There's a big bug with the Mathprint division thing, which most of the time crashes my calculator and some other times divide the screen into half, and the cursor blinks at the middle while everything else fill in the upper half of the screen. It's like you have Horiz on but worse. This bug only happens with Alpha F1, n/d, both in Mathrpint mode and in CLASSIC mode. Other Mathprint stuff is fine.

This is Mathprint's fault. I also have that bug even though I don't use zStart.

EDIT: I now use zStart

Yeah, this is actually hardware related, though, we're really not sure how. What's the serial number on the back of your calculator? Somehow Ti messed up pretty bad.

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.

The run on home option appears to break the Basic Menu( command. It always gives Label errors even if the label is valid.
I also have this bug, plus two other ones :/:
Phoenix IV doesn't want to launch, sometimes. It freezes the calc, or displays the ship and all then freezes or just shut down the calc (it even shut it down without making RAM cleared, once). Removing "Stats wizard" made it work well then it screwed up back ???. It is a MirageOS prog and I set DoorsCS as the shell option, if that helps resolving the problem.
Also, the displayed pic at the beginning worked well until yesterday: the contrast was not set right and the "top of the screen" was at 1/3 from the top, until I Ram clear.

Don't worry, this is still a great work you have done ;D

Oh no wonder phoenix would not run!

Yeah, I know, I need to let them accumulate a little. I want 1.3.001 to fix all the bugs.

I'm not sure what's going on there. Phoenix works for me with DCS. Do you have the latest DCS? This is Pheonix 4.0 By Patrick Davidson correct?

That's really strange. One thing it could be is that your More>Hardware>Get Delay is set way too low, but that's probably not it. Since you have two strange errors, trying deleting the appVar and starting fresh. Maybe something weird happened to it.

I use DCS 7.1.1, I think (according to the readme). And yes, it is that Phoenix.

You could do 1.3.000.01 :P

Krolyto doesn't work at all like Omnicalc, it doesn't keep an appvar
It keeps a hidden appvar. How else could it store information?

In the program edit list, if you press a number key to edit an archived program, it gives err:archived. You have to select with enter to edit archived programs. Don't know if this is a bug or not.

I'm still having troubles with the label menu...only things installed are Axe, omnicalc thru zStart, and zStart itself.

Running archived source program from homescreen then opening up the label menu starts it, then when you go to scroll around it does fun stuff :P
(noting that opening it from the edit menu does not glitch)

I know about that, it's fixable, I just might not have the space. The reason why it doesn't work though is absolutely not a glitch, it's just a feature not supported that you would assume is ;D

Hmm... This is probably an indirect glitch caused by not opening the program editor properly. I'm not exactly sure what causes it yet, but I'll try to figure it out.

I've also noticed that if I recall a string into a program, and open the label menu and jump to another label and try to scroll to another part of the program, the cursor moves off-screen and my calculator ensuingly crashes.


Spoiler For Projects:

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.

Feature Request:
A catche of older versions of the program you're currently editing in the archive.  This would be cleared every time you GarbageCollect, but it'd still be nice in case you completely screw up the program you're editing and would like to go back to a previous version of it.

Ooooh, i'd like that. I've done that loads of times. Could there be an option to have them stored as appvars?

Probably related to the previous problem. Something strange must happen to the edit buffer.

That's not that hard to do, though, it will have to wait for me to go multi page.

;D I don't think you quite understood exactly why zTrumpet's was possible. Every time you unarchive something, it isn't actually deleted from flash, the deleted program just sits there. zTrumpet wants a program that shows you all of those deleted programs. What you are asking would quickly fill up your archive with appvars and not only would you garbage collect twice as fast as usual, after each garbage collect, you'd only have 1/2 the memory you had the previous time. This would continue until you are out of space, then you'd have to do some major deleting.
