Extracting Casio OS images
« on: April 11, 2012, 05:19:40 pm »
Hi,


With the whole fx-8960G family, it was possible to get an OS image while the computer was updating the calculator by checking the following pathes, depending on your Windows version:
« \Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Temp\{64B068C2-4158-42C8-9566-5FC76416D0E5} »
« \Users\...\Local\Temp\{64B068C2-4158-42C8-9566-5FC76416D0E5} »

The image file was named UpdateCode.bin with a size of 2496KB.

This allways worked for me with Casio updaters coming with various versions from 1.05 to 2.00.


It seems that it doesn't work anymore for Casio updaters coming with the new version 2.01.

Is it just me or did some of you experience the same problem?

Could you find another way of extracting the new 2.01 OS image from the Casio updater?


Thanks,

Critor

We have images from OS 2.01 and OS 2.02 (SH-4A based models). I have sent you a PM.
The only interesting part would be the "dummy" boot code image from the official OS 2.01 setup, but it seems they did not change anything.

Just wondering, I thought you only owned TI-calcs :)
