I got a suggestion: A menu option that molar mass and base conversion are always on.

That's actually not a bad idea. I made them the way they are because they used to interfere with basic programs, but now they shouldn't.

I have an addition to the line backup (the thing that happens when you press CLEAR): can you save the line when 2nd+ENTRY is used as well, as that replaces the current line?

I found a very specific glitch with editing archived programs. If you go to Memory Management/Delete ([2nd]+[Mem]+2) or the About screen([2nd]+[Mem]+1), and at either of those screens go directly to your program list, and try to edit an archived program, it will give you "ERR:ARCHIVED". I also had a friend confirm that the bug is on his calculator, too.

Another friend has a glitch(I don't know how to replicate) and when ZStart is installed, If he edits a program(archived or unarchived) it displays random tokens extremely fast, and crashes. When ZStart is uninstalled, it works just fine, but as soon as it's re-installed the glitch comes back. He is still having this glitch.

Do you have any other programs/apps installed?  What calc/os are you using?

I'm asking because I've been using zStart pretty much every day and I haven't run into glitches like these..

I use ZStart every day, too.
I use 2.53, and my calculator is a TI-84 SE. I have the ZStart OS mod, but that's it.
The 2nd problem was kind of random, we can't tell how to replicate it or anything, it just happens...

Confirmed on math-print os. I got around that by clearing several times ram and uninstalling/reinstalling the run on ram clear funktion and eventually it worked then.

And I have another suggestion: Don't block the self-test function :)

Believe it or not, that's actually not entirely a glitch. The zStart hooks only work at the homescreen, and those menus are actually different "contexts." You'll also notice that you can't edit stuff from the Y= menu or the graph screen. I'm really glad you pointed out the cause of this glitch, because I've run into it, but I'm not sure I have a clean fix for it.

Hmmm... That one is awkward, but to fix it, I'll have to be able to repeat it. I use 2.53 all day and I actually haven't seen this happen. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it, so you'll have to try to get me something repeatable. (Or, you can send (email/pm) me a wabbitemu savestate of the calculator in a situation where the glitch will occur. In any case, I need to get it to happen in my wabbitemu.)

I'd go out on a limb and say that no OS mods will cause crashes. Most OS mods are tiny little changes and not the kind of thing that would cause a crash. The zStart mod is only like 30 bytes in fact, and it's written to never crash. (Plus it only runs on ram clears.)

Well ever since updating my os from 2.53(modded) to 2.55, i have stopped having zstart caused ram clears completely.
When i say zstart caused, i am just saying when it is installed.
I updated my friend's calc too (TI-Over9000), and he doesn't have the problems anymore either.

Bug: when you copy/paste/restore tokens that axe replaces (Copy, Rect, Data, etc) they get changed to a Y# token.

Stuff already figured out on IRC, but I'll post it here for easy-to-find-ness or whatever the term is
 - only first token on the line
 - doesn't happen on all calcs

Feature request: have zStart work with Dr D'nar's Omnicalc
(More information about this version here.

That's not as straightforward as it would seem. I directly call like 5 places in omnicalc, so I'd have to add checks to all of those places as well as try to determine which version of omnicalc is installed, all of which would be quite a hassle.

So, my thought would be to try to modify 2.23 to work with zStart, it would actually be really simple to do it on a finished product. All you would have to do is go to the specific places I call and add a jump to the new location. I'll try to work on this, but it might be difficult.


Also, things I'm working on right now.
  • Instant Goto (this is for the next few)
  • Lbl's can be midline
  • Basic/Axe test run (You figure out what that means, but it relies on the instant goto, and you'll like it)
