That can work inside Output(?

You seem to always find a solution to everything I post. Could you actually post your entire source code on how to display STO character inside a BASIC program on the home screen?

EDIT: Actually that works, thanks. I have bad memories about Equ>String, though O.O (See the TI-OS glitches section)

actually, you have to have the " and/or -> already in a string var, then you can treat it just like a normal string. Any other way = syntax error. So yeah you have to include the string var with your program.

MathPrint OSes are just a bunch of glitches.  >:(

Hey! thats not true! take it back! where would we be without fnInt(, remainder(, randintnorep(, fractions, and the ability to scroll up and delete your previous entries (not to mention the CLASSIC token/mode :P)?  TI could've just made the OS ALL mathprint, after all... no mode setting to go back.

Wow. When I put it that way, it makes me almost LIKE TI O.O

My TI-94+SE is broken.  I used some flawed existential conditioning on it, and it crashed. :(

Activity level:

Spoiler For Securite:

A couple security flaws
Need a good backdoor short of reinstalling the OS
Completely immobilized and invalidated by Zstart. And rendered incompatible.
Spoiler For FFTATIA:

framework: mostly done
graphics engine: undergoing complete rewrite
still need character and enemy sprites!!! :P

Yeah but the issue with MathPrint is that it breaks compatibility with old BASIC programs sometimes, some ASM programs, is not as stable and MathPrint mode is very slow. Try to scroll down the Y= menu, for example. To run any homescreen BASIC game, you have to disable MathPrint, else the game run 60% slower.

MathPrint is great in a math point of view, but in a TI community development point of view, it's a nightmare. KermMartian spent days trying to make Doors CS 7.1 OS 2.53 MP compatible...

Also I rated down your post because it was rude. If you're a OS 2.53 MP fanboy, it doesn't mean you have to attack others that dislike it, especially considering they have huge reasons to dislike it, like you have reasons to like it.

Yeah but actually MathPrint at least doesn't have that one Equ>String glitch I mentionned.

Um, exactly where we were before mathprint :P

I wish TI just copied MathPrint from the TI-73 and implemented it on the 83+ and 84+ and added the ability to disable it. On the 73 it runs very fast, even faster than on the 84+, even if it's a slower processor.
