Humour and Jokes / Re: 9001 signs you're addicted to calcs and Omni

442. You break into TI's headquarters and steal all of their secret documents
443. When doing 442, you break off all security protection with at TI-81
444. When doing 442, you shock all of the guards with a TI-84
445. You own all of the PET project calcs (btw, is there a way to get one of those things?)

Still, I would think this site is ok since they do have the touchpad Nspires.  They have only been out for a few months.  If the site was a scam, I would think that they would not have listed new products.

I think it will be a little while before the 2.1 nspire show up on shelves, but I am wondering if the Nspires with the touchpads built in will even be downgradeable at all.

Am I correct in assuming that we only need to crack one key to send our own OS.  Or do we need several keys (I remember reading about several keys the nspire is protected with).

critor, will this menu help in allowing downgrades?

Unless, of course, we somehow convince TI that Ndless isn't evil.

I think that will take an Ndless amount of time. :(

Great job Deep Thought! :D

Hopefully this will be noticed by someone!

qazz42, Goplat released a new version of the nspire emulator today on unitedti that supports the new OS

The TI-Nspire Docking Station which needs OS 2.1 will be the 3rd attack... and the next OS in march with 3D graphing and maybe a paying sdk will be the 4th and 5th attack.

We have to strike back before that...

critor, when you say "paying sdk" do you mean a sdk that can be used to develop programs (games) in ASM/C or one that can only be used to create TI-Nspire documents like on calc.

Excellent article, Deep Thought.  Hopefully this will be noticed by someone and we can strike back!!! :D

Other Calculators / Re: Let's hack Nspire OS 2.1!

What is your goal in doing this? To find a way to execute ASM programs.  (I am sorry if you had this in your post, I may have missed it).

I was just wondering, can you add/delete/modify files in the .tno file in the program you are using to extract these files.  I am using 7-zip (on Windows 7) and I can access all of these files, but I cannot add/delete/modify them.

Has anyone confirmed that it is possible to downgrade to 2.0 from 2.1 on the touchpad nspire?  Assuming the block is caused by the hardware, it might block all OS downgrades.

I don't have an account on slashdot, but I am willing to contribute to posting about this.  Maybe we should mention that by blocking programming on the Nspire, TI is preventing a generation of calculator users from understanding a fairly complicated computer programming language that can help in learning more things about computers.  I know that I have learned a ton about programming/computers in general by learning C.  Eventually, if the Nspire becomes TI's only calc (or others like the Nspire that block ASM programs) they will be preventing a generation of students from important computer knowledge.  Many "Coders of Tomorrow" get their start by programming TI calcs.

General Calculator Help / Re: 68k Flash Apps?
« on: July 16, 2010, 04:01:58 pm »
I agree with Lionel Debroux that this feature will not be implemented.  The activity of the 68k community has dropped a lot over the past few years.  I am getting into 68k programming now, but I find myself to be more interested in programming for the TI-Nspire instead of my 89.

What input? I only have disp and the variables you define at the begining, or did I miss something?

In OS 2.0 or higher, you can use "Request" or "RequestStr" for input from a program.

Nspire has BASIC, actually, albeit in a limited form, w/o getkey and such. Not good for making games without getkey, though. (TI probably did this on purpose)

TI-Nspire BASIC is getting better, but I doubt we will ever get getkey.  At least we have input methods now!  I doubt we will see an update to Nspire basic anytime soon, unless TI wants to tempt us to upgrade our OS by adding these features. :(
