Where exactly is the GETCERT.8xp file?

thepenguin77 linked to it in the first post:

First, download BrandonW's CertTools and send GETCERT.8xp to your calculator.

It's in there.

Yep, Deep Thought's got it. I linked to CertTools because it has both GETCERT.8xp and PUTCERT.8xp. That way you can do both.

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Newest version is here (though there's nothing wrong with this one)


This now works for 83+'s and 83+SE's. It worked fine on OS 1.03 and OS 1.19, so I assume it will work on anything. Although, if you run it on an 83+, it will clear ram instead of quitting, so just be prepared for that.

I also added in an option to view the certificate in Calcsys. Normally this is impossible because the certificate is only visible if flash is unlocked. So I JP'd to Calcsys with the flash unlocked. I'm not really sure this is useful for anything, but it wasn't very difficult. If you use it, just be sure you don't run AboutNam from a shell since it deallocates itself and that will create some problems.


One interesting thing that I figured out is that if you install the certificate revision, (it comes with the name remember), you can install any 83+/84+ OS on any 83+/84+ calculator. I don't expect that it will work well, but it will validate fine. It's worth a shot if you're bored.

I'll release the source to this and upload it to ticalc.org as soon as I update it again. (The update is already finished.) I just have to wait for a certain real world event to happen before I release it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry, you will soon. :D

You can add the DoorsCS header to make it not show up.

Awesome update! I'll probably apply this my 83+ now and I've already applied the old one to my 84+ SE.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I was wrong about the OS transferablility. You can't send 83+ OS's to the 84+, but aside from ethical reasons, there's no reason you can't put 2.55MP on your 83+.

Edit:
    I'm not sure there's even enough space to do that. Someone needs to try it.

I believe, that according to one of the Polypatch things (the one to put 84+ OS's on 83+'s) that any OS past 2.43 uses the extra RAM page that the regular 83+ is lacking. 2.55 would run on a 83+ SE most likely, but not on a 83+ BE.

EDIT:

Let's consider OSes 2.30-2.43:
Compared the the last TI-83+ OS, there is nothing new (except USB & clock support which are useless on a TI-83+).
So installing them is totally useless. You'll get nothing more, and might run into problems.


Let's consider OSes 2.53-2.55:
There is something new: MathPrint. Those ones are interesting.
But they want 48Kb or RAM. So there are instable on basic TI-83+ (RAM chip is only 32Kb).
They'll only work on TI-83+SE (RAM chips is 128Kb).

If anyone is interested in learning about the certificate, I've done a lot of work on wikiti.

Here is the general certificate / headers page, and here is this list of known fields.

Have fun learning?

Put some spaces in ;D. The about screen will display up to 48 characters, so use them.
