Programming the TI-83/82
« on: September 03, 2011, 12:55:11 am »
I have received a request to make a program version compatible with the TI-83/TI-82 STAT. I understand that I won't be working with flash or bcalls, but how do I make assembly programs for them? What do I have to do with the compiler to make it compile as a .83p? By the way, I am working with the DCS SDK.

Actually, they do have BCALLs. Though the operating system's code is stored in a ROM, it isn't actually that different from the TI-83+ OS.

Kerm's Doors CS doesn't work on those platforms since they don't support flash apps.

Oh, that is helpful. Thanks!

I know, I am using the SDK, that comes with the app. I use the SDK to write my programs now :)

If I may point you towards: http://tifreakware.net/tutorials/multi/unification.html

Not really sure how helpful this will be to you, but it is supposed to allow you to program for all three calcs at once or something like that. Or just makes it easier to port from one calc to another :p Not really a lot there that I understand, I just happened to find it and thought I should archive it to my site >o>

That has been helpful! I keep forgetting about TI-Freakware and that has often been the place to go for info like this! I will probably need to locate an include file so that I can look at addresses and whatnot, though. By the way, I am trying to convert Grammer, if that helps.

EDIT:
Here is a list of the bcalls used in Grammer:

        bcall(_RclAns)      ;Used at the begining.
        bcall(_ChkFindSym)  ;Used twice
        bcall(4594h)        ;used to convert a token to ASCII

As a note, bcall is the only rst used, too. So this means it shouldn't be too hard to convert, right? No bcalls are used to read FP numbers, display text, play with the LCD or anything else. I can easily make a routine to replace _ChkFindSym and _RclAns, but the last one is the one that I might have difficulty with as I don't know anything about it :/
