Other Calc-Related Projects and Ideas / Re: Nspire LCD mod - we need it!
« on: October 09, 2010, 06:19:42 pm »
So we can make TSRs for the Nspire, then?

Could OS patches in the style of Hw3Patch, FlashAppy or FreeFlash be made, that write to the areas of flash memory containing the OS? Is that conceivably possible, or impossible for some reason?

General Calculator Help / Re: OS 1.7, 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 download links

why is OS 2.0.0.1188  not recommended?

other than that, nice find

Because after Mic from TI-BANK installed it on his calc, his calc became bricked. Whether 2.0 was responsible for this or not is unknown.

We just discussed this on #omnimaga earlier, and there's a link to the translated TI-BANK topic where this was discussed:

[15:15:35] <+alberthro> why is 2.0.0 not recommended? crashy?
[15:15:51] <DJ Omnimaga> because of the incident with Mic calc
[15:16:04] <DJ Omnimaga> we have no confirmation that 2.0.0 was the cause of his calc death
[15:16:14] <+alberthro> ouch O_O
[15:16:16] <DJ Omnimaga> but he contacted TI about the calc and sent it to them
[15:16:22] <TC01> Wait, it got totally bricked?
[15:16:24] <DJ Omnimaga> and shortly afterward, OS 2.0.1 came out
[15:16:35] <DJ Omnimaga> which seems to be an indication that 2.0.1 fixes this issue
[15:16:40] <DJ Omnimaga> TC01 yeah
[15:17:28] <TC01> Did they give him a replacement?

[15:17:34] <DJ Omnimaga> i forgot

Yeah, it's better than the way it was before.

I'm just pointing it out that it's still happening, albeit in a readable fashion.

139
It happened again... although slightly differently:

[10:26:34] <willrandship> well, it is an apple computer
[10:26:40] <TC01> Apple stuff is overpriced, though<willrandship> they always cost too much :P
[10:26:47] <+Genolo> lol
[10:26:52] <TC01> ...not the OmnomIRC glitch again

Miscellaneous / Re: Weird File Names
« on: October 08, 2010, 11:05:00 pm »
Those look like files moved over from WabbitEmu onto a computer. That's what the **TI83F* header means (all TI calc files have a header like that with the name of the calculator). The rest is the binary data of the files.

Maybe WabbitEmu is backing them up to the C:\ drive for some reason? Buckeye would be more qualified to answer what's going on.

News / Re: Casio Prizm - Color graphic calculator
« on: October 08, 2010, 04:54:14 pm »
It looks cool- hopefully it supports assembly (or C) right out of the box, and not just Casio-Basic or whatever language Casio calcs use. (I know a bit about HP calcs but nothing about Casio).

I did think it was some new cell phone (or some cell phone hacking project by an Omni member) when I first saw it.

News / Re: TI-84+SE discontinued?
« on: October 05, 2010, 03:35:16 pm »
Yeah but someone mentionned that the production stoppage mention has been removed in those countries too, yesterday. Is the 84+SE page still gone?

There wasn't a production stoppage mention there, though. The pages were just deleted without any announcement (according to critor's post on page 3).

And the 84+ SE pages are still gone on those sites.

No, TC01, the production stoppage/discontinuation announcment in those countries has been removed yesterday.

I do remember that... but it has been discontinued in four countries (where TI just removed the 84+ SE page).

So someone somewhere screwed up and 6 other counties followed along, or they really were thinking of discontinuing it in sed countries.

No, the calc is being discontinued in those countries (at least- I think it is). The screwup was the "Production Halted" message- which would mean the calc was being discontinued everywhere (since there's only one factory where 84+ SEs are made).

EDIT: Or maybe not? I thought apcalc's message from TI said that?

TI Z80 / Re: [DCS][ASM] AxeAid
« on: October 04, 2010, 08:22:26 pm »
Well, SirCmpwn submitted something called AxeAid- quote from results topic on Cemetech:

Quote
SirCmpwn sent in an ASM entry called AxeAid. It uses the DCS GUI libraries for ASM programs to offer on-calc documentation for Axe, the compiled language for z80 calculators. He also left placeholders for other features, including a sprite editor, that he hopes to complete at a later date. We are happy to award him second place in the ASM category along with an associated USB adapter and power injector for his TI-84+ calculator.

Hopefully, that's the truth. And hopefully it doesn't mean they will phase out the 84+ SE in America soon too.

I also just cross-posted this on Cemetech- I also earlier posted the news about the removal of that "Production halted" message there.

Something else interesting is that the TI site DJ linked to on the last page has a Google cache from September 21st... which is nine days before it was reported here. And in that cache, the silver edition is listed as discontinued.

I could check other caches if I had the time, but basically that means the calc has been "discontinued" for some time before we found out about it. I wonder how long?

We could send him a Google cache of a page, or a Web Archive page.

Or we could ask him about the four calc sites that no longer list the 84+ SE? See Critor's post on page 3 for reference.

I'm wondering if TI is just discontinuing the calc in some countries, and it's the "production stopped" message that's in error?

Because what TI has been denying is the discontinuing of the calc- not that it's going to be no longer available in some countries. It might explain the "what country are you from?"

I checked all the links critor posted earlier in this thread- on the sites where the calc had been listed as production stopped, the "production stopped" message has been removed. On the sites, however, where the calculator has vanished, it's still gone.

So I've gotten a email back from my guy too. He's asking where this information was posted, and I was going to show him the TI pages that tell it but I can't find any of them. All the previous links just go to the product page. So are there any sites, by TI, that show that this is still being discontinued?

Hey- you're right!

This page: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/SUISSE/productDetail/chf_ti84pse.html (that critor linked to at the start) doesn't have a "Production Stopped" message anymore... however, there's no link on the page to buy it either.

What's going on?
