How to obtain TI-81 rom?
« on: June 22, 2010, 01:20:04 pm »
I was wondering how to get a TI-81 rom (Legally!), since they have no link-port.
Could someone please enlighten me?

One a side note, does TI-Connect work with TI-82's?


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

PMs are no good, we don't want anything shady going on in any corner of this site.  As for the ROM, either email somebody who has it, or do a google search :P that's really all we can say

That is true.  Don't PM anyone.  But find someone who has a copy, like me or Brandon Wilson, and ask.
I think it was copied by hand x_x and no emulators will run it atm.

Hmm, I didn't know Emu8x would emulate an 81.

And kinda on a side note:

Does the current version of TI-Connect work with the TI-82?

There is a patch on ticalc.org to convert a 81 ROM into 86 so you can run in on certain emulators like Virtual TI.

http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/415/41528.html

I wonder if such ROM could be then converted to Emu8x?

Also I am not too sure anymore if TI-Connect could still do the 82. You probably need to use TiLP or TI-Graph Link for that.

Also, does anyone know if Emu8x requires the extra RAM pages? (I have a bad feeling that it does.)

I don't think so...  I think it just runs the ROM like a program, or something.

OK. That's helpful since I have a newer TI-84.

Edit: Does TiLP work on 64-bit Windows? If not, I don't think I can do a ROM dump of my 82 very efficaciously.

Again, you could find someone who can help you "acquire" the ROM.

Yes, but I would also like to be able to link to my 82.

Not TI-Connect, I think you need Graph-link (or TILP :P).
As for needing extra RAM, The emulated calculators have RAM, so that needs to be kept somewhere. This is done w/the extra RAM pages. Luckily, the TI-81 has only one RAM page, so that should work on newer calcs. The others don't, I think.
As for 81's and Emu8x, the newest version has support for it.
