Very nice project you got here  Any plans to make this compatible for Linux? I can provide some building help (for Linux) if you need it.

I would think that nSDL covers nDraw's more advanced drawing, and ndless already gave buffer access.
Yup - nDraw is very low-level stuff, so only the "simple stuff" will be handled. A driver (or port) for [n]SDL will be using the nDraw interface, since I'd like to be able to mix GUIs and amazing GFX (aka SDL). (This corresponds to the window/layer mgmt system in nDraw.) nDraw is simply the foundation for Tk and SDL drawing. I should clarify that by nDraw's "screen buffer access" I mean easier to use APIs to manipulate the screen buffer. You can access the screen buffer directly as offered by the ndless API - I will also have a function to return the buffer's location as well. Also, I was thinking: How hard would it really be to interface to the 84+ emu inside the nspires? I bet we could (without providing warez ofc) take the 84+ img and code off of an OS upgrade, and have an ndless prog load theirs! It's not much, but it is a start. At least theirs exists at the moment. That method would also allow for loading diff. OS versions as well as diff models of calc.
Ehh... I think I'll pass and take a not-so-buggy TI-8x ndless based emulator instead.  Besides, the old emulator would not work with the new CX anyway...

One of the things that we should really, really focus on is making a very versatile API for ndless, in form of a library. You will be in a big shock if you are transitioning from Lua - the C API for ndless (Nspire) development is VERY different - you must manage the screen manually, no gc:paint() or anything of the sort. Pixel by pixel. Not very fun, right? Key management is very different too, but that's another story... Therefore, we need some libraries to make all of this easier for the poor little developer! (Notice that the few programs that are out there are written by some very, very good devs, not ordinary ones that have been seen with the burst of activity from the introduction of Nspire Lua.) Word after word gets boring, and so I made this pretty little diagram to show you what I'd like to get done. (I was terribly bored when I did this  )  (I did this when I was bored = very tired, so there are some minor mistakes in this image. )

Aww, you ruined the surprise!  (j/k) But yeah, I got the lovely shiny clrhome.org domain for Deep Thought. Why? *.tk is blocked at my school. (Luckily they don't block .us.to ) I really like to visit ClrHome often, especially at school, but they block it for no good reason! So, I thought about getting a domain name for ClrHome to 1) "bypass" the school filter and 2) it's reached critical mass that it needs a pretty .org domain name and 3) why not? I don't expect anything back (it is a GIFT, after all!), and all the domain rights have been transferred to him (NameCheap rocks!), so enjoy the new domain name! (If Deep Thought is unable to renew for the 2nd year, I'd be happy to provide another Christmas present again. ) @epic7, Juju: heh, my username was just random nick picking, not actually me rocking/self-boasting as you may assume. But thanks! The blog update can be found here.

This is some really amazing stuff! Great job, calc84maniac! By the way, we should really hold off on the requests for emulators here... calc84maniac, although he hacked this thing really, really fast, is likely busy with plenty of stuff, and may or may not have the motivation/time to pick up another project. These things are hard to write, so give him some space and time, and don't pester him.

I'm not installing ANY linux distro. (i've tried ubustudio, mint, xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, etc.)
I called Acer. I has no warrenty.
(I do not want ANYTHING illegal btw!!! 
EDIT: All I really want is the Windows 8 style desktop.
That's asking for a bit too much... We can not do illegal things here, so the only thing I'll say is google and torrent Actually, if you are very serious about installing Windows 8 (bad idea ), here's an official, Microsoft link to download the entire ISO: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516

Linux Mint is a nice alternative to Ubuntu - it's pretty darn user friendly, so I think you might like it.
Get the DVD release and install it.

I think it would be fair if you asked those authors to write up a README, and then deduct a small amount of points for not having it. That way, their hard work doesn't go to waste, and that the rules (with the consequences) of having a README are honored.

I think this screenshot explains it all:  Basically, Deep Thought highlighted Netham45 once, which caused OmnomIRC to freak out and make me and Netham45 invincible. EDIT: And Deep Thought, as seen in the screenshot. Woo invincibility!

I think these guys also need to figure out how color and B/W works - that is, figure out the HW a bit, and then figure out how to let developers access the HW. They also need to figure out how to make old programs work on the CX (grayscale emulation). It's a lot of work, but they're on it. (Plus that better SDK that I've posted about above...)

I would like to see a solid API for ndless 3.1 before it's released... (I'm working on porting SDL, and possibly a GUI library to the Ndless platform for potential inclusion) I'm fine with a release without one, especially with the potential on the CX

on a thursday. From what I read the 4th in November.
You mean the 24th of November, right?
I wish a joyful, happy Thanksgiving to all! Don't bloat yourself, alright? * alberthdoesntrock wonders if he can code on Thanksgiving...
* epic7 is bringing his calc to his grandmas house Tommorow so he can code
Hey, you'd think I wouldn't notice, right?  To be specific... * alberthdoesntrock wonders if he can code on Thanksgiving... All kidding aside, I meant working on wxWabbitemu so I can try (in vain) to push out a "Turkey" alpha/beta or a "Black Friday" alpha/beta of wxWabbitemu.

Instead of checking for 'End of /MOTD command', you should check for the number that is before it.
irc.server.net 376: End of /MOTD
IRC servers that run in different languages may change the End of /motd text, but the number will pretty much always be there.
http://www.mirc.net/raws/
Those are almost always better to look for than the text.
Ahh, yeah... * alberthrocks is guilty for telling Spyro to check for "End of /MOTD" (I've always been using that method to check For user handling, I do string splitting.) Either way, it looks like a very nice resource to use!
