Official TI-Boy SE Beta Thread

Maybe he is pessimist (like me) and prefers not saying anything and present people a great surprise when the project is done rather than bragging that he is working and disappoint everyone with long ETAs or finally unfinished projects (even though he won't disappoint anyone, maybe that's what he thinks).

Well, I have a small amount of work done with a new tilemap renderer, but for now the project is stalled until we get a robust CSE emulator up and running (since TI-Boy is something that's practically impossible to debug on actual hardware).

Wow so you do have plans to bring it to the 84C?! Awesome .

Sounds great! Will it be size x1 or x2 or what?

Edit: I think that this is my 500th post (could be my 501st though).

x1 is definitely planned, x2 horizontal with x1.67 vertical is theoretically possible but would be slower and a bit more trouble. Hopefully I can include both options, though.

keep up the good work calc! (and thx for responding) 

I will await the release.

Wha, TI-Boy for the CSE....just awesome

[calc84maniac]

Since I've had TI-Boy on my mind lately, I decided to finally release a TI-Boy SE Beta 0.2.04 (which will also be uploaded to ticalc.org). I put in a couple of small bugfixes that I found when working on TI-Boy CSE, but more importantly, the makeapp program is now standalone! It doesn't need an external rabbitsign.exe or tiboy.bin, and it also (probably) won't set off any antivirus programs anymore. Oh, and I also included the Adjustris homebrew ROM that I had in the old Alpha version, so I can stick to ticalc's standards of having an actual APP to put in the 84+ games section.

Thanks!

* pimathbrainiac converts all teh pokemans!

[TIfanx1999]

Very nice!

[DJ Omnimaga]

Good to hear

This is worse, let me just say.

I first tried to convert a (working) European version of Monopoly for Gameboy (I checked, and it's not GBC or GBA), and even though you said that the "page beginning with FFh" glitch was fixed, 3 pages of the app began with FFh, and it froze at the splash screen.

Then, I tried playing the game included, "Adjstris". It showed the splash screen for only a small fraction of a second, then it cleared the RAM.

(I tested these in Wabbitemu, BTW, with OS 2.43)

[DJ Omnimaga]

Have you tried on a real 84+/SE calc? WabbitEmu sometimes have troubles, especially with apps.

[JWinslow23]

Never mind; must be a Wabbitemu glitch.

* Streetwalrus mumbles something about BootFree being incompatible

You need an actual ROM dump to use TI-Boy in Wabbit as it requires proper boot code to run.
