Things I just did to my calculator.
« on: November 15, 2010, 08:48:59 pm »
Mkay, I decided that I wanted to upgrade the functionality of my calc, so I added a bunch of apps.
Because some of these apps mess with the calculator, I want to make sure that I'm not accidentally about to kill my calc or conflict with each other.
I have a TI-84+SE with OS 2.53
and the apps I'm worried about are

Calcsys
CtlgHelp
DoorsCS7 (the latest one)
Graph3
Krolypto
MirageOS
Omnicalc
Symbolic
Unit Ops
zStart

Erm... these aren't going to kill my calc, are they, or ruin compatibility?  That would suck pretty badly.

That being said, any other interesting apps/programs I should have on my calc?
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

I look at that and see a lot of hooks. >.>
Chances are you'll only be able to use a couple at a time because of conflicts.
(This doesn't mean crashes, just that the others get disabled if you start another one.)

I think omnicalc's entries menu really screws up sometimes.
Also, you use both DCS and mirage?

Oh, yeah, I didn't notice that.
Omnicalc with 2.53 MP is rather crashy :(

Mirage and DCS can interfere with eachother if you keep programs hidden. Basically, Mirage will display all your games with a weird token as the first letter and then sometimes some programs will be visible and one shell or another says that they're hidden and viceversa.

Symbolic only works when classic mode is enabled.

IIRC Omnicalc has major issues with 2.53MP (did BrandonW make a patch for this, I forget) For example, pressing clear while entering a mathprint expression clears the RAM. The fast-commands VARS menu also does not work and as Darl said, I think the entries menu doesn't work either

I think calcsys is fine

Be careful of krolytpo, it is too easy to lock yourself out of your calc :(

Graph3's hooks get disabled all the time (or maybe just because my RAM clears all the time), you'll have to reinstall everytime you want to use it

Also, Cabamap is an awesome app; lots of math stuff you can't use with the OS (calculate 100! !)

They will conflict, but usually you don't have to worry about killing your calc.

Oh yeah, good point.  I think I kept mirage because I could secure my memory screen.  This was before my urge to install a bunch of apps today.

well, the only thing is, I thought only Omnicalc did the memory screen protection O_o
Guess I am wrong...

BTW, what are you using Omnicalc for any ways?

Omnicalc's restore mem feature is pretty nice (although i think it doesn't work in 2.53 either) :P I personally also like to use it to play some music (not as much since I found mobiletunes though)

I have omnicalc on my 2.53 calc, and I never use it. I'm not even sure why i still have it, but I don't want to delete it :P

Mirage has special interrupts for programs. Plus, it has a minimalistic GUI, which makes for quick testing. At least that's my opinion.

Other special stuffs... (I just looked in the apps section in ticalc for a couple minutes)

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.

Krolypto can protect the programs menu, the apps menu, startup, and memory menu.
Omnicalc's protection disables the delete key and reset option.

^THIS, i completely love the minimalistic gui of MirageOS, it suits my every need ^^

Yeah, sometimes I wish there were some sort of hook (kind of like how calcutil works) so you could use the ON interrupts mirage has in a program run from the homescreen.
If DCS were only one app slot, I'd probably be using that though :P

Oh.
Hmm, funny thing: Krolypto crashed my RAM the first time I tried it, but it worked fine afterwords...
Question: What does calcsys even do, and what can I do with it?

Calcsys gives you access to the VAT and an on-calc disassembler. It's very useful if you do ASM programming.
