But MP is the devil.

Well, for math stuff MP can be very good as you can actually see all the stuff in fractions etc.
It is very simple - if you use it mainly for math/school, MP is good.
If you use it mainly for programming, you'd want 2.43

Meh mathprint never really worked out for me. Even when I used my calc for school. Probably because I already had stuff that conflicted with it, but fractions would always crash (without zStart).

well, on 2.53MP maybe, but not on 2.55MP.

I have 2.55MP, and I almost always use MP in my math classes. It's especially nice in the classes I'm taking now, one of which uses matrix math and the other of which uses integrals and summations. And I don't think I've experienced any bugs with it, only a few incompatibilities with Omnicalc and zStart that I can't blame TI for.

Speaking of which: opening the editor with MathPrint enabled in the latest official build of zStart (no small font editor) always leads to a crash.

I had a problem on the 2.55, the same that was lately "discovered" on Cemetech here. That's when I decided I'd get the 2.43 back.
Even without that bug, I found out that I was typing slower on MP because of TI refreshing the whole screen everytime and me trying to type too fast, some keys not being detected between two frames.
I don't even mention incompatibilities with ASM programs, just the fact it's not even that convenient if you want to use it for maths.

Now, if those small issues don't bother you, I can understand that you use it, I just say I won't

I got that z-address bug with fractions too.

Lol, I don't use it, I just said why others use it, I use 2.43 due to reasons you stated.

That isn't a real bug. It's an artifact caused by the old flash unlock method. I made a patch for it which you can find here.

Hi,
New to Omnimaga, I want to post to advert you (write word ?) than when you set clock with zStart installed, the calculator crash and doesn't show anything unless you remove battery. It's really annoying, because I want to use Clock to show time and date in differents menu.
Thanks,
Arno

Sorunome · « **Reply #1225 on:** October 16, 2014, 04:25:03 pm »

Um, I thought the only place you can see the clock is in the MODE menu, except with third party programs?

Arno Dubois · « **Reply #1226 on:** October 17, 2014, 06:14:05 am »

No it's a kind of tweak that display time everywhere (or almost) and we can choose to display time or date or both. The name is Clock Hook and is findable here Clock Hook 2. In fact the calculator crash after setting clock or if zStart is uninstalled and RAM not cleared and variables clock and zstart presents, another crash.

Sorunome · « **Reply #1227 on:** October 17, 2014, 08:23:55 am »

Ah, I remember seeing that on ticalc

Did you try in zstart to chain the clock hook?
First enter the clock app and install the hook and then in zstart
2nd page -> program settings -> parser chain

Can't try it out atm as i don't have a 84+ rom lying around and my calc doesn't have batterys

ClrDraw · « **Reply #1228 on:** October 17, 2014, 09:51:11 am »

I tried with Wabbitemu and it said no hook found... I'll try it on my real calc.

edit: zStart said that it could not chain.

LOL the calculator I have is a 83+

but in late 2013, they changed the motheboard and it's the same as a 84+SE now

! So I'm happy because the old 83+ has a so little memory...
Tried it but clock isn't detected as a hook like ClrDraw said. The only hook I have is zChem (I don't utilize it it's for the test). Clock use another mehtod I think because I see date and time just after the cusror if I levae my calculator for 5 sec. like in the attachement.
Thanks for all your fast responses

!
