Title: Hello, Omnimaga!
Post by: lue on October 17, 2011, 08:51:27 pm
Hello there! o/

I have been a user of my TI-84+SE since I got it in the 7th grade (think it was 7th anyway).  I have been coding it in Ti-BASIC since the beginning, although I've always been interested in coding assembler. The one thing that has stopped though is an inability to emulate my calculator.

This past weekend, deciding my physics formulas program can't survive much longer as a BASIC program, I installed TiLP and TilEm again, and tried rom8x for the first time (I was under the mistaken impression before it was windows-binary only). Now I have a working emulator, and I have started learning assembler (haven't got anything working yet, but that's a separate topic).

I run Gentoo Linux on a 10-yr-old G3 (Pismo) PowerBook. That's the gist of it. Anything else you'd like to know?

Heya and welcome here. I myself faced the limitations of TI-BASIC too. Granted we can do some cool stuff in it, but BASIC is nowhere close to make TI-Boy SE run at high speed ;D.

I hope you enjoy your stay. Also what emulator do you use? WabbitEmu is currently the best as it's updated regularly, but it's not on ticalc.org so most people think VTI is the only emulator available.

I thought it was on ticalc...?
Tho I'm searching now and not finding it, it's not even listed..odd

In any case [!wikiti]Wabbitemu[/!wikiti] works a lot better than tilem, speaking from experience :P


Anyway welcome to omnimaga, have some (more) peanuts!

I tried wxwabbitemu at the recommendation of Hot Dog's tutorial, but it's unusable right now (the original wabbitemu is apparently Unenlightened in the ways of freedom :)), so I'll stick with TilEm for now.

Ti-BASIC is great, but considering that Physics Man (the name of my physics formulas program) is already ≈2000 or so bytes within just the first month or so, I figured life would be better for it as an application. At least I had the sense to make the BASIC program modular (read: (relatively) easily expandable) from the beginning.

How big are those bags of peanuts? Maybe there should be a quarter next to it for comparison.
