-Feature request: for the 83+BE, there is not a lot of Rom. So even with smart writeback, GarbageCollecting is frequent (and annoying). Maybe you could add an option "Never writeback" ?

In case you didn't know, MirageOS has this feature.

I know, but it doesn't have "run from homescreen"
In fact, I got this idea from MirageOS

So if we use MirageOS as a shell, the options within Mirage apply?

I don't really know but I don't think so: I use zStart with MirageOS as shell with the option "never writeback" and it did writeback. I guess zStart only uses the librairies in the shell.

I just updated zStart from 1.3.005 to 1.3.007, and it sent fine, but when i went into the zStart app and exited back out, my calc crashed and now wont turn on unless I hold down VARS. Help?

Oh. That may be it. Well, how would i switch to 1.3.006 if i cant:
1. Run any app
2. Go through the program list
3. Look in memory mgmt menu
4. Use TiLP


Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Remove a battery and re-insert it while holding DEL. The calc will ask an OS to be installed and zStart would probably be uninstalled (at least the run on RAM Clear option).

Wait a bit before doing this in case people give you less radical solutions

There is nothing radical about this in the slightest way. It does literally nothing besides clear ram. And no, it wouldn't affect zStart at all.


As for C0deH4cker, somehow manage to turn your calculator on, (VARS while rebooting should do it). Then simply delete the zStart appvar and clear ram again. I'm not sure what's going on, but that fixes all problems.

Wow this thread grew a lot compared to when I last checked it! I don't think I'll bother going through the 45 pages lol, but I'm glad to see this is still progressing. Eventually I might give it a try but unfortunately now I can't, because I'm using Doors CS7 and I have heard about compatibility issues between both apps.

can you use asm from home screen?
Can you link to another calc?
You could send a zstart appvar to your calc, and have it overwrite the current one.

Re-installing the OS doesn't kill the "run on RAM Clear" option ?

Oh, you meant reinstall the OS. Yes, that will get rid of zStart. However, just pulling up that screen won't do much of anything.

DCS compatibility is as good as I can get it from my side. The only thing missing is properly chaining hooks. Kerm says he can't really fix that because he ran out of space.

Asm from homescreen - yes
Linking - zStart won't affect it for the better or worse
and yes the appvars are transferable

Thanks Hayleia, I was

Request:  can you make a special version for me that will force the offset on the screen to always be 0?  My calc for some reason likes jumping everything 32 rows down (if it is easy.  I could back up my calc, then completely wipe it, then restore... but that seems risky)
