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

More like "in France they got lazy and wanted to stop selling 82 Stats.fr which are only sold in that country so they replaced them with 83+ with the label 82+ and replaced 83+ with 84+SE with the label 83+.fr".

But now that you say it, it means your OS is 2.55 and your boot code is 1.03. I don't know if this is related to the issue, probably not.

Yeah my OS is 2.55MP and I don't know why, but this time I've restarted from scratch and no problems. I've a custom font, set parameters on RAM clear and I will add a custom font.
In France, big american corporations are slack at a point... But the price of the new TI 83+ is the same as the old but with a larger better material.
TI 82 + = 50 € ~ 70 €
TI 83 + = 60 € ~ 80 € (Mine is 69,99€)
So it's good for french who always have the same price price in euros than in dollars (ex :200 dollars = 200 euros)(converting: 200 dollars ~ 155 €)

Well it seems unlikely that the issue is related to zstart, rather to clock thingy.
Maybe you can write a program that'll load the clock hook and have that run on ram clear?

Yeah, it's good to have a 84+SE for the price of a 83+. The thing I am complaining about is labels, they should just have stopped selling 82Stats.fr and kept selling 83+ and 84+SE. But now, someone with a 83+.fr (=84+SE) might think that TI-Boy SE doesn't run on their calc even though it does, on their calc or might think there's a bug when TI Connect says "TI 84+SE detected" even though they plugged something labeled "83+.fr", etc.

I think it too but I'm not in the -poor- marketing sector in Texas Instrument. But when we go to About menu, we see TI 84+ Silver Edition. When I saw that , I thought they switched motherboards in the factory ! But now I know and I stuff my calculator a lot !

I definitively think it's just a conflict between the clock program and ZStart hooks or another program. That happens sometimes since authors of newer softwares often don't take into account older softwares that are barely discussed about.

Just I feature I really like to see:
(also, I can't code much in assembly - I just know the basics, so forgive me if I say something stupid...)

Background: I really like zStart and I really like Symbolic+Omnicalc and I also like TI's Mathprint. Symbolic depends on Omnicalc to have the real(XX hooks and some of my programs depend on Symbolic and having Omnicalc around is nice. Omnicalc isn't compatible with Mathprint. DrDnar made a good mod of Omnicalc which makes it (sort of) compatible with Mathprint so everything works fine, but it seems like zStart is hard-coded to work only witht the Omnicalc version packaged with it.
I was hoping for something where all of them would work fine together.

Request: Hard-code zStart to work with bothe DrDnar's modified version of Omnicalc and the Omnicalc version that comes packaged with zStart. Please?

(I also added the modded Omnicalc to this poost.)

Thanks,
Arka Majumdar

I don't think it's going to happen unfortunately. ThePenguin isn't really around anymore and while zStart is open source, people aren't really interested in making stuff compatible with MathPrint (80% of the forum members have either disabled it or downgraded to 2.43 or even older).

dudeprgm · « **Reply #1238 on:** November 16, 2014, 04:10:59 pm »

Well, okay then. I'll just keep Mathprint disabled.

Also, I think I found a bug (or maybe I set zStart incorrectly):
If I set a picture to show on startup, it works fine, but then if I turn my calculator off and on again (picture works fine) and I try to edit a program, my screen starts showing weird paint artifacts and freezes. Then the calculator crashes.

I have a TI-84 Plus, 2.55 MP OS.

(Is there another place to submit a bug report?)

thepenguin77 is not a coder who believes in commenting code.

Does this bug occur while mathprint is enabled or disabled?

Streetwalrus · « **Reply #1242 on:** November 20, 2014, 05:58:51 am »

Oh right I think the bug with the editor is actually due to MP and has nothing to do with the picture.
The problem is that OS's 2.5x have a lot of compatibility issues with hooks and having mathprint on only makes it worse.

TheCoder1998 · « **Reply #1243 on:** November 20, 2014, 09:05:40 am »

You might want to downgrade from 2.55MP to 2.43, because that's the most stable version of the os.
And mathprint isn't really necessary anyway.

Bug report:
No idea what's going on. It just started typing characters on its own. This happened after executing an axe program with Zoom&Run.
