Title: A way to make SEs run at + speed?
Post by: necro on March 12, 2006, 11:37:00 am

well, is their any ways a prog could force the SE to run at 8mhz mode during basic execution?  It'd be very handy to see how fast your game realy runs on those calcs

some shells aren't very good at letting an SE run at full power

do u mean basic or asm?

the SE runs at 12 MHz (slowed down from 15 MHz) actually. the 83+ runs at 6 MHz (slowed down from 8 MHz). Apparently they slowed down to save powers. However I dunno if there is any programs that slow down basic programs to 6 MHz on the SE, there must be a hex code that does that. Only thing is that xLIB plays with that setting i think so you would need to re run the proggie every time you run a xlib command.

Well I think it would be usefull for those who don't have a 83+ and want to code games for it. Like if I want my games to run full speed on 83+s and slowed down on the others.

i believe it's a ROMCall built into the TI-OS

hm... otherwise it could be done in asm using interrupts doing nothing ^^

You can either output a value to a port or use the _SetExSpeed romcall.

Why dont you just run the program in PindurTI? That should give you a good representation of how fast it would run on 83+ hardware.

:( eh, fine...(necro hates how pindur makes him scower the web for a r0m because necro has a silver link)

You can make r0m files with the silverlink now, use rom8x as it has been updated.

the super speed works on all 84+ models right?

ROM8x works on all 83+/84+/SE calcs with any cable. also the 84+SE runs at the full 15MHz

Post by: rivereye on March 21, 2006, 09:36:00 am

yeah. Think here, the 83+ runs at 6, and tI says the SE's (both of them) are 2.5 times faster than 83+, 15

Post by: Liazon on March 21, 2006, 10:29:00 am

so what mode are 84+ and 84+SEs normally at? 6 or 15?

Title: A way to make SEs run at + speed?
Post by: rivereye on March 21, 2006, 10:36:00 am

15, only 83+ BE is at 6

yeah, wwould make coding easier if it were the same
