Sorry for the late reply, but thank you all for your help!

Good to see more 68k people popping up! Enjoy your new calc, the TI-89 is great!

It seems like the new boot code is a quite negative addition to the OS; at this point, tests performed by critor seem to indicate that downgrading is blocked! 
Bah, really sucks, especially with all those problems that the MP OSes have brought us. It has OS 2.55MP, right?
Yes, it has OS 2.55 MP.

Much like they did with the Nspire CX, Texas Instruments has taken the liberty of sending TI-BANK and critor a test of the TI-84 Pocket: A short summary of the new calc is posted in the original thread: TI sent me a brand new TI-84 Pocket.fr.
Check the photos, tests and informations on TI-Bank:
http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=1176
To be short:
- as expected, it's similar with the basic TI-84+
- no miracle: only 48Kb RAM like all recent TI-84+
You might have been right with the 2.71MP OS.
The calculator includes a new 1.03 Boot Code. Remember that on TI-z80 Flash, the Boot Code only deals with the OS installation...
So probably some bad news very soon...
With the new 1.03 Boot Code on the new TI-84 Pocket.fr (and probably soon on the newest TI-84+/84+SE):
- you cannot downgrade to any TI OS below 2.55MP
- you cannot install third party OSes anymore
- you cannot even install a patched 2.55MP OS
- the OS validation screen alone needs 6-7 minutes in the best case (no, it's not frozen)
It seems as if the new Boot Code 1.03 is a disastrous addition to the calculator. Much like with OS 2.1, the boot code blocks downgrading and third party Operating Systems on the TI-84. With the exception of the MP Operating Systems (which technically could be considered an "update"), TI has done little against the 84 community, making most of their attacks against the Nspire. This marks a new age, with a direct attack against TI-84 developers. The loss of ability to install any OS makes it impossible for users to downgrade to the more stable OS 2.43 and to install custom OSes, such as KnightOS. Although this boot code can only be confirmed to exist on the TI-84 Pocket, it is possible that it will find its way on newly produced TI-84s, bringing disastrous results to the 84 development community. OS 2.71 MP is not April Fools any more!  More information, good and bad, will be added here when available.

Yeah I know but that's not what I was asking. I was asking if it would be possible in the future to display smaller resolution videos in full screen, using zooming/scaling?
Also do you plan to include Omni link (to the Nplayer discussion) in the next versions? Also are you planning to put it in the downloads section?
Yes, that is a possibility in the future, but my first priority is working on a better compression method. I was planning on putting this in the Omni archives tonight, but I had to go to a friend's party and was away from my computer. Likewise, I could have sworn I put an Omni like in the pdf file (I probably accidentally deleted it when I edited the last part of it last night). I will update both tomorrow!

Do you plan to implement scaling eventually? So smaller videos still shows up full screen (or at least 2x larger if they're at least 2x smaller than the LCD)
Video size is decided while using the video->bmp converter on the computer (SUPER). This has options for several sizes, including 320x240. I used the smaller size to save on memory! nPlayer can use any size, provided that it fits the screen!

Though I actually "finished" the current version a while back, I have finally decided to release nPlayer! nPlayer allows one to play videos on the TI-Nspire through Ndless and several computer programs. Though a somewhat simple process, it does yield beautiful results! Screen shots are available in the nPlayer topic and the ticalc file info page. Enjoy!

Wow, its been a while since I posted here! I finally decided to restart work on this project. Nevertheless, after looking at my old code, I realized how hard it would be for me to implement things such as monsters, switches, etc. with it, thus I decided to rewrite the game engine from scratch. Here are the results so far!:  Hopefully, much more progress will come in the next few days, before I go away (with no computer access :'() next week!

This is wonderful to hear! I should probably now release nPlayer, as the only thing preventing me was I was too lazy to compile a version that worked on Ndless 1.7!

Fk I've been gone a long time 
Welcome back! I was wondering where you went!

I agree with this completely! Actually, I have never even included the instructions in an Nspire document page, only in a separate ReadMe file. Most of the time, the contents of a ReadMe play a large role in whether I actually try a game!

It's actually not too bad for beginning Nspire programming, you just can't do much stuff with it.
This is very true. In fact, many excellent programs have been produced with Nspire BASIC. Particularly, see critor's mCAS and all of Nelson Souna's Chemistry tools.

It is actually somewhat difficult to add a program editor to a document. Open a new document, and hit ctrl+i to add a new page. Then, before selecting the app you wish to add, hit the escape key. Then, hit ctrl+home, then scroll down to insert, and choose program editor from the list. You can finally now start your program. Feel free to ask if you have any additional questions!
