Unfortunately, several of the most popular ideas not only don't work, but would violate the laws of physics. What do they do? Make perpetual motion machines?

Edit2:
This also means that standardization of OFFSCRPTs is fundamentally impossible. (Or just really really ugly, glitchy, and hacky)
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Somebody should have come up with a standard earlier. Now, it is too hard. Is there still time to make an ONSCRPT standard? (How many programs use it?)

The problem with standards is often that no one adopts them. How would a new standard work and not break compatibility with the old "standard?"
EDIT: Also, how many programs really need to be run at startup or shutdown?
There really is not an old "standard." It's pretty much the wild west for OFFSCRIPT. New improvements on the protocol will be backwards compatible with the proposed standard. If I released the source code and made an Axiom that uses this standard, it will become easier for programmers to use OFFSCRIPT.

OFFSCRIPT is a very useful feature of the TI-83 Plus OS, but it is a source of conflict for many shells and start-up programs.
I propose that we make a standard OFFSCRIPT that allows for the calling of multiple programs.
The standard should include a table of programs and apps to be executed. The table should include the App/Program name, entry point, priority (programs with a lower priority byte will be executed first), and flags for other various entry settings.
With an implementation of an OFFSCRIPT standard, contribution of ideas, consensus, and cooperation, new opportunities would open up to assembly programmers, and more programs could be run without incompatibilities.

thanks for the welcome, sorry for the double post, its a topic i am somewhat passionate about (is it wrong for a 40 year old college student to still love video games?)
back in the arcade days I also used to love Joust, but having gone back and played it more recently on a console I know longer have any idea why. there was another arcade game I cant remember the name of, I want to say Robotron followed by a future year.....it was in the grafics style of astroids or battlezone but it was you clearing mazes full of robots with a gun (think pac man but with guns instead of chasing and eating)...anyway loved that one back in the day too.
Do you mean Berzerk? Berzerk is my favorite arcade game.  It was so advanced with its voice-synthesizing chip. "Chicken, fight like a robot!"

Wow! That's awesome! How did he figure out the ASM opcodes?

Is that even possible?
Probably not.  You can't get too much hardware control with BASIC

Thanks! Making an OS would be so much easier since the hardware initialization routines are in one place.  I've always wanted to make rst routines...

For some reason, hearing the words BLASTER and MASTER makes me think about Megaman lol
Well, they're both revolutionary games that pushed the NES to its limit.

Also, it's "nit-picky", not "knit-picky" 
Nice. Joke is on me.

Speaking of English, the title should say, "How many English words do you know?" I know it's really knit-picky.

I've also had very weird token changes in my program's name. The last characters changed into an ">", but the program still ran fine.
