Casio Calculators / Re: The Inside of a Casio Prizm

Could you also add to the C development tutorial Kristaba started earlier. There isn't enough detail to show how to set up your Prizm coding environment.

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the series where all that 42/towels nonsense came about), Arthur Dent finds that the Ultimate Question that led to the Ultimate Answer of Life, the Universe, and Everything seems to be "what do you get when you multiply six by nine".
It was originally 42, but then Arthur Dent removed a scrabble piece so that early humans could no longer spell 42. So it then became 54

@Simon Lothar I have a question. Where do you get this program http://ourl.ca/8207/177640 ???

TI Z80 / Re: Alex's TI-84+SE --> DMX512 control program

How are you connecting the usb to the light control. It seems like that would take the most effort to set up. Also did you ever think of porting this to axe. With a similar syntax to basic but insanely higher speeds you could get a better framerate.

So it must be an orthographic perspective. What formula are you using btw because those matrices slow you down unless there is hardware support for them like directx.

1+2+3+4...=-1/12

Remind me again how this can be even remotely possible?  There seems to be no way to get that to work O.O
It seems that you have forgotten that when numbers exceed 32,767 they return to -32,768, therefore allowing a sequence of 1+2+3+4.... to be less than 1. ;)

And about the what the Prizm can handle. We are only limited in what we are able to code. If I want to code a gbc emulator then I will make one and I'm sure the Prizm could easily handle that.

Who says we need support from Casio. All they did was make the calc. We though will write all the games, functions, routines, and an sdk. We certainly don't need Casio to provide all this support for us, we will just do it ourselves. And if you really need calculus I will code an app just for you   ;)

Well i dont think the prizm has the hardware to back up powerful enough programs even with a lot of community support. There is someone no matter what TI does that will crack eventually whatever protection they put on there. they should just cut their losses and time and just allow c and asm support

and the prizm just isnt high powered enough in my opinion. the nspire cas blows it out of the water and now with the cx, I am not sure how casio can still compete with the Nspire. I dont think the programmers base though will move to the prizm, the hacks on the nspire now are better than most if not all the games developers have put on the prizms... I think either way TI wins, at least in the US
There are a couple of things to keep in mind first. The Casio Prizm has only been out for just over 2 months now. The nspire though came out in 2007. Before Prizm programmers like me could even get started writing games we had to first document the hardware and the OS. Now we have documented many of the system calls and even have a C enviroment up now. With the hardware the CX has an upperhand on the memory I must admit, but speed is actually more equal than you think. The arm proc the nspire uses has a higher frequency than the Prizm's SH3, but the clock cycles for instructions are greater which causes slow downs.

btw: it seems like you are new here. welcome on the forums.  ;D

I thought it would also be a good idea to post your school hours. For me on a regular day school starts at 7:40 and goes to 2:27. We have 6 classes each 57 minutes. I don't get home till 5:00 because of sports though.

Casio Calculators / Re: Prizm almost sold out here in Germany

Has anyone noticed that on Casio's Japan website they do not sell any graphing calcs. I wonder if graphing calculators can't be used in Japanese schools.They do sell scientific calcs though.

Casio Calculators / Re: Secret debug menu
« on: March 02, 2011, 02:39:24 am »
Same way that the other menu is accessed. hold down optn + EXp + AC/On until the diagnostic menu comes up, then press F1 then 9. I will post of video of all the tests.

Edit: service ID is tVQZJKr2

Considering TI is so much against dev on their calcs. Why do they place so much ram on the CX. I doubt the OS even uses a quarter of it at max.
