Is an underlying POV Hat or D-Pad present beneath the touchpad; either physically or emulated by the firmware? It seems the latter may be in effect already, although I am suspicious of this. If not, is it possible for a secondary application -- one separate from Ndless altogether -- to serve as a keymapper? (Windows' xPadder and freeware JoyToKey are examples of this in the x86 environment) Transmuting the nonstandard "Analogue Stick" to Arrow Keys wields a similar predicament.

My pre-purchased textbooks, with addition to a shiny new (emphasis on the shiny) TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad, have finally arrived  . I'm amazed at how convenient it is to have the majority of questions actually designed specifically for readers with TI-Nspire's  . The prior years have featured TI-84+, although with the absence of the exact same calculator (went for a cheapo K-Mart one) I was advised to skip entire units because of this. Regardless, the Aussie Government is now placing larger focus on TI integration than graph paper . Hooray for TI!!!

Which of these files, exactly, is Ndless (in its uncompiled form)? I have found the Ndless readme file ( https://www.unsads.com/scm/svn/nsptools/Ndless/trunk/doc/ReadMe.txt) but it does not mention its whereabouts. From the integrated browser on usads, I cannot determine which specifically it is referring to; the multitude of files contained in the Trunk becoming frustrating. Am I to assume the extensionless "makefile," featured in the root directory, is the only required file for compilation? Sorry for being a noob. I develop Visual and Quick Basic (yup, dos geek here) applications for school and home use. I merely do not know where to start in the TI World and would proudly help out with the mighty NDless. If anyone had a URL of where necessary files are located, I would greatly appreciate it. PS: I've deleted my posts regarding the status of the keyboard, which were inadvertently "offensive" to viewers  . I don't want to bother with my development suggestions, I'll leave you in peace now.

Where exactly are the binaries, codes or files, and what do I do with them once they are acquired  . With the lack of knowledge of nspireOS coding, I don't even know what language it IS in. Do I require any applications on my PC (such as activeperl) to compile it? I have, without intelligent wording, no idea how to program directly into NspireOS at all, not really knowing what Ndless "is" (a Ti-BASIC application?) at all in the first place  . Is it already "halfway" compiled, compared to something such as S60 (being the most numerous and nonrestrictive mobile OS) and its .sis signing. Is there even an installer for ANY ndless distribution at all? At the most basic level, what exactly IS this???

Just being cautious I'd presume, you're probably totally correct, Critor (though I'd wait a few months for the beta myself). Although there is no hard evidence of total OS annihilation, I wouldn't want to rely on scouring the forums for fixes if there are. A most users imply "crashes" without supplying a cause, the malware-filled (not to mention illegal) OS dumps from rapidshare may be my only backup if something unthinkable happens.
Thanks for the help
PS: Is downgrading to 1.7 is the only way to run the ndless currently. If so, there is absolutely no way my Nspire (being both touchpad hardware and CAS software) will be able to. I know about the loop myself (caused by the absence of appropriate input and the ramifications surrounding this) and I've advised my peers to stay with the oldschool models.

Furthermore, does OS 1.7 differ completely to OS 2.1, or are they really identical in function input. I do NOT want to downgrade merely for the quick thrill of Mario. Is there a balance between the two. My fears are comparative to downgrading PC to Windows 95: full support for Commander Keen (DOS) vs support for Visual Basic and Office (7).
Thanks.

As first posts go, this one is pretty awesome.
Welcome to the Omni forums, hope you enjoy your stay.
Thanks JustCause. After lengthy decision, I - along with mates at school - are leaning towards the TI-Nspire TouchPad CAS. Being the latest and apparently greatest OS of the pack, it is currently the only calculator officially supported in my Mathematics Textbook anyway. Although homebrew is currently not supported via OS 2.1 (or 2.0 for that matter) I'd rather wait for the new Ndless distribution. The balance between education and mario is just too idiotic. Also, since the peak of prior discussion was at a degree of change, how different is the Touch/clickpad's software. Apparently the menus are totally different, despite the congruent naming of OS 2.1 for both tangents. You mentioned earlier that applying a clickpad is possible on the touchpad series. Would this be via opening the calculators hardware and manually rewiring? ...and would doing this allow installation of OS 1.7 (for Ndless) later? Please help me out, as time is nearing its depletion!

Hello Omnimaga. I, along with millions of students this year, are required to purchase a new TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad (OS 2.0) in our many booklists  . My question to you, omnimaga, is what are the basic "things" we need to use the calculator for functions such as running homebrew programs. You seem to take the knowledge of GameBoy Color (gba4nspire or TI-Boy) emulation for granted, yet if one was to download the wrong upgrades (OS 2.1) the calculator would be rendered useless  . What OSes are compatible with which Ndless versions, and it it even required for gaming at all. What do we all need to buy - as rendering a $400 calculator unable to run tetris is apparently a common fate - and how do we go about doing this? Is downgrading to OS 1.7 a good step, or is this impossible from 2.0. Will Ndless even work in 1.7 (and what version) or is it TOO beta for the moment. The majority of your forum can do it, so please (PLEASE) educate us in the fine art of TI-Nspire. In conclusion, what do we do and when (step by step would be nice) can we do it!?! From Schoolies everywhere; aka SatanicToothpaste.
