Hi,
I am looking for someone who can make the Algebrator program work on the Casio Prizm Calculator.
Algebrator is a .exe file type. The prizm needs a .3ga file type. Here is the link to the program Algebrator http://www.algebrasolver.com. I have the algebrator program I can send to anyone willing to give it a try. The Algebrator program is 6.0 mb and does not need to be installed.
The memory on the Prizm will handle the Algebrator program.

There is no way to "port" Algebrator to the Prizm, you'd have to re-write the entire program from scratch. I'm sure that at some point in the future there will be a CAS engine for the Prizm, but as of now there is none.
You'd be better at math if you did your homework yourself instead of using software to do it for you. ;)

Sorry, as mikehill said, it can't be reasonably done without re-writing the program from scratch. The reason is that .exe files that will work on a computer are in what's known as x86 machine code. However, the Prizm can only run what is called SuperH machine code, something that's entirely different (even ignoring endianess problems). Furthermore, .exe's and .g3a's are different file formats and contain different information. It's not as simple as just changing the extension. As it currently stands, the only .exe file parser currently written for the Prizm is what you might call "incomplete" if you were an optimistic person.
@Mikehill, I know of at least two different CAS systems currently being written.

.exe file parser
Someone actually started one for the Prizm?

:D
Nice. Has there been any word of a Prizm CAS model?

The .exe parser is part of Khavi (http://ourl.ca/10092/193752). Of course, x86 machine code isn't supported, but x86 isn't the only language .exe's support.

No. Casio hasn't said anything.

If they ever make one, it will most likely be a ClassPad PRIZM or something. Basically a color version of their touchscreen CAS calculator from 2003.

At least Casio has been more perceptive to our needs than TI's. I believe Casio is up to something big for the Prizm, but I'm not sure what it is yet. When I did contact them it sounded like it had something to do with images.

Picture Plot is the only thing they've been taking about for a while. Didn't you notice that? :P
