Lol I don't think so. :P But it's a full fledged graphing calc so...

Hmmm... The TI-80 isn't a z80 calc. :P

whoops... well, no Houston Tracker for TI80, then. XD
980 KHz doesn't sound so bad... just about same speed as a PAL C64, actually. Depends on how efficient the m'code implementation is, really.

Managed to compile a 73 version. Would anybody care to test it? DJ maybe?
I'm quite surprised that the 73 actually has much more user RAM than the 83+. Whatwheretheythinking.

Still struggling with the 82CS version. Is it true that in OS 19.006 link port output values were changed to match the 83+ ones?

As long as it has samples included I can give it a go later today. :)

*Edit* Fixed a silly spelling error.

There are no samples included. Just enter "01 02 03 FF" in the first column, "40 40 40" in the second column, and "A0 A0 A0" in the third one. If you hear 3 different percussive sounds together with 2 (more or less) constant tones in all 3 engines, then all should be good.

Ok, so I'm upgrading the OS at the moment (the one on there currently is outdated) so I can test this thing. Should get back to you soon.
*edit* I got the OS updated, but TIconnect hates Mallard (the program required to run assembly programs) and I can't seem to get it to send with TILP either. :/ I have the tracker on the calc, but no way to execute it at the moment. :/

I think BrandonW was working to fix that TI-Connect issue a few days ago, but I am not sure what happened to it. IIRC the idea was to just make the shell an APP. As for TI-Connect, does it happen only with TI-Connect 4.0 or did it happen with 1.16.1 too?

As for the TI-80 I think drawing speed was about as fast as on the Casio PRIZM. It could still be used for some games, but they were as limited as the TI-81 and much slower. Also they looked like crap because the screen is 64x48 pixels large instead of 96x64.

After taking a break to take care of my personal life I'm now working on HT again. And more importantly, I've finally gotten around to publishing the source code.

I didn't clean up yet so the code is a bit of a mess. Also I'm a complete n00b in regards to git and version control in general, so please excuse me if not everything is set up correctly. Namely the formatting is screwed up right now, thanks to github forcing LF line endings. I'll fix this with the next commit.
