The problem with the .8Xv is that one of the fields is incorrect (the checksum), so TI-Connect doesn't like it. Exporting it from WabbitEmu will give it the right checksum. As for using WabbitEmu, I highly recommend it. WabbitEmu emulates all the z80 calcs except for the 81 IIRC (73, 82, 83, 83+(SE), 84+(SE), 85, 86). If by ROM you mean the OS, then yes. If by ROM you mean the boot-code, then no, and sharing ROM's is illegal. As for making a ROM for use by WabbitEmu or other emulators, I recommend rom8x[/quickguidetowabbitemu]

*calcdude proceeds to make DJ feel betterI'll remember this page and come back to it about a month after it hasn't been posted in

And apparently a small typo in the alt-text was fixed. "oi TI-BASIC" was changed to the correct "of TI-BASIC"

Oh, yes, that... *calcdude feels like ranting at TI again (inspired indirectly by an earlier reply)

So what is?  *calcdude is confused

Apparently yes, but please realize that it is illegal.

Just to repeat a couple things you are probably already aware of: This is extremely difficult, especially since a person who was really trying to be malicious could simply disassemble, slightly change, then reassemble the code, which would render your checks inoperable. As for RAM restore, realize that this can only be done on the 83+SE and older 84+(SE)'s, because newer ones (and any normal 83+) do not have the RAM required to backup the main 32KB of RAM. Anyway, ignore my skepticism and good luck!  (Do be aware of the reputation damage that could be done, though, like DJ said)

lol  And, random "I know too much about calcs" thing: Today's comic is no. 768, and 768 is the size of the screen buffer in bytes

Apparently the released models were present on ebay for a bit, but a quick search reveals nothing  446. You have unlocked the TI-80 for assembly 447. You used it to factor the Nspire key (in reality, this is possible, but will take an extremely long time)

the getkey->G was very inportant in my program because u would have it double check with getkey(...)
for example if i press left, down, and enter; it acts as if i were holding down +. This is actually the keyboard hardware's fault, and is unfixable. Basically, whenever you press three keys that make the corners of a box in the table on http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=83Plus:Ports:01, the fourth corner will be read as pressed. This is, as said above, unfixable, and if it's a problem, you'll need to use other keys that won't interfere with each other. (Also, less important, be aware that you can have multiple boxes, and that the falsely read corners can still act as corners for another box)

Being able to use other Axe programs as external libraries would definitely be useful, especially since the only real way to do it right now is to recall the library to the end of every program that needs it.
Compiling to Axioms would be nice too, since you could use tokens to call routines rather than using sub( a lot.

You forgot 100 100: You'd need a special keyboard made by TI to easily type lowercase letters and common symbols such as $,%,&, and # 101: Each of those characters would be two bytes, b/c the OS is token-based and those characters aren't important enough

Only IY is used by the OS, and SP is used pretty much everywhere (you need to preserve SP to use call, ret, push, and pop)
IY is actually the start of the OS flags, so you can use it by disabling interrupts then restoring it when done.
IX can be used by programs, and along with IY is an index register. They're called that because when using them indirectly, you can add a constant index (8-bit signed) to them, like "res 3,(ix+9)", which resets the third bit of the byte nine after IX.
The disadvantage to using them is that they are larger and slower. The instruction above is 4 bytes, while "res 3,(hl)", the equivalent version with hl instead of ix+9, is only 2.

That's good, seeing as there's no easy way to get around a worn out flash chip. Have fun with your new (for you ) 83+SE!

TI Screen Capture in TI-Connect can convert pretty much anything, provided you have your calculator attached to your comp. You just need to open the file in TI Screen Capture and send it to your calc, and send it back if you need it in .8xi form.
