Well, the OS itself isn't a dev one, at least I believe so, since the theme.csv is the same one as the production ones, while the dev oens are much more verbose...
Who knows what you have ^^

Was the price quite lower than usual ?

News / Re: Z80 emulation arrives on the TI-Nspire CX
« on: March 25, 2013, 04:51:00 am »
Pure awesomeness.
Hope TI won't block Ndless soon though. D:
You mean you hope TI won't further block downgrading to an ndlessable OS ;)

It would be nice, but I don't really think they will keep this ability, since the next "big" version (not a bugfix update or something) is, well, a major one, and blocking downgrade will also block Ndless.... Anyway, maybe they will if they ever think it needs to be done to prevent a bigger issue with bricked calcs, for example, like we have seen before, or for people wanting to go back to 3.2 because they dont like the new one ...

Hosting the roms directly like that is illegal, so ...
But yeah, ways to get ROMS are to find them through the mysterious ways of the Internet ... (:P)  or to dump it from your calc.

Hello, may one of you be kind enough to tell me how to install this emulator?

Thank you.

Edit: It doesn't work on my CX

1) Get a TI-84+SE rom and rename it ro "rom.tns"
2) Transfer that to your ndless/ directory
3) transfer the emulator in the same ndless/ directory
4) launch the emulator and press [menu] to turn on the 84
5) Enjoy ?

(the whold "ndless/ directory" thing is probably 100% exact, I guess you can put it anywhere as long as the emu and the rom are in the same folder)

Thanks :)  (Also, you should have version numbers :P)

Great :)

Anyway, yes, focus on the non-color :P. But you do know you pretty much have to ask KermM (for example) for the LCD driver details ! Anyway it will be awesome ^^

On my CX CAS, when I launch it, "nothing" happens for 1-2 seconds, and then the OS is back (the menu appears since I tried tapping on Menu to turn the 84 on)


Also, btw : what about a 84C emu since only the LCD driver changes ? :P

The number of bits used for they key makes it impossible for anybody to crack it in a bruteforce way, as of this post's time.
(it would take idk how many years....)

More details here, I believe : http://ourl.ca/6236/99664

About Nspire Lua, it has OOP natively (by natively I mean that the things to create classes and objects are already there).
Here's a simple example combining the event-based structure, classes, and user interaction : http://wiki.inspired-lua.org/Balls_Example

I actually find it (event-based) way better than "traditional" things, like C, say, where you actually have to make a look for catching keypresses :o An event just fits right in , for thies kinds of situation. Anyway, it's probably just a matter of getting used to it. Like the fact that when I tried looking at what the Casio-Basic code was like, I was about to throw the calc out the window :D (it was so werid for me compared to what I knew)

Hmm. Of what I've seen the Nspire is actually way above the PRIZM. I think TI therefore released the TI-84+ Color to compete with the PRIZM, instead of the Nspire, which is "way out of it's liege" :P

Excuse me, but for some reason I've gotten some biased feeling towards the PRIZM, since "they"(some prizm fans) *try* to make it seem so much better than the Nspire, but it's actually the only other color calc they could run to to "boycott" TI because they didn't like some features. And it always seems like they try to minimize the power of LUA too.

Here's the article, which is not biased by the way(:P): http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=87

Actually the 84+CSE is way inferior to the PRIZM except in one way:

Calculator PRIZM 84+CSE
User RAM 61 KB 21 KB
Total RAM 2048 KB 128 KB
Flash 16 MB 3 MB
CPU 58 MHz 15 MHz
Overclocked 94.3 MHz 15 MHz
BASIC colors 8 15
ASM colors 65536 65536
In raw hardward comparison, that's 100% true, that's actually why the comparison was done earlier (and still is), to the Nspire CX (non-CAS) since it was the one competing against especially when it came out, in which case, the Nspire wins easily.

However, PRIZM BASIC can be up to 30 times slower than the 84+CSE, add-ins are minimum 29 KB large instead of 16 and it doesn't support the ability to use ASM libs inside BASIC programs.
Why is it so bad ? :o

The Nspire is far superior in power, but it lacks proper TI-BASIC (lua doesn't count, because it's much more complex than TI-83+ BASIC in terms of syntax size and much slower than Axe, otherwise people wouldn't be switching from Nspire dev to 84+ Axe one after another)
The Nspire Basic is crap for drawing things for example, but I find it way better than the z80 for doing math-related stuff. THen, Lua could be the Axe of the z80, since it allows kind of anything, graphics-related, and offers cool things like a physics engine, etc. in several ways like Axe, far superior to Basic. And then, the Nativ programming of the Nspire would be the native of the z80 too. Btw, what do you mean "otherwise people wouldn't be switching from Nspire dev to 84+ Axe one after another" ? I haven't really heard of people doing so ? (or aat least not in such amount that it's really considerable ?) I personnaly believe programming on the Nspire has nothign to do with programmiing on other platforms. On the Nspire, you have multiple devices to work with (calc, computer software, iPad app now...), the z80 really are for high-schoolers, I guess, where it's all focused on being a portable/handheld device, where users can use it in classes and do everything on it, "mostly".

and you face the constant threat that TI might block Ndless for the latest OS
Well, it's more of a fact than a threat. They just keep [trying / succeding depending on the OS version] to block it in the latest updates

Quote
then make Ndless-compatible OSes unavailable online (eg deleting the OSes from their servers then sending DMCA notices to people re-hosting them, like they did with OS 1.1)
So far, it's been "accepted" on TI-Planet. At least we haven't received such request from them. But at the same time, it's part of our "digital museum" for TI related things, and i personnaly believe the more OS we save, the better... it would be a pity to just lose an OS version because some rare hosts....

General Calculator Help / Re: My nspire cx touchpad won't respond
« on: March 20, 2013, 06:56:36 am »
Indeed @DJ_O, that would be good for people willing to try.

Also, if I might be of any help for those with the issue :
Levak and I ,some time ago, created nRemote, which can control your Nspire remotely, from your computer. Maybe if the touchpad + keyboard doesn't respond, you can actually delete traces of Ndless etc. before sending it back to TI, "just in case".
https://github.com/adriweb/nRemote

(even though, if it's "only" the touchpad that's not respondig, you should still be able to do w/e things that work with Enter for [Click])

Weirdly enough, it never crashed for me on the latest version.

They follow the reviews carefully though, so they are probably aware of whatever's wrong.
