Unlocking Flash

Hey, I just joined Omnimaga and it looks like a very cool site.
I was just wondering what it means to "unlock flash" I recently encountered one of Brandon Wilson's unlocking flash programs at http://www.brandonw.net/calcstuff/
and i want to know what it does.
Thanks

HI and welcome here :)
I am not sure exactly what it means, unfortunately, because I don't do z80 assembly, altough I know recently he did an utility that allowed the installing of third party OSes on your TI-83+ calculator. 1 week later, this utility was obsoleted by what's talked about in the last news on www.ticalc.org website. I also remember a while ago he also had in mind to write a program that allowed the user to run programs directly from flash rom memory (archive). But I have no clue if the Flash unlocking thing is related and what it is about. Maybe Calc84, Iambian or Simplethinker could awnser, else you might have to ask BrandonW himself . Sorry for being no help :(

Thanks and no problem.
I just really started calculator programming and have no idea what all this fancy stuff is. =)
DJ Omnimaga:
I'm pretty sure this is related to z80 assembly programming. Assembly is very rough to learn, though. TI-BASIC is easier, but it isn't as efficient. Examples of both ASM and BASIC games are in the download section. The flash unlocking stuff tells me something, but i don't remember much anymore x.x. I'm sure it's something BrandonW attempted at least 2 years ago
I myself would never mess with that stuff, unless it's actually something that enhances the TI-BASIC language. I attempted assembly 3 times so far x.x

Yeah, I think i'm going to stick with basic for now. There's a lot of interesting stuff at http://www.brandonw.net/calcstuff/. I even heard from one of my friends that you can use a usb drive with the calculator and even listen to music! I don't even understand how that is even possible.
