Any news on fixing the Text(-1 bug?

The Solver++ freezes on my calc.

Oh, and sometimes, (seems to be when there's nothing on the screen otherwise) when I press up on the homescreen, the calc crashes.

x.x it fixed itself
Don't worry, it will come back :) I'd install the update if I were you.
Lol you're right, it came back when I re-sent it after validation fail :P

I've only had a brief look at the code, but it looks like when the hook is called in fracDrawLFont mode, you're trying to shift the font bitmap yourself.  Don't do that; you're supposed to return the normal bitmap to the OS, and the OS will shift it left for you.

Also, it looks like you're using OP1, which is a recipe for disaster if the hook is active while assembly programs are running.

Thanks. Text(-1 glitch fixed. I also backed up op1 to the stack and stopped writing to $8000, so that there won't be any conflicts. When I was writing that, I totally forgot about watching memory.

I guess the only reason it hasn't caused problems is that it only needs to be called once after: clearing the extra ram page, garbage collecting, or quitting zStart.

And a cool fact that I've never mentioned, the extra font will continue to work after you delete it. Just don't do any of that ^^

Edit:
    Solver++ doesn't work. So don't seriously try to use it, I just haven't deleted it because someday I might finish it.

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.

I tried Solver++ today and got BLOD the next time I went to run the app, so yeah. :P

I was wondering about the base conversions tho...like entering FFFFh returns 65535.  Is that a part of zStart?

Yeah, don't use solver++. I only partially implemented the lower screen. And it has some quitting problems.

Yes, the base conversion are part of zStart. And if you use them with omnicalc's ON+LOG, you can do math completely in another base.

The base conversion isn't working for me...I enter something like ABCDh and it returns a syntax error ???

To prevent Solver++ from being used, you could simply remove it from the menu.

Yeah, got it figured out, treating it the same as 2.55 (avoiding) :P

The base conversion still isn't working...it works in 2.43 right?
Tried it in wabbitemu and it still threw a syntax error, so something I'm doing or something that's happening is wrong..

Is there some special method to use it?

it is not working for me too.
I made a g(r)eek(y) font, attached. It is just for fun and not intended for casual users (but I know you arent hah :hyper:)

* Freyaday is very very happy.
Interestingly, inverse text with a font installed is the same speed as regular text, whereas it's much, much slower without. Interesting....

EDIT:
I ran an ASM program w/ custom fnt, changed the font, ran it again, and this happened.

Yes and no. On wabbitemu, you can't press any other keyboard buttons in addition to F12. So you need to hold +/- on the keyboard and click the ON button. You would never have this problem on a real calculator.

Also, I don't think that OFFSCRPT works on some older OS's. Like I saw a 2.20 at school, I have no idea where it came from, but it wouldn't run the OFFSCRPT. And after I updated it to 2.53, it worked perfectly.

Ok, so hold [+],[-] and [ON] instead of pressing enter?  so that's what I was missing...
EDIT: :/
EDIT2: I just read through the readme for the second or third time, and it isn't mentioned...I guess the question is how is it used?

I made a g(r)eek(y) font, attached.
* Darl181 doesn't see an attachment...;)

So after implementing ZTrumpet's idea with changing Degrees/radians, I realized I can make it a lot better.

Things I changed:
  • RawKey hook (chained to Omnicalc)
  • ON + [SIN] changes degrees/radians
  • ON + [-] molar mass calculator
  • ON + [ + ] base conversion
  • ON + [ENTER] restore zStart settings
  • OFFSCRPT is only used if you have a picture


So what does this mean to you? As soon as Kerm fixes a hook chaining bug, (hook only chains on first DCS run,) everything but the picture on startup will be fully DCS compatible.

Also, there sure are a lot of buttons on that calculator... Anyone have any cool ideas?


Edit:
    A key combo to compile an Axe program would be cool, of course I'd have to get some cooperation from Quigibo. Just edit the program, and press [ON] + <some key>
