Title: Hello Omnikristaba... oops, Omnimaga!
Post by: Kristaba on February 14, 2011, 02:29:50 pm
Hi everyone!

I'm Kristaba, a french programmer, really interested by the low-level programming (between hardware and software), but, unlike the overwhelming majority of you, I program usually on a... Casio calculator O.O
So, more seriously I programmed a lot for my fx9860 (Graph85 in France), using the horrible Casio SDK at first, and now through the GCC toolchain.
I come here because I like the interest you have for the new Casio Prizm, and I think I can help the community to open it (fx9860 and Prizm are probably very similar : Casio use the same processor, and the OS is probably a lot of dirty improvements on the fx9860 OS).

By the way, I always admired the TI community, I think they are a lot of "real hackers" than on Casio community (due to a lot of reasons but mainly historical reasons I think).

So, I hope I could help, and see you later guys ;)

A Casio Programmer?  :o

Burn them at the stake!

Hello Kristaba! Welcome to Omnimaga!

We have a special forum for the PRIZM, the community is very dedicated to hacking it now. I, myself, have made a kind of Disassembler for the PRIZM, not very good, though, due to my lack of PRIZM Assembly knowledge. There is another disassembler, but better, by bsl.

In my website, here (http://www.davidgom.co.cc/prizm.html) you can find the PRIZM Hex equates and there is an Assembly tutorial somewhere in the PRIZM forum.

I hope you enjoy your time here ;D

Ah, new members, always welcome!
I hope you will stay after that we hack the PRIZM.

Heya and welcome here. Glad to see a new Casio programmer around. I unfortunately did not program a lot for them, but I own 8. My favorites in the ones I got are the 9850G, 9860G and fx-CG10. My only gripe are the many bugs and slow BASIC speed, but this will change when people open it :D.

I wish there were more hackers in the Casio community too, because back in the days I rememebr the Color FX calculators (that had 3 colors) were very popular and if ASM ever made it to that calculator, imagine the kind of games we could have gotten by changing the contrast of individual colors to have different color palettes and also the additional colors gotten by flashing back and forth between colors through checkered patterns. Sadly the 9850G series is discontinued and was replaced with the FX-9750G/II/Graph 35 and the like, which have no color. :(

I hope you enjoy your stay and stay around for a while.

On an unrelated note I was a bit skeptical at first, because on my other forum we had a spambot with the exact same nickname. O.O (a computer software automatically registering on forums to post pharmacy and casino advertisments)

Welcome to Omnimaga!  It's nice to have more Casio people floating in.
I don't know much about Casio calculators myself, but I'm looking forward to what'll hopefully be epic screenies :D

Cool, I programmed some stuff in SH3 assembly (but with a SH3, C language is often "better"), and currently I'm writing a on-calc assembler and linker (now it's functional, but really dirty, I'll release it later, but if you want really to see my code, see my Git repository : https://github.com/Kristaba/MCAssembler (https://github.com/Kristaba/MCAssembler) ).
Also, KPIT GNU Tools has a GCC targeting SH3, it's more easy to program from computer ;)

On CasioKingdom? Oo
Some minutes ago, I tried to send a mail to casiokingdom admin to understand why my IP is blacklisted from several month ago xD
This explains it ;)

I can't seem to get that friggin' compiler to work for me. I just program in hex instead :D

Nah it was on TIMGUL (not a calc forum). But I wouldn't be surprised if that bot posted elsewhere too. It was back when my other site still ran on SMF 1.1.x like this one, but without the anti-spam we got here. Actually the anti-spam nickname check was disabled because some real people were blocked upon registering. X.x  Spambots makes it hard for moderators. D:

Welcome to Omnimaga! We don't have that many Casio Developers so its really nice to have you here :D

Welcome here, Kristaba!  It's cool to see another Casio programmer here. :)
You mentioned that you're French, but you seem quite fluent in English.  That's pretty cool. :D
Title: Re: Hello Omnikristaba... oops, Omnimaga!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 14, 2011, 03:57:52 pm
Indeed.

By the way don't forget we also have a French section too, if you ever want to post there too. It's obviously not as active, but people wanted one since we had many French people around so it was quite helpful to have one.

Ooh, sweet, another Casio hacker.  Sweet.  So do you have a prizm? I'm one of the "hackers" for the prizm even though I don't have one yet.  :'( Anyway, welcome, have some peanuts:

We're glad to have you here!  I have a feeling that we'll get more Casio hackers because TI decided to rip us off

Whatever the case, I speak for many when I say I am excited to see more Casio stuff from people like you

ooh, howdy! A new programmer >_> I wonder if this means the Prizm will get hacked faster?! Hi!

Indeed. Also the color screen might attract people, unless the calc gains a reputation of buggy calc among students. A lot of TI programmers turned against TI too, despite still coding for the 84+.

Hey, welcome here! Many people here (myself included) are quite excited about the Prism. I really looking forward to seeing it open to dev and seeing what people can do with it. =)

Great we could use more Prizm hackers. Feel free to browse the Prizm sub-forum to see what we have already hacked.

They would need to have 65,535 colors and a sexy gui.

There would probably not be much differences, since the peanut bag was in 256 colors in the first place. :P

However, maybe one could be made with 8 colors. :P

They remind me of the v200 ones, except for the color :P

Once the g3p converter comes out that will become an actual Prizm image

I've never worked on a .g3p converter. I simply cracked the formatting  :)

EDIT: I need to look at that again. I forgot much of that and I never wrote it down.

Post by: z80man on February 16, 2011, 02:53:13 am
The main part of the code will be converting 24 bit color to 16 bit color. Otherwise the format doesn't look too computationally intensive.
