General Calculator Help / Re: How to obtain TI-81 rom?« on: August 11, 2010, 04:10:14 pm »
I've had it crash for an emulated 81, too. Unity doesn't install, and matrix operations cause funny things to happen. Theoretically, a fixed version of the emulator that works correctly can function on a newer 84+(SE), since it only needs 8KB of RAM plus the 768 bytes for the LCD.
Edit: Yeah, an 83+SE would be awesome. I'm gonna look into getting one eventually. 1488
General Calculator Help / Re: How to obtain TI-81 rom?« on: August 11, 2010, 04:03:43 pm »
yeah, along with the 82, 83, and 81, AFAIK. They'll all crash eventually.
The reason why is because of how emu8x uses extra RAM. Page $82 contains ram page 1 of the emulated calc, and page $83 contains ram page 0. At the beginning of page $84 is where the emulated LCD is backed up. Other stuff is stored in appBackupScreen. (L3 for you Axe programmers ) On the calcs w/o the extra RAM, all the extra pages are the same. Pages $82, $83, and $84 are all the same page. This means that, for the emulated calc, a write to, say, $9D95 (which is on ram page 1), will be mirrored at $DD95 on ram page 0. When you press left-right-alpha to bring up the emulator menu, the emulated LCD is backed up, and overwrites $8000-$82FF and $C000-$C2FF in the emulated calc's RAM. Keeping it from crashing is an art Edit: Actually, the LCD backup might be used actively, which means those addresses mirror the LCD constantly. And for the 86, it's even worse, because it uses all the extra RAM pages. 1489

I'm not sure there's a large enough portable one around the house...

Back!
Having finally worked my way through the posts I missed to this one, I'd just like to say that I have returned. And, slightly off-topic, school where I am starts in exactly two weeks 1493
TI-BASIC / Re: Why never to use Goto.« on: August 11, 2010, 01:05:00 pm »
The reason Goto is slow when the Lbl is near the bottom of program is because, IIRC, when the parser encounters a Goto it will search the entire program, beginning to end, until it finds it.
In general, though, yeah, Goto is frowned upon as bad programming practice. Its main advantages are optimizations when you really know what you're doing (or, if in ASM, for example, the language provides no other options.) 1494

The only camera I have is a built-in webcam Lemme see if I can borrow someone else's
Not that there'd be much to see, just a laptop, a calculator near-permanently connected to that laptop, and maybe the z80 instruction set I had printed out... I might try to get a pic later, though. 1496
Other Calculators / Re: Where did you get your calcs from?« on: August 11, 2010, 09:52:19 am »
A lot of you seem to have multiple calcs O_O.
I only have one TI-84+SE, purchased for school from Walmart. (For under $100, IIRC, after several coupons (not me, I wasn't the purchaser )) 1497

Yeah, the time is absolutely awful for me (eastern coast here). However, I guess I could always check the logs if making it earlier is too difficult.

I was wondering this to, but if it's too hard, then that's okay
