We've added a small banner ad at the bottom of the page for all guests. Signed in members won't get the ads. This is being done primarily as an experiment to see how much could be earned with advertising due to the non-member traffic we get. This is not being done due to any need for extra money to continue running the servers. Several admins are in stable financial situations, and plan to keep on paying for server hosting fees indefinitely.

If you haven't seen it yet, Castlevania: Prelude of Chaos was ported to the PC. This game was originally for the 82, 83, and 83+ series of calculators, as seen on ticalc. The port is an interesting technological feat, where an interpreter was written to handle system calls, keyboard, and controller input. The port also includes a new original soundtrack.

You can find the game on itch.io

A jailbreak has been released that brings back ASM/C support to CE calculators running OS 5.5 / 5.6. This jailbreak is named arTIfiCE and involves exploiting an issue with the official CabriJr application. This jailbreak also opens the door to allowing you to downgrade your calculator to an OS version that still supports ASM/C programs natively.

Its anybodies guess as for how long it will be before TI patches this issue in a new OS version.

Due to OmnomIRC no longer being maintained by @Sorunome, we have removed it from the forum. This also means that we are no longer linking to Efnet.

We have replaced OIRC with a discord embed for those of you who prefer to chat from the forum itself.

As seen over on Cemetech, TI has removed native code support from the CE line of calculators. This means that programs written in assembler, or compiled with languages like C will no longer work on the latest OS. If you want to continue using natively compiled programs, you will want to avoid updating for the time being. We will continue to post major updates and information as this evolves.

What is your opinion on this change by TI?
