I've now played around a bit with this bigger image and made a Nspire-'book' of it (895x525 so it should still fit on a netbook-screen, and the LCD is original size).
Not really a piece of art but just for fun, I'm sure you'll make a much prettier skin.

Please find in the following, a first release with your skin and some small touches of mine: http://www.filedropper.com/spirohv21
A bit larger than usual, because the .rar contains a screenshot and also the .exe grew in size (roughly doubled) due to the embbeded skin.

I'm just curious: how did you make those diagonal cursors work so much better than the other 4 usual directions?
And won't it be possible to use the same method also for those normal 4 cursors to get smoother and faster movements?

yeah, I think it should be possible, but some days ago i tried to implement it and the result wasn't very good. So, I put it on standby. I'll need to spend more time on it.
In short, we have to change the way the emulator implements with the touchpad device, and that's too technical i'm afraid. Be patient, things aren't that bad.

Cheers,

Thanks SpiroH, it's now really looking well!
BTW, the only glitch I found is that this v21 doesn't remember its screen position anymore, maybe it's because you've used again a new registry entry (5.0) and haven't updated all your calls to this entry!?

Oops, i just commented out that piece of code while adjusting for the new skin, and as it was getting too late i simply did not put it back (it happens

).
So here you go: http://www.filedropper.com/spirohv212 (now only the exe, no shot).

Have a nice holiday (I hope it's a holiday too today in your country),

Yes, it's a religious holiday here too 'Corpus Christi'.

Hope 'my small touches' don't upset you too much,

Hi Franz,
Sorry but i've been (and will be) somewhat busy. I'll try answer some of queries.

1. My country of birth and where i'm living right now is Portugal (i've lived abroad for some years, though).
2. I've changed a bit the 'logger' window, see if you like it better. Although it was never meant to be used in a netbook, in the first place!? IMO, some tasks you're simply not able to do them in a netbook, period!
3. There's no need at all to change the default flash_file_name. Actually, it can be 'AnyNameYouWant'. That will take precedence over any other default name. I guess, previouses versions weren't behaving exactly in this way. That was a bug, hope is fixed it now.
4. I will not comment much on your upx-hacking-diversions. No, there's no protection what so ever. Ask me and i'll be happy to help.
5. Finally, i've also tried a new look for the skin, based on some of your ideas. The overall size is smaller (~780x500) (good for netbookers!) and besides i get back my missed toolbar

.

Here you go:

Hope to hear from you,

PS: I've also tried the new(?) os 3.2, and I did ALL OS install operations using SpiroH, no need to use nspire_emu to create a flash_file

Waiting for Ndless 3.2 to extract Boot1.img from OS 3.2.

The Boot1 image is not related to the OS, it is built into the calculator. If you dumped one from your calculator already, that's all you need.

SpiroH your new Skins are awesome. I like the menubar above the nspire keyboard

Also the "book" version looks really nice. It's my favorite. *thumps up*
The only thing that doesn't work are the arrow keys in gbc4nspire and mviewer. I didn't test any other.

thanks for your great work and going on

I've been trying to get this running as per this post, but I can't find out how to make the boot1.raw. I have the boot1.img from polydumper (just took off the .tns), but neither 7zip nor imgdump have any idea what to do with it (while opening boot2.img the same way works fine). As far as I can tell there are basically no directions related to this anywhere.

How do I make/get the .raw?

Edit: copied syntax from cmd:
F:\calc\nspire\nspire_emu>nspire_emu.exe /1=boot1.raw /MX /PB=boot2.img /PO=TI-NspireCX-3.1.0.392.tco

Rename boot1.img to boot1.raw

Darl181 · « **Reply #98 on:** June 09, 2012, 09:19:56 pm »

So all that's needed is a re-name? Odd that it wouldn't work with what's basically the same thing...
Anyways, it's working. I think it might have been working before, tho..? b/c the black and white boot-up screen is the same as before (it was kind of misleading, I thought something had gone wrong so I closed it

).

They work just fine with me!? Are you using the correct versions for cx? Proof:

mviewer_cx:

Since the cx release these utilities had to be updated. Try the links below, maybe they will help out.

Code: [Select]

nspire_emu.exe /1=boot1.img /MX /PB=boot2.img /PO=TI-NspireCX-3.1.0.392.tcoWorks fine

SpiroH:
I'm really sorry. I tested it again and it works

I have to say that every time it looks nicer and nicer.

Adriweb · « **Reply #103 on:** June 12, 2012, 04:26:37 am »

Indeed, congratulations.

However, I was wondering : for any update of nspire_emu, will it be "easy" enough for you to adapt your code to use the new nspire_emu ?
