Wow I didn't realize they added/removed so much :/. GOod job, though, but I would keep the Nspire ad, in case in the final version teachers catch people with modified OSes when they see 2.71MP but a different message than the ad.

I've been working on this all day and I think I've cleaned up the mess. This patch should fix 2.71MP.

I took care of:
-Parser Hook
-USB hook
-Asm(, AsmComp(, and AsmPrgm tokens, all reinstated and all working
-The random crashing
-ClrHome, Output(, Disp, and ClrDraw being slow
-Apps over 2 pages not running
-Output( not displaying in row 8
-Asm(, AsmComp(, and AsmPrgm no appearing in the catalog
-The weird advertisement
Did you also change the version number back to 2.55MP?

Ooh, can this be used to "unpatch" other OS versions?

Probably not.

EDIT: Apparently he did.

Actually if he changed the number back to 2.55MP this would kinda be pointless, because people just have to re-install 2.55MP instead.

That's unless he wanted to make a patcher/unpatcher to quickly turn the OS from 2.55 to 2.71 back and forth, as some sort of teacher key.

Or he could simply edit OS 2.55MP to say 2.71 MP...

The patcher does change it to say "2.55MP," though (look in 2ND+[MEM] > 1:About...).

I see... well then I'm confused about the purpose, as to return to 2.55MP you can simply get a copy of 2.55MP. Or is it if 2.55MP would eventually vanish from TI site and to prevent people from having to search for a mirrored copy?

Why change the version to 2.71? Once you take out all the updates, it is 2.55.

True, so why not download 2.55MP?

Or maybe TI did something useful in 2.71. Who knows.

Updates?  Was anything updated?  This OS 2.71 looks like more downdating (?) to me :P
Good to see some of the problems solved, though.

Well then people can't fool teachers making them think they got 2.71MP. That way they don't get told to upgrade. :P

Great work, thepenguin! You should release a version of the OS with these patches applied. While you're at it, you could also mod the OS to include super-optimized routines, such as FastCopy instead of the slow routine. But that's another day. For now, fix that crummy OS!

Do teachers really have the right to fail you if you choose not to upgrade your OS? 2.43 and 2.55 work just fine.

If you really want the OS after all of my fixes are applied to 2.71, you should check the link in this post.
