Hi Larry, Just a short answer, I did not test kArmTI with the latest TI OS versions. All my UsbExplorer tests were done using OS 3.1. I'm afraid TI has extensively modified the USB protocol since OS 3.1 (maybe due to kArmTI existence, we'll never know...). Also, in the latter versions the console output is much more verbose with a lot of unnecessary (junk) messages. So, for the moment only OS3.1 is expected to work, what IMO is more than enough for the great majority of Nspire applications. Sorry for any possible inconvenience.
"W8.1 with bing" is a completely different scenario. I'll need to test it more thoroughly when i get hold of one of those 'reduced compatibility' toys.

About your skin: It looks great, good idea, thanks! I did some some key position adjustments and I'm sending it back as 'v_skin_nd_703.skz'. BTW, in the latter versions of kArmTI you can drop 'v_skin_nd_702.zip' directly over the Skins Manager ListCtrl. The unzipping and the placing in the SKINS directory get's done automagically. -------- kArmTI_v1.761: Some tiny fixes to kArmTI_v1.76 that might come in handy: a) some button icons were missing b) on Auxiliar Display the Halftone option was not being persisted to registry. -------- Windows 8.1 with Bing (x32) tablets: Sorry, i don't have one of those  . Edit:I have modified kArmTI to work only with the Auxiliary Display (main lcd not visible) based on Larry's suggestion. Named it v1.77. I hope there are no secondary effects. Please check the companion skin.

Well, for me this comes as a big surprise on the one hand and at the same time as a huge disappointment. I do not think you are the best judge on your own cause, period. Let others judge your behaviour. Soon you'll find out you're not that weird a person. I for one do appreciate very much (perhaps not always) your grasp of the community members behaviour. Most of the times you get it just right. That's a special (gift) ability you are born with (genetics, oh yeah) not something you get through schooling. Come on, after all it was you who started this nice site AND it has been a success (admit it!). Hope to see you around (maybe under another alias) sometime soon. My sincere appreciation for your dedication and work. I wish your the best of luck in your future projects (maybe 'Find a girl, Settle down...' - Cat Stevens, 1970). Cheers,

Hi Larry, Thanks. I do own a windows 8.1 (x64) laptop and i've just tested kArmTI v1.76 and i did not find anything unusual. I can copy files either way using USB Explorer. For the moment that's all i can say. Hopefully you'll sort it out too. Good luck with your books  .

Hi khiconmtv On the Arm port:As I told you sometime ago, I actually did some tests on the ARM port around August14, IIRC. Then i came to the conclusion the performance was so not good enough. Probably i won't try it again, because good and cheap x86 based phones are already available on the market. Besides, there are some difficulties when it comes to implement an efficient binary translator (aka dynarec or jit) on the ARM cpu. Here are a couple of links that partially talk about it and may help others: http://community.arm.com/groups/processors/blog/2010/02/17/caches-and-self-modifying-codehttp://wanderingcoder.net/2010/07/19/ought-arm/About Nspiroid, v0.70:I've touched a bit the graphics. To show it off i've grabbed two screencasts one from the ZenFone5 and another from the MemoPad ME176C: On ZenFone5, 1.6GHz &feature=youtu.be [/youtube] On MemoPad176C, 1.86GHz &feature=youtu.be [/youtube] Cheers.

Apparently the raspberry foundation decided to bring out a new pi: The Raspberry Pi 2. It is on sale for $35, which is just as much as RPi1 B+
...
What type of projects do you develop for/on the Raspberry Pi? It would interest many of our visitors/users (me included).

Thank you guys! I'm providing a bit more info on how to test it. Nspiroid minimum requirements: - x86 base cpu (eg: Atom Z2560, 1.6GHz or more) - hdpi: 1280x800 ( > 160dpi < 240dpi ) - xhdpi: 1280x720 ( > 240dpi < 320dpi ) Examples: hdpi: ASUS MemoPad 176C ( 1280x800, ~216dpi , Atom Z3745, Quad-Core 1.86GHz) xhdpi: ASUS ZenFone 5 ( 1280x720, ~294dpi , Z2580/Z2560, Dual-Core 2.0GHz/1.60GHz) xhdpi: ASUS ZenFone 6 ( 1280x720, ~245dpi , Z2580, Dual-Core 2.0GHz) All of them are pretty affordable. Phones cost 200€ around here, brand new. 7.0" Tablets are cheaper. Maybe expensive for some ppl, idk.  Of course, you can always try the HAXM emulator before buying any device, cheaper for sure, but a bit cumbersome to set up and in the end a lot slower too. The HAXM emulator usage can be a bit scary for noobs to the Android SDK environment.

Hey Guys, You guessed it, it's a nspire_emu port to the Android mobile platform (x86!). The performance isn't terrible and it can be fun to bring the calc within your phone stuff. So, without further ado here is an Nspiroid_xxx.apk for you. Quite possibly not everything will be up to your liking, but that will come, time allowing. Place your boot + flash file(s) in the /scard/nspire folder and off you go. Have fun and also a warm day, it's rather cold down here (yeah, in Portugal). Edit1: QuickLinks 1. First version, v0.95 running on ARM CPUs, Jul11,'152. What you should know to use Nspiroid (start up info)3. First stable version, v1.09 (fat) running on both x86 and ARM CPUs4. Special version, v1.19 that runs only on the Lenovo, Yoga 2, 13.3", 2560x1440, tablet5. Version v1.20, Jan04,'16Edit2: Version v1.26, Mar09,'16 - external keyboard (Bluetooth) support . Edit3: Version v1.40, May10,'16 - Keypad theming.

Hi Andrew!
Nice to see you around ('One of the last of the Mohicans'?) still producing beautiful Nspire games. Thanks for you kind words (as usual, btw) and Wine feedback. Have a great day without much blizzard, i hope.

Hi guys,
It's been a long while since my last post. Professional stuff comes first as most of you will know. Here's yet another kArmTI update v1.76, x86. In general, i've tried to improve the reliability and the speed of the usblink connection. There's a new UsbFavourites popup. I have not tested this on Vista or Wine and i do not intend to do so. Have a nice day.

Well, if it doesn't happen to you (with your 64bit Windows), then I guess it's only a problem of the 32bit version!? No, i'm not taking about the 64-bit version, I mean kArmTI v1.753 32-bit version running on a window7 64-bit, that's quite different. At least here on my 32bit-Vista this crash happens everytime when I press the left-arrow key, no matter in which part of kArmTI. I'm sorry to hear that. Well, what i can say at the moment is that you have plenty of previous kArmTI working versions, so please do not make a problem out of nothing. Maybe you should better forget the 64bit compile, I don't really see any advantage of 64bit for the kArmTI emulation, and the 32bit version has always worked fine in the past. With due respect Franz, if you don't mind, i think is up to me to decide. And, it so happens, i can see plenty of advantages on the 64-bit port, which, BTW, is not being addressed here at all. Have a nice day,

SpiroH,
Awesome emu! Only problem is, I am stuck to using v1.65 - anything after that seems to introduce a crash whenever a left arrow is pressed anywhere within the emu - boot options dialogue, emu main window, skin manager, literally anywhere!
Also encountering and error whereby the hotkeys such as ^ and brackets are not working when using a touchpad skin - they work fine when using a clickpad skin!
I am running in on Ubuntu 14.04 under Wine, so I don't know if this is causing the problems I am encountering?
+1 for native Linux and Android (ARM) ports please 
Hi Tony, Oops, definitely not my happy day  . Nice family you have there, btw. Unfortunately, right now, I have just about 244 tests on my desk awaiting for urgent correction. I'll have a look at the kArmTI issues, ASAP (i'm a bit surprised, but it only happens to programmers... ). With regards to native Linux, maybe you could research on Youtube for NspireX... Thanks for the feedback, and welcome to Omnimaga. I hope you'll enjoy your stay. Thanks to Franz too for the usual fantastic assistance. Without your feedback things cannot improve and normally faults are quite simple to tackle. You'll hear from me sometime soon. EDIT1:I've just done a quick test with kArmTI version v1.75, on my windows 64-bit and: Only problem is, I am stuck to using v1.65 - anything after that seems to introduce a crash
whenever a left arrow is pressed anywhere within the emu - boot options dialogue, emu main window, skin manager, literally anywhere! I cannot reproduce this problem at all, never! Also encountering and error whereby the hotkeys such as ^ and brackets are not working when using a touchpad skin - they work fine when using a clickpad skin! They work just fine on my system! This is very weird, but as i said above I'll have a more thourough look when i have more time. I would appreciate if more ppl would report similar crashes, though.

On a side note, I am surprised that Texas Instruments didn't release a new OS yet since this downgrade fix exploit came out. Normally, it just takes 1 hour or less. 
Maybe their fix is not a real fix and they just want the ndless-publicity. I can't belive TI programmers are that dumb .
