in assembly, the only difficult things would be hardware emulation, including the keymap, LCD, timers, and linkport. I do have enough knowledge of the z80, I believe, to write an emulator.
Here's the SH3 instruction set: http://documentation.renesas.com/doc/products/mpumcu/rej09b0317_sh_3sm.pdf

I'm thinking space-wise it'd be kinda redundant to have a full emulator, unless it was an optional version or add-on. Not that it wouldn't be accurate enough, but it'd be kinda pointless to have a full emulator, besides perhaps, novelty.
When you create an emulator that can run Asm programs for the 8x calcs, you're always going to get the ability to emulate the entire OS as well. Many programs even require that the OS is present.

Does this block custom add-ins? I haven't read any reports about that yet, but I haven't been able to visit Cemetech much (which has a similar topic) to investigate more.
I found this surprising to see an update shortly after the end of the Cemetech contest and the recent e-mails informing community users that no SDK would be done, so I got scared they went the same direction as TI and purposely block 3rd-party softwares, but if they did not bother doing so, then it's good news.
The posts I've seen have all said that add-ins seem to work just like before.

I have another idea:
Instead of cracking the image checksum and changing the type ID (which is hopefully not required for decompression, because this would mean complete repackaging using zlib), couldn't we just modify the image converter to write the ID 0x3C1B instead of 0x789C before the checksum calculation takes place? Worth a try...
Holy crap, the image converter does not seem to be protected. 
That might work, but this method is likely to be troublesome because of legal issues. Casio's converter is tricky to get, and I'm not sure if patching it is allowed.

61 KB is for user data, similar to the 24 KB available on the 83+/84+. BASIC has to work within this limit, but not native code.

I found a few things that maybe should be changed. - In the comparison table, the speeds should be switched. The Prizm is the one that runs at 58MHz by default.
- "The speed on the CX appears to be faster than the PRIZM but I have read that for some things the PRIZM can be faster." is pretty ambiguous. Is it about math, interpreted languages, compiled languages, or a mix of them?
- nSpire and nDless should be spelled Nspire and Ndless, and PRIZM should probably be Prizm. (Though I'm just nitpicking now
 )

Probably to avoid spam.

There has been a pretty large increase in spam on the Prizm wiki too. I've been trying to remove most of it, but we would probably need to stop it somehow.

Won't that completely nullify the point of them making the CG-10?
Yes. So this will allow us to change the Prizm Startup screen and system screens?
That sounds really cool, we could completely change what it says, or 'rearrange' pixels for efficiency.
No. What this will allow us to do is to create our own images to use as backgrounds for graphs and other math purposes that already support the images that are supplied by Casio. EDIT: Ninja'd by more that an hour. I should use F5 more.

It definitely isn't finished, and Megaupload is just one of the causalities as a result
Megaupload actually had nothing to do with SOPA. It was taken down using the methods that currently exist.

We're starting to get even more spambots. Is there anything we can do about this?

Also I sent him a question of my own a few days back, about the ability to install the emulator on a flash drive:
Hi, a question about the emulator, the license of which is offered in this promotion. Can it be installed on a flash drive or similar, so you can bring it with you?
If not, is this planned for the future? Hi <snip>,
That's a fascinating question. Let me respond with a question of my own, since I don't often install software on flash drives: wouldn't something like that require zero copy protection? The ability to do something like that would clearly be useful, but if it short-circuited our ability to market our product then it would amount to shooting ourselves in the foot.
Standard copy protection as I understand it would either require a registry entry (which would require installation on a machine, not a flash drive) OR would require a disc in the drive (which would make a flash drive installation pointless, I believe). Am I missing other options?
I hope these questions make sense and I really am interested in your response.
Kind Regards,
Nathan Aside from how amazing it is to get a response from an actual person rather than an auto-responder hooked up to Cleverbot or something (insert :TI: smiley again )..any ideas? The only sort of thing I can come up with is some sort of ID that you register somewhere, kind of like the calc's serial number. Perhaps part of the validation process would involve checking some db for the same ID? But then that might require internet access...
I'm not too familiar with this sort of stuff 
Well... There aren't really any effective methods of copy protection for files that can be put on flash drives freely. In fact, the removal of copy protection (and the installer) is exactly what makes it possible to put it on flash drives. Less DRM = more convenience for the user.

Casio has getKey just like TI-BASIC. However, I don't think there's no cursor stuff in CASIO.
For input, are you talking about Input in TI-BASIC? For CASIO, all you need is, ?→Stuff
When Input is used on z80 calcs without an argument, it displays a cursor on the graph screen that the user can use to select coordinates. This is very different from using it with an argument.

The only one up is 2.57 right?
No. The one that's visible on TI's site is 2.55MP, which is the newest one. 2.43 (and maybe others too) are available through direct links.
