What about having both on a flash drive, and having a TI-OS installer to install KOS off of the flash drive, and a KOS installer to install TI-OS off of a flash drive?
Would that be feasible?

UniversalOS is an old 68k kernel like DoorsOS. Both are incompatible on the Titanium.
I find it interesting that they mentioned some pretty old kernels and shells. MirageOS is probably the most commonly used of them, but that's not actively developed anymore, is it? I wonder why?
Yes, we have the 68k keys as well.

Wait, what? TI still has it on their website? I knew it was available from Web Archive, but I would have thought they would have gotten rid of it elsewhere.
I'm going to download it now, so if/when I get an 84+ I don't need to resort to other means if TI has gotten rid of it by then.
EDIT: What was OS 0.46? Was it the one that had experimental printing capabilities?

Okay... I have two other questions, only partly relevant.
1. Is it possible to have both PreOS and KerNO installed at the same time? Or would I have to uninstall one before installing the other? KerNO says it can't be installed on top of a kernel, but could I install PreOS over KerNO?
2. Is it possible to permanently brick a 68k calc? Of course there's always hardware failure, and there is the possibility of Flash wearing out, but is there anything else?

Thanks Lionel. And yes, I'll continue to work on it myself at the same time.
I did notice an older version of that game when I searched the ticalc.org archives for Solar to see if anything used the name Solar89, but wasn't actually called Solar89 so I decided it was okay.

I suppose I could call the entire thing Solar89. That's already the name of the tokenizer. At the moment, development is held up due to an address error caused by the token file reading code that I've been unable to fix... I asked for help and posted the source code in this thread. Hopefully Lionel or someone else can help figure out what's wrong. I haven't been working on the token file because of recent issues with my calculator, but now that it appears to be in a stable state (or as stable as it was before I decided to delete TI's preinstalled flash apps, anyway), I'll get back to work on that.

I think I've gotten to the bottom of this.
Well, not really. I still don't know what was causing it, but I found a solution. I did a full backup, then I installed PreOS rather than KerNO (for no real reason, I just wanted to see if it would work differently), and then I cleared Flash ROM, both apps and my archive (using the MEM menu), and then did a RAM clear (using the key combination).
As I expected, I got a little "Crash intercepted" message in the bottom of the screen from PreOS, but all the apps deleted themselves (except for Super Start because I forgot to disable it), and if my calc was left unstable the RAM clear solved that.
Now I'm only going to put back the flash apps I want... and if they were preloaded ones, I'm definitely not going to take them from my backups, I'm going to download them from TI's site. Since I was able to delete downloaded TI apps with no trouble, they should be perfectly deletable.
Then I'll look through the programs I want to put back on and make sure they're all compatible, and then I'll run Ghostbuster on them just to be absolutely certain.
I'd still like to know why my calc got screwed up, but unless I have any other weird behavior I'm going to assume things are okay for now.

I would agree. Really, what is to be gained by continually e-mailing them? We know what they're going to say. Or, at least, we know what they really think and are avoiding saying to be polite.

While it's hardly a "great" game, I was impressed by the definitely-obscure CBR Pong. I kind of liked the idea of using a CBR or other external sensing device as part of a game. The fact that it's totally useless, since I would imagine very few people have a CBR, makes it less impressive though.

As AOC wrote, check the compatibility of KerNO and of your other programs with the Titanium. But neither KerNO nor PreOS are supposed to interfere with FlashApps the way you describe:
I just deleted the Spanish app, and my calculator now says BUSY in the corner of the screen and has automatically disabled the Apps desktop. When I reenabled it, I got an address error, but fortunately KerNO intercepted it. So I did a RAM clear and now the calculator works perfectly again.
I then tried deleting the French app (the only one left) with the Apps Desktop off. Didn't help, because when I turned it back on, I got another address error- or at least I assume I did. I forgot to reinstall KerNO. so I think that there's something else...
I'm not aware of GTC being horribly unstable, so I'd start by looking elsewhere.
Reinstall the OS, then reinstall HW3Patch, then PreOS or KerNO (the latter is enough as a crash protection), PreOS is necessary only for "kernel-based" programs (which are a minority).
KerNO is definitely compatible with Titanium HW3, but I don't know about HW4 (what I have). Could it make a difference? I don't really know what the differences in hardware versions are. Would it help if I ran Ghostbuster on everything on my Titanium? Also, these weird errors only seem to happen when deleting an app that was preloaded. I tried sending TI's calculus tools app to my calculator (a non-preloaded TI app that I had downloaded and deleted a while ago). After I sent it, I deleted it and there were no problems. Deleting it also seemed to be much faster than deleting the other apps, even the Spanish Stats one, which was smaller. Anyway, I just reinstalled the OS, HW3Patch, and KerNO, and I'll look into the compatibility status of various programs later when I have some free time.

And I know that before this, I was deleting apps fine. The only app that I ever had trouble deleting was Cabri, and as I said even that worked after I sent it back and used the Device Explorer. I had installed and deleted other applications since.
This was when I was using PreOS, not KerNO, I only recently switched to KerNO. PreOS gave me a "crash intercepted" message at the bottom of the screen.
Could KerNO be causing the problem? Does it work on the latest Titanium hardware and with the latest Titanium OS?
Or could installing GTC be related to the problem? I used BrandonW's resign68k to sign it with the 89 app key (since it was signed with the community key and I didn't want to install FlashAppy), and that was the last app I installed.
And when I reinstall the OS, should I use TI-Connect's OSDownloader instead of just sending it to my calculator?

Statistic Spanish (Stats) perhaps? I only have a normal TI-89 and I can't seem to remember what APPS it came with (if any). That was quite some time ago that I bought it though.
I think you're right. In any event, when I deleted that one, KerNO gave me an Illegal Instruction error message, but my calculator appeared to work fine afterwards despite that. I did a RAM clear anyway, and now I'm going to reinstall the OS.

Stylistically speaking, DMA usually stands for "Direct Memory Access" instead of "Dynamic Memory Allocation"  Oh, okay. (I based it on the Technoplaza tutorials, which use an error message similar to that). It's often hard to debug a program with just one function, could you upload the source somewhere so that we can 1) look at the full source, 2) compile it and 3) execute it?
Okay, I've attached it (with the compiled 89z, 9xz, and v2z files included).

Indeed, it's rather weird that removing apps can make your calculator crash. Maybe some other program left your calculator in an unstable state ?
Maybe. I know I had some problems before I installed Hw3 Patch, but that's to be expected, and I reinstalled the OS before installing Hw3 Patch. What would I need to do to make it stable again? Do another RAM clear? Reinstall the OS? I just deleted the Spanish app, and my calculator now says BUSY in the corner of the screen and has automatically disabled the Apps desktop. When I reenabled it, I got an address error, but fortunately KerNO intercepted it. So I did a RAM clear and now the calculator works perfectly again. I then tried deleting the French app (the only one left) with the Apps Desktop off. Didn't help, because when I turned it back on, I got another address error- or at least I assume I did. I forgot to reinstall KerNO. Also, on a semi-related note, what app is "Estad Espanol"? It's not taking up as much memory as the language localization apps but I don't know what it's for.
