A pendrive or a smart drive (a usb mass storage device) goes for pretty cheap now. You can get a 1GB smart drive for no more than $6-$80 dollars and often cheaper with rebates and such.

I just saw an 8GB USB drive at Fry's for $79. O_Oshocked2.gif

Ranman saves the day! I would have never thought to unplug the bios jumpers and the video card, plug everything back in and start it up.

My computer lives!!! Muhahahaha.

yay!! that was a simple solution o.oblink.gif

btw, does it have to be U3 or w/e or can you run programs off of regular 2.0 ones?

Yes, you can run programs from 2.0 smart drives.

EDIT:

I'll be revising the whole level set over the next few days to make sure everything is reasonable but not too easy. Plus there are a few things that irked me about some of the levels, so I'm going to change those things.

Lots of optimization to do...

how fast does it run approximately btw? (if there's a way to calculate FPS in TI-89 C)

It runs pretty fast, so I'm guessing whilst not fighting enemies it'd be between 12-24 FPS. While fighting enemies, 8-16 FPS.

It never really lags excessively, but this depends also on whether you are using an 89t and 89 or a 92+.

Plus these are just estimates. There is a way to calculate the FPS within the FAT engine, I just don't know how. I could look it up and see if I could get some real data for you, but right now, all I can tell you is a broad estimate based on frame rates I saw in a FAT engine demo somewhere along the lines and the relative speed that went along with that.

Wow that is, as fast, and faster than, the FAT engine examples run at o.oblink.gif

It really depends on the calculator and also what part of the game you are at. The reason it runs faster is because I'm using a very new build of the FAT engine. I think it's the most current one, and the lookup tables and other such things have been optimized greatly. As for the specific FPS, I couldn't tell you really. It runs about as fast as Oblivion does on an 89T. Somewhere around there.

I'll try and figure out how to diagnose the FPS rate.

welcome back atg :)smile.gif If it run as fast as oblivion its awesome! For me as long as it's above 8 FPS (half the speed of Gemini 3D on the TI-83+) I'm fine :)smile.gif

Thanks DJ, I know I haven't been around much... School, Doom89, etc...

Cool deal. Btw I just received the Ti-92+ I won on eBay and I am going to start testing the speed/memory usage on that as well. (It's awesome! It's all pretty, the guy who owned it before really took care of it. Slide case and everything, plus an original guidebook :)smile.gif )

Update: Doom89 runs at nearly the same speed on a 92+ as it does on an 89T.

I'm liking this large screen and keyboard thing. :)smile.gif

good to hear :)smile.gif

btw on the 92+ do you think it would be easy to do some kind of dual joystick (with keys of course) like in newest fpses? One for straffing/moving forward/backwards and another for moving camera up/down and turn left/right
