Oh.
Hmm, funny thing: Krolypto crashed my RAM the first time I tried it, but it worked fine afterwords...
Question: What does calcsys even do, and what can I do with it?

Also, you use both DCS and mirage?
Oh yeah, good point. I think I kept mirage because I could secure my memory screen. This was before my urge to install a bunch of apps today.

Mkay, I decided that I wanted to upgrade the functionality of my calc, so I added a bunch of apps.
Because some of these apps mess with the calculator, I want to make sure that I'm not accidentally about to kill my calc or conflict with each other.
I have a TI-84+SE with OS 2.53
and the apps I'm worried about are
Calcsys
CtlgHelp
DoorsCS7 (the latest one)
Graph3
Krolypto
MirageOS
Omnicalc
Symbolic
Unit Ops
zStart
Erm... these aren't going to kill my calc, are they, or ruin compatibility? That would suck pretty badly.
That being said, any other interesting apps/programs I should have on my calc?

So basically, I have to convert my input to base 16, then use an algorithm similar to multiplying/dividing by hand in order to manipulate my numbers?
Hmm, working with base 16 might be a bit painful...

Hello: I'm working on a project that involves manipulating numbers larger then 65535, and Axe obviously doesn't have built-in support for that.
However, I do know that programs like Cabamap can push around absurdly large numbers - how can I manually do that in Axe?
For example, how could I write a routine that could handle something like 365940/367153?
Is it possible to set up some free ram in such a way that I could use (for example) four bytes to get numbers up to 256^4-1 (4294967295)?

Yeah, I know. It'd just be cool to jack in the calc, and 'pretend' that the calculator has taken over the computer.

There isn't a VAT, that's a TIOS thing. The entire filesystem is stored in ROM. And RAM is cleared everytime you turn on the calculator. Booting Linux from a flash drive would be absurdly awesome. How big is DSL?
50MB, I believe.
I've seen versions that get to around 10 MB.
Unfortunately, that's still about 5x to big.
Maybe if a Linux distro was written specially for TI 83+/84+'s instead of being ported....
Maybe just keep the very bare minimum in graphics, and store all programs on a USB and run it from there? So if I wanted to use the internet, I'd have to have a copy of firefox on another flash drive and run it from there?

29. Add support for bluescale, and use it extensively for graphics.

Crap. Buy 25 calcs? Use nspire?

5] It is similar. I've attached the character set.
Erm, I'm not seeing it. B] As a flash drive, yes. If I'm successful with my tests.
C] Same as a flash drive. It will be absurdly easy, no special software required.
Oh, so is there a particular reason why TI-Connect is so slow? Is it because it was inefficiently coded, or for some other reason? Wonder what would happen if I tried to install a tiny version of Linux in my calc. "Hey, look, everybody. I'm running Linux off of my calculator!" (*Non-nerd friends facepalm, nerd friends express enthusiasm, teachers start banning me from school computers for 'hacking'.) Hmm. Convert and install a password hacking program too? (Usually, they go on CDs) Just to demonstrate how a calc can pwn a computer? KnightOS is going to be so awesome.

I like the important post idea. It'd be cool if the topic starter could chose (but only if they wanted to) an 'Important Post', which by default, gets shown at the top of the page or something.

Let's see, given the size of the average powerpoint... Yeah, we would need some mega compression. Also, come to think of it, how exactly would you play it off the calculator? It would just be pointless with the computer right there... Unless...
* King Grapmastur starts to think which is usually a very bad sign...
For the record, I purposefully skipped the discussion of the offtopic part.
I think Michael_Lee's original question was whether or not a computer could open it directly from the calculator, essentially treating it as a flash drive. Though a presentation program would be nice...
^ This. Although from looking at TI-Connect, data transfer looks a little slow, so executing anything directly on calc might not be the best idea... Also, clarification to question 1: is it possible in any way, shape, or form to alternate between KnightOS and TIOS without having to use a computer? (Edited the question w/ the clarification). lol, SirCmpwn's going to have a surprise when he next logs in - 2 pages spawned out of nowhere.

At the top, progress bars for projects. Bottom, XKCD

I would like?
Not sure if I could do more then just make a basic moving character, but it'd be fun to play with.

Really? Lucky. My teacher avoids graphing calculators - she almost always bans them on tests (we can use scientific, boring calculators, though), and the one time we were allowed to use them, she cleared the RAM as we submitted our tests... (funny story: I heard she was clearing the calcs, so I obsessively spent lunch trying to back things up, but she she only did a wimpy RAM clear, which happens to me about, say over 9000 times a day... And when I first started Axe, RAM clears were terrifying!)
Nice. I don't think teachers ever clear anything but the RAM, though. But for a lot of calc users, that's everything.
Yeah. I actually contemplated using MirageOS to lock access to the mem screen, but then she could have just pulled a battery while running a short program, if she was savvy enough...
She was trying to prevent us from copying test questions/answers. Pretty futile, considering that with Axe I can make frickin' APPLICATIONS if I feel like it. Only complete annihilation would kill that.
Or reset all? 
Reset all = complete annihilation. Actually, on second thought, reset all + delete the OS = complete annihilation. (Interestingly, deleting the OS doesn't delete anything in archive).
