Hi - And random questions
« on: September 02, 2010, 08:34:42 pm »
Hi, I'm a high school nerd, know a teensy bit of programming, and have an 84+ and an Nspire touchpad. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I have... 3 questions.
-I want to run Ndless on the Nspire but I don't want to downgrade my operating system. Is there any point in waiting for a version of Ndless to be released that is compatible with 2.0 or is there some fundamental restriction that TI has figured out to prevent that from happening?
-I'm writing an Nspire document during boring classes- a compendium of dirty jokes  ;D Some of them are of the question and answer variety, and I need a way to make the answer stay hidden after the document is closed and reopened and all the answers are spoiled. Kind of stupid of TI when you think about it... how does one set the default to hide the answer when the file is opened?!
-If I finish my 'dirty jokes compilation' do you think it'll be allowed on ticalc.org? It's not pornographic but some of the jokes are pretty raunchy.

Thanks in advance guys.

Hello and welcome here.  I can't answer your questions about the Nspire, but I'm sure someone else here can.

Oh, and your peanuts should be arriving shortly. :P

Hi!

I can answer you Nspire questions for you:

1. Right now, you can only use Ndless on OS 1.1.  I believe support for OS 1.7 will be comming soon (there is not too much difference between 1.7 and 2.0)

2. If I am not mistaken, you can do a "question and answer" type setup in the notes app.  Open a new notes page, press menu, then, i believe, templates.  That might hide the answer. EDIT: Nevermid, I misread your first post, you are already using these.  I am not sure about this, as I have never used them.  You might actually want to ask TI about this, they might actually be able to answer your question...

3. Not sure about this one...

Heya and welcome on the forums!

For now, I don't think TI has found out how to prevent Ndless on OS 1.7, 2.0/2.0.1 and 2.1, but Ndless developers are very busy so development is very very slow. Hopefully it will be possible to run Ndless on newer OSes soon, but it could still take several months. You can downgrade to 1.1 but 1.1 can be a bit annoying to use (the power management bug) and a lot of stuff such as the BASIC programming capabilities are missing, not to mention new documents woN't work on it.

As for the dirty jokes program, I am not sure if it would be allowed on ticalc, though. You can post it here, though, assuming it doesn't contain actual porn or extremly offensive content.

So is it possible to downgrade to 1.1, install Ndless, then re-upgrade back to 2.1?
And thank you, I think I will :)

Yes, but only if you have the clickpad keypad.  Otherwise, you will get an "Ndless" reboot.  You can upgrade your OS at any time with Ndless installed.

EDIT:  Also, I should note that you will not be able to open any Nspire documents made on any OS higher than 1.1 if you do downgrade.

I have the touchpad... that means I can't downgrade? Or that I can't upgrade? or that it'll screw up some step in between?

You can downgrade if you have the touchpad keypad (and upgrade back without any problems), but since OS 1.1 is not compatible with the touchpad keypad, it will reboot infinately.  If you want, you can order a clickpad from TI's online store for $10 plus shipping.

What if I borrow a friend's clickpad (yes, I have friends with clickpads =/) and use that to down/upgrade, then give it back and use the touchpad? Does that work OK?
(And off topic, but how do I get things onto my TI-84 keypad without an IO cable? is it possible?)
also, here's my dirty jokes document :)
