News / Re: OS 3.2 announced for this Spring

Well, the new features looks pretty great, but always remember to pass your upgrade file through TNOC before installing it.

Note that this trick which is very usefull on classic Nspire won't help with downgrading CX Nspire at all.

Without Ndless, to my knowledge it's impossible to bypass the OS downgrade protection.

Also one thing I liked about the 81 is how when you used STO> it automatically turned ALPHA on so you don't have to manually press it to type a letter afterward.

Yes - The TI-85 used to do that too. :)

I'm happy to tell you that the rare TI-81 1.5K ROM has been dumped, and saved from being lost forever.

Many thanks to the person who sent me the calculator, and to Floppus Maximus who performed the OCR on the videos I've been recording for hours.



Unfortunately, as it is not a v2 ROM, it cannot be added to the TI-Planet online TI-81 emulator :(.

But you can use it directly with WabbitEmu.

Not only "some" teachers, DJ_O.

Depening upon the school, the CAS+ weren't lent to the teacher, but to the students who could take them home and everything.

A solution can probably be found after we've been able to dump the CAS+ Boot1 / Boot2 / OS.

But as far as we could try, the CAS+ seemed to be pretty well protected, and only a harware-dumping method seemed to be possible without knowing more on the OS.

Yes to both questions, software downloaded and installed, and all usb devices working great.
You could possibly send this fun calc to critor for analysis... ;)
If you do decide to ship it to critor, he will likely pay the shipping for you, and maybe (tentatively :P) give you money for a new one :P
Still don't know if you are talking seriously or not.. :P

According to the eBay photo, it's one of the CAS+ prototypes that were massively evaluated in schools in 2006-2007.
I don't need this calculator - it's nothing like rare.

TI Cares answered this morning:
"Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments.

By looking at the provided serial number and the name of your model i can verify that you have a prototype calculator. Unfortunately this means that there's no way of enabling connectivity to transfer files or update the operating system. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and if you should have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me again. Thank you and have a nice day!"

Seems I should resign. :(


Wrong, connectivity to transfer CAS+ files works perfectly with the software I linked you.
When I say TI-Cares is not accurate and doesn't know what they are speaking of...

Last year, TI-Cares answered that for 80$, they could exchange you the prototype for a production model.
You should ask them about that.


Well, as a calc it should run just fine.

Why do you need to transfer files to and from the pc? There's not much to do with them once they're there, and there aren't any I'm aware of that you would send to the calc.
I have some files by a friend's Texas Calculator that I would like to have on mine.

If it's not a CAS+ calculator, there is currently no way, more than 5 years after the CAS+ evaluation.
And it's unlikely that there will be such a possibility in the near future.



*UPDATE*
I did it!
On XP, the TI-Nspire was recognized as unknown driver, so I just update the calc's driver following these steps.
Now, that linking software posted before is working properly and I'm able to put stuff on and from the calculator.
Thank you so much everybody! :D

You see that TI-Cares was wrong! :P

Has Ndless been created for that OS by the way? Of course new Ndless programs were created for newer versions, though, but I'm just wondering in case.

Apart the fact from discovering that TI-Nspire CAS+ & TI-Phoenix were the same thing, nothing interesting has been achieved on those models yet.

No flashing, no dumping, and no ndlessing... :(

I'm not very interested in staying with the old OS, i just need to share files between the calculator and pc. Is it possible?

Yes, but only files generated with a TI-Nspire CAS+ handheld/software.


Meaning that you won't be able to open 99% of TI-Nspire files available on the Internet.


You should contact TI-Cares and see if they can do something for you.

You've bought an unfinished prototype which is "not for sale" as written on the back.

TiLP won't work with a CAS+.

You need an old TI-Nspire Computer Link Version: 1.0.59
http://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=1439


It has an update menu, but it's totally useless as no CAS+ OS has ever been released publicly by TI, and no CAS+ ROM has ever been dumped up to now.

You won't be able to update and have to stay with that awfull 1.0 OS.


Hope it wasn't expensive...

Great you could make that video so fast! :)


Unfortunately, seems 30mins weren't enough. Seems your TI-81 is running the dumper slower than mine...

The 4 first charaters on the left encode the ROM address.
The dumping is finished when you alphabetically cross LAAA.


So could you make a last attempt and let the dumping program run for something like a hour?
Thanks.

837
Hum...

Can you give us the Boot1 / Boot2 versions?
They should be available under tools/informations once you've connected your unit.

838
You can update to 3.1 from every non-TNOCed version 1.4 and above.
But TI support is not known for its accuracy.

Technically, you can directly update to 3.1 if you have boot2 1.4 or later.


Are you using TI-Nspire Computer Link ?

critor, how long do you estimate the video length to be?

Half an hour should be more than enough :)

So your emulator can load all 37 programs required to play Illusiat, but what about matrices? There's 2 matrices you have to type out as well and I think there's no file format for them.

We could still figure out what would have been a 81M file format.

81P is just the equivalent of 82P/83P/8XP/85P/86P.
In those formats you have a small header with program size and name, and after that the raw data which has to be written to the RAM.
