Title: Protected Programs
Post by: Munchor on November 18, 2010, 04:05:07 pm
Hey there,

I have an important question here:

I have the file AXE3DRAC, which starts with:

Code: [Select]
.RACER3D

And when I compile it, I get the file RACER3D.

Now, I open TI-Connect, and I'd like the file RACER3D to upload to my website.
However, since it is a protected program (both archived and unarchived), it won't let me open it.

Is there a way to do it, since Sniper101 was like that and a few more games too :s

Thanks!

there is, and i don't know it. however, you wouldn't want to. all that will be displayed is random tokens, since protected programs are ASM programs, aka, machine code. just a bunch of numbers the calculator interprets.

But I don't want to edit it in the computer, just distribute for people to play :s

Hmmm what do you mean open it?  Try going to file>Copy to computer and copy it to a location.

oh you mean it won't let you upload it? you said it won't let you open it. it depends upon the service you're using, i guess.

TI Connect>> Explorer >> File (Right Click) >> Open

The Open is blocked, can't press it, also tried Ctrl+C, no luck.

Besides from Open all I can do is Delete :s

All protected program means is that it can't be edited on calc. You can lock your basic programs so people won't screw with them. But all ASM programs are locked because editing them would just give you random garbage.

Protected vs. no protected does not affect uploadablility, aside from the fact that they show up in a different folder in ti connect.

Ninja'd Edit:
    You don't open them, you copy them to your pc.

well if you mean the editor, then of course it won't open.  You can only do that with the source.  RACER3D.8xp can be distributed in that form -- 99.9999999999999% are uploaded like that, and the other .000000000000001% of those files are unprotected probably due to a mistake.

I see what you mean there.  To transfer to the computer, drag and drop the file from the explorer to your desktop.  That should work fine.

EDIT: using mouse
