Ticalc is the newest one. Well, actually, they're the same. :P

They looked different. The one I got from here said
Space.8xk (4 pages) was  successfully generated!
The one at ticalc said
Pass one...
Pass two...
done.
What does the 4 pages mean, anyways?

Each page is 16384 bytes (16KB) large. APPs have to be a multiple of that number of bytes.

And Alpha 0.0.3 has been released a couple weeks ago on ticalc (the topic got sort of ignored though)

So, what happens if it isn't a multiple of that?

The rest is left unused. This is due to the way the memory is laid out on the calculator (in pages). The Game Boy had a similar system.

I just wish that the ram pages are still there in newer 84+SE, just not documented or whatever, and that TI didn't just throw out the extra ram pages when switching the chip. I wanna play the games so bad!!!!

So, there's less RAM in the newer calculators? I got that there's something different about the RAM in the newer ones, but I don't quite understand what it is. Are the older ones better over all, or just for using the emulator?

The newer ones seem to have less RAM, however we're not completely sure yet. But only programs that try to use this extra RAM should be affected, like TI-Boy and Realsound. Otherwise these calculators seem to be just fine.

I heard that the newer calcs are slightly (like 0.2 MHz) faster, or something like that in one of the posts where it compared each hardware versions and such.

You mentioned  the last letter of the serial number that has enough RAM to run it. Which kind of calculator is that for? The 83, 83+, 84+, or 84+SE? Or is it the same for all of them? I'm getting an 84+SE, providing I can find a good one. I'll probably have to look on EBAY for one.

BTW, on your F-Zero game, do you use a tiling system to make the maps (/tracks)? That would sound like the best way to save space. ~I love the 3D engine.

This applies to 84+ and 84+SE. However, the TI-83 and TI-83+ never had that RAM in the first place, so TI-boy won't work on them.

And I do use tiles in F-Zero. :)

If you use a tiling system, it might be easy to make a level editor for people to make their own tracks. Is that a possibility? Could you give a rough time estimate as to when it will be done? It looks really cool!

So many cool things have been developed in the past couple of months. Right now I'm reading in to what the key signing thing is. It sounds cool, but I don't understand it. ^^ I'm trying to catch up on all this stuff.

I think it might be easy, but I think it will come after game is finished, like with Project M. It would be cool, though, altough I wonder if it would work well with the computer AI, though?

As for calc dev, it seems the community is doing some sort of comeback this year in terms of releases and awesome projects. The last time I saw 5 programs featured in one month on Ticalc.org is in October 2004, during the calc craze caused by the TI-84+/89T release

I liked the Chip's Challenge game for the 83. Everybody in my school remembers playing that game in our free time in the computer lab. But they don't have it there any more. So now I'm giving it to everybody. They love it!

Say, do you think there would be any way to turn my NSpire OS into an actual 84? And what exactly is involved in making something work on the NSpire, like F-Zero? And why do some things work just fine?

The TI-Nspire alerady has 84+ mode. Just swap the keyboards (it comes with the TI-Nspire keyboard and a TI-84+ one, unless you got scammed) and then your TI-Nspire becomes a TI-84+. It's what I used to make my game Illusiat 13 which I still haven't finished. Some stuff will not work fine or require patches, though, as it's just like a TI-84+ emulator
