Title: Interesting discoveries in the updater (fxASPI/OSpdateDLL)
Post by: vxl on December 12, 2011, 01:26:50 pm: Today, I tried to find out how the Prizm is updated and I extracted OSUpdateDLL.dll and fxASPI.dll (this DLL can also be found with the screen receiver) from the installer.

Using Nirsoft's (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dll_export_viewer.html)

Also, your grammar and syntax are great :) What is your native language? Also, Welcome to Omnimaga!

Some people have been wondering what's hidden in this incredibly large OS update executable, because on TI-8x calcs, an OS update file is often under 1 MB size and we didn't find the 10-11 MB size justified.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 12, 2011, 03:14:34 pm: Probably, although the thing is even the FX-9860G updaters were almost as large too, and the 9860G/Graph 85 barely use any artwork, being a monochrome calc. It seems they put a lot of other stuff in the update executable or the OSes are just not optimized well (kinda like the TI-Nspire OS 2.1).
