Hello,
I can't let the Ndless installer past my firewall. How can I install it manually?
Thanks!
-
Can you use Nspire8x?
Other than that, I don't think you can install it manually (you might want to try to contact ExtendeD about it, as he might be able to revel how).
Also, you could use Ndless 1.7, which only requires the computer link software.
-
Is 1.7 stable yet? And I heard there were some problems with it having to be reinstalled often, things like that.
What is Nspire8x?
-
Ndless 1.7 is not completely stable, and it does take several tries to get it installed.
Nspire8x is a program by BrandonW that allows you to organize files, etc., on an Nspire from a TI-84. It also has a port of the Ndless installer, so you can install Ndless from it.
-
Hmm, found Nspire8x, might be able to use it...
Also, my Nspire only turns on once O_o. I turn it on, and it works fine, but when it turns off again, I have to remove a battery to get it back on, which is a bit of an inconvenience :P re-installing the OS doesn't work. Any ideas?
-
That is the well known "Power Management Bug". That is a bug present with OS 1.1 and all Nspires made after 2007. Pick up a copy of calc84's reset.tns, and before you turn your Nspire off, leave the cursor over this document. Once Ndless is installed, every time you turn on your Nspire, press enter and it will reboot, causing the screen to come on.
-
Ah. I notice a common theme with TI here... the longer their products are in production, the worse they get :P
I need to get Ndless properly installed first, though.
Could you point me to calc's program?
-
It is fairly safe to use 1.7, which among other things supports static variables and doesn't suffer from the bug.
SirCmpwn I assume you are going to code for the Nspire, which is even more reason to use 1.7 (you want everything to be compatible with the latest Ndless).
-
I'm going to code for the Nspire, so I may as well try it. Isn't 1.7 still in source code only, though?
-
Yes, but there are instructions on how to compile it in doc/(I forget the name :P). If you need any help, feel free to ask!
-
Not being able to install any dev tools, it would be spectacular if something were to suddenly appear in my inbox ;)

I have some tns files, but they are old and ustable...
I will send'em to you, but if I was you I wouldn't put it in my calc...

apcalc was nice enough to help me out :)

It seems that every 3 year since 2001 they get 10x worse ;D
2001: new TI-82s breaks compatibility with all old ASM games
2004: bad 83+/84+/84+SE LCDs screws with old Mirage/Ion games
2007: new 84+/SE hardware removing 80 KB of extra RAM. New Nspires with power bug issue when Ndless is installed
2010: TI-Nspire OS 2.0 that can potentially brick your Nspire, undowngradeable shit and what's next? ???
2013: Asm(), AsmComp(), OpenLib(), ExecLib(), non-TI Flash APPs support removed from new 84+ OSes. hardware change preventing old OSes from working?
2016: TI sues ticalc.org, omnimaga.org, unitedti, TI-Bank, Cemetech and TI-Freakware for either using TI acronym or stuff they made in their logos?
Glad you got everything sorted out, though.
-
Yeah, not quite. gbc4nspire is one of the primary reasons I installed Ndless, and it's not working.
-
Sorry, double post x.x
So I got 1.7 working \o/ and I got the patch thing installed for the reboot, but how do I use it? DJ Omnimaga says I just have to leave it selected when I power down. Is that right?
-
1.7 doesn't do weird things when you turn off. No need :)
-
Yeah I meant for OS 1.1 when i said that. I hope you can get everything to work x.x
-
Hmm, it was doing weird things, but then I got the reset program, and it stopped doing weird things :P

Hello,

Thanks!
What kind of problem do you see? Which firewall are you using?
If you plan to get back to Ndless 1.1, I can try to find which is the rule to add (localhost, but I don't remember the port).
Also I think Ndless 1.1 + Computer Link 1.3 doesn't use this localhost connection.
-
Yeah, not quite. gbc4nspire is one of the primary reasons I installed Ndless, and it's not working.
I don't know if this is the issue, but you can't use the version of gbc4nspire on ticalc.org on Ndless 1.7. You have to use Goplat's edited version on United TI or TI-Bank.
-
I got Ndless 1.7 working great, and have gbc4nspire working great with Pokemon Blue, Silver, and Link's Awakening. nes4nspire is also working fine with Super Mario Bros. Block Dude Nspire is great as well, and I'm about to try out the raycaster.
-
Cool! I wonder if the raycaster is 1.7 compatible...
-
Yep, it is.
-
Ah ok. Hopefully you should be able to get it to work :)
I really hope Calc84maniac eventually work again on his z80 emu so we have something better than TI's built-in 84+ emu to run our 84+ stuff.
