ztrumpet:
Could you have another "kernel" that would include all the TIOS bcalls? Would that work? :)
DJ Omnimaga:
That would be a nice idea, altough I fear this would add up a lot to the file size. Maybe external? I wonder if it would allow the emulation of old ASM games that were not ported to be easier?
calcdude84se:
The problem with that is that the kernel (or the most important part of it) is on page 00h, which is stuck in the $0000-$3FFF area. Having another kernel means re-writing the flash for that sector, and that makes it quite similar to Brandon's OS2's dual-booting (I don't know if Sir will do that). If he doesn't do that (make a whole new kernel/dual-boot), he'll have to change a few things with the basic design of the kernel to allow, say, bcall compatibility (not to mention the other routines that have RST versions)
Would it be practical to, say, scan an 8xp file and change it to KnightOS format and compatibility? (I don't know if it will be possible, we may need lots of porters :P)
SirCmpwn:
Well, I was thinking of writing a porting program that would disassemble it and fix the problems, then output a .kxe file.
By the way, any program you have on your computer, you can put on your calc, size permitting.
DJ Omnimaga:
Wait, does it means we could just rename any kind of file like a jpg to 8xp and send it with TI-Connect like we do with the TI-Nspire? Doesn't TI-Connect have protections against such thing? Or is it something happening TI-OS-side?
