Re: zStart - an app that runs on ram clears

I have another bug (is that a bug ? because I like this one :P):
When the calc hits a bug, it turns off, then Ram Clears when turning on.
BUT, if when turning on I keep [Clear] pressed, strange things happen:
-The prog that should run on Ram clears does not launch
-The contrast is not set off
-In fact, everything is like zStart is not installed (no hooks working)
-There is no program in the program Menu
-Launching an app causes crash, and to Ram Clear, and to get everything back to normal ??? (except if I keep [Clear] pressed again)
I've read a part of the readme and it says like everywhere a million times(:P) that while rebooting and pressing [Clear] zStart won't be installed. So no, it isn't a bug. :)
Ok, but why do the programs disappear, and why does running an app cause Ram Clear, and why does programs appears back after Ram Clear ? ???

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

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.

Yeah, I saw it right after :D
I might read those combinations as well, to not accuse zStart for nothing >.>

May I ask why actually you were holding clear?

Lol, that actually is a good question. I set a program to run on Ram Clears, and that program is a program that display a :trollface: until you press a key :P. And I am used to use Clear to quit progs, so I kept Clear pressed when Ram clearing so that the :trollface: doesn't show up :P

I'm working on the next update, which means reading back through all the pages since the last update, but I've reached a problem. I added keyhooks to run MirageOS and DCS, but the DCS hook uses Prgm, this means that my Copy function can't use Prgm as well.

So, now that 2nd, Mode, Del, Alpha, Stat, Apps, Prgm, Vars, Clear,  ^, and Enter are all taken, what should I assign Copy too? (I can't capture 2nd/Alpha, Mode is used by Omnicalc, and Clear is well, duh)

Btw, if no one provides a better response, it will be +. (Though + replaces a character if the hook is not active, something to think about)

I think On + + is the best option.  What would it replace?  (I forgot D: )

Nothing, ON + + is base conversion at the homescreen, but it's undefined in the program editor.

Ah, okay.  Cool.
Wouldn't this be epic?  Is it possible from zStart's end?  Could you bring it up with Quigibo if it is?

It's probably possible, I've been meaning to add some api entry points for a while now. I'll see what quigibo says.

What about ON + MATH? It wouldn't replace anything and doesn't seem to be in use.


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.

Yeah, that wold be great.

Maybe, probably not yet

What about ON + MATH? It wouldn't replace anything and doesn't seem to be in use.

I was thinking ON + MATH, but that's a little random. It does fit my needs though.

I have to assume you mean the abort button and I can't do that. The abort occurs before the appvar is located and therefore I would have no way to determine if I should abort or not. Also, I can't do it after I check the appvar because if the appvar is corrupted, it will crash when it tries to determine what to do. Then you'll have to reinstall your OS...



But, the real reason that I am posting is because I am putting together an API for zStart. Currently I only have two entry points: runOP1 and editOP1. What else does zStart do that you would want to do with an assembly program? (perhaps on ram clear or turning on for instance)
