Best, then ;)

I suggest making a framework for patching TI's OS, similar to the one I made for patching TI's TI-68k OS (tiosmod+amspatch, ticalc.org POTY 2010 in the "PC utilities" category - but well, it was the only contender :D). That will ease the making of patches.

Of course ;)
The note was more aimed at mikehill than at you, because he was asking for the uncompressed size of phoenix.raw.
Thanks :)
You do need to know the approximate size of the OS to dump it right? Or do you just dump an extra 2mb and clean it after checking for code?

And OSLauncher works great in the emulator with OS1.7, it just has never worked on my nspire. (I haven't tested it in the emulator with OS2.0.1 because I haven't dumped it yet.)

Also, is there a way to directly dump the RAM of the emulator? I can do it fine with an ndless program, but I haven't figured out how to get that dump out of the nand image.

I apologize if some of these questions have obvious answers, but I have been quite busy with other projects recently. (One of which I may post a video of here soon [iOS 3D game, both 3D as in rendered scenes and 3D as in red/blue glasses required]:D)

Edit: compu, you have the same nspire model as I do....Now I'm really confused.

Wow, I didn't think of that... I can't test it so I don't know, but it easily could, so I guess be careful.

Note that unlike tiosmod+amspatch, which cannot easily run on the TI-68k calculator because amspatch is turning 0 bits back to 1 (which, in Flash memory, requires erasing a whole sector), a patcher/patchset pair for Phoenix could easily run on the Nspire (CAS) calculator, and fiddle with either the host OS or the one that is currently being force launched, as the OS is executed from RAM :)

I have tried to make an on-calc patcher, but it seems that a hot reboot is necessary and I fail at using your code, the emulator hangs at "Launching system..." always. :banghead:
You do need to know the approximate size of the OS to dump it right? Or do you just dump an extra 2mb and clean it after checking for code?
I'm using another method to get dumps (with GDB, described on yAronet), I can post it here again if you want to.
Also, is there a way to directly dump the RAM of the emulator? I can do it fine with an ndless program, but I haven't figured out how to get that dump out of the nand image.
Emulation -> Enter debugger
w <output file> <start address> <size>

Touchpad non-CAS, but I'm using a clickpad most of the time ;)

:banghead: Does it work with the touchpad? (I don't have a clickpad to test.)

Worked at first try.
Are you using the latest ndless installer? Might be the reason.

Yes, r387... I just re-downloaded ndless and OSLauncher, am dumping the 2.0.1 non-cas OS and will try with everything fresh in a few minutes.
Thanks for all the help.

So, theoretically with this you could back up your 84+ ROM images, on the same calc!

I'm playing around with this on an emulator, and I see tons of "document" in an hex editor of a 2.0 ROM,
like "documents/MyLib/numtheory.tns", "documents/SD", etc. Which one is it?

Does OSLauncher work for you in the emulator? The "Documents" you need to remove is at 0x6807F8
