what sort of problems did the first one have? because i tried to use it and it crashed. i had a full memory dump (RAM and Archive) and now my calc randomly crashes when i try to do some basic functions or run certain apps.

I'm hoping ARCHUTIL will be of some service in recovering my archive.

Did anyone see this bug report?


Idk, I could have sworn that post wasn't there.

The problem with the first one was that it just jumped to the wrong spot if run as embedded. And if it was run from the homescreen, it did a push without a pop and returned to somewhere random.

But this is just little stuff, I have never had this little of an error cause what you have.

Edit:
    Either something else happened, or you got the most unlucky crash ever.

I don't have a Cemetech account, but:

Edit: ArchUtil was able to recover my archives once i put it back on my calc. Now, seeing my above problems, should i do an OS reinstall? Will reinstalling delete my Archive?

If you can link your calculator, then can't you can make a backup of your archive?

But I'm pretty sure installing an OS doesn't delete your archive.



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

On reading what's over at cemetech, I would say that one of your os sectors got deleted. One way to check would be to use calcsys, and check page 0, 4, 74, 78, and 7C. If any of them are all FF's then it got deleted.

The other possibility is that bcall(_archiveVar) created some garbage object in the archive, and anything that runs across it crashes. Though, I think you said your archive has already been cleared, so I guess that's not it.

It depends. I think downgrading can (it did when I downgraded my 83+SE from OS 1.18 to 1.13). It might depend, though.

On Cemetech, BrandonW says it doesn't.

But I suppose downgrading might be different?

Still, though, as long as you can send the OS (and ArchUtil, for that matter), you should be able to use TI Connect or TiLP to make a backup... so I'm still not sure why it would be a problem.

Here's what I realized I did. I made sure all the names in Str4 were 9 characters, the + or -, then the name (8 chars, spaces for blanks). But, for Str3, I forgot the spaces at the end.


Edit: Can someone link me to TI-84 Plus SE OS V 2.43?

Ahh, yes, the way your memory fell into place that could create a group with a very weird name.

Do you want me to fix up the program so that it doesn't require spaces for the title or programs? Or are you done with this?

Btw, I think somehow you already found a link.  ;)

Edit:
   Too late.

Now it will make whatever name you put in str3. So "A", "ABC", "ABCDEFGH" are all valid. And for str4, "+A+B-IMPOSBLE-GROUP2", will work too. Just do everything the same, but leave out the spaces.

thanks.

PS: I didn't mind crashing for the sake of helping this routine be bug-free, just as long as its fixable, and I don't have to restart my project. ALL HAIL ARCHUTIL.

PSS: So in the new version, I dont need to worry about crashing or wacking out because I forgot spaces?

No, the new one is safe. I guess the only bad thing you could do now is if you put stupid stuff in the name. Like lowercase letters, pi, etc.

If you put random junk in the names, will it create the group anyway, just with different name? I remember Mario 83+ allowed you to create levels in PRGM form that had lowercase letters. I think SourceCoder lets you do that, too.

You can kind of do it, but you have to trick the OS.

Here is the alphabet of lower case.
d = radian
e = degree
f = normal
g = sci
h = eng
i = float
j = =
k = <
l = >
m = <=
n = >=
o = !=
p = +
q = -
r = ans
s = fix
t = horiz
u = full
v = func
w = param
x = polar
y = seq
z = indpntAuto

Use these instead of the letter.

Edit:
    Wow, it actually works.
