Why do they try that hard? Would being able to program and do these things with them actually ATTRACT customers?

This is a bit odd. Not really a big deal to us though.

Well, I hope that Unsigned still works at least. :/

Good luck stopping unsigned lol. I made that program possibly the most annoying program for TI to debug. Not only is the entire program encrypted, but it has like 8 different hardware checks that it performs to make sure it's not running on an emulator. My favorite part is that a few of the checks crash it, a few of the checks freeze, and finally, the last few checks make it look like it worked when in reality nothing happened.

Basically, TI is going to have to write some code in order to figure out how that program works.

That sounds pretty fun, as if you should film them trying to debug unsigned :P

LOL ;D
Though if they lock the certificate we're screwed. :/
Also I have a rev G clac with boot code 1.02 but I use unsigned anyway for the name on about screen. :P Also set my cert rev to 42. :P

If they ever manage to block it, I hope OS validation (when sending an OS to the calc) won't take an extra 10 minutes O.O

Anybody who bought a TI-84+ those last weeks/months? Which hardware revision did it come with?
People in my class recently bought calcs, so I checked a few of them.
Calc 1: P-0113P, 1.03, TI-84+
Calc 2: This one seems weird to me. K_0411S, 1.03, TI-84+ (EDIT: I mistyped this as an SE. It's actually a regular one.)
Calc 3: This is an TI-84+SE that's so old that it doesn't have a letter at the end of its serial.

Back around the time that the missing ram pages were discovered, we figured out not to trust anything written on the back of a K calculator. If I remember correctly, we thought they might be refurbished or something.

Is there still a list of various calc models with tests ran on it showing if tools work or if they have the extra RAM pages? I remember it was floating around somewhere when TI-Boy SE started, but I don't remember if it was updated.

As an emulator author I know I ought to be offended at the idea of emulators being imperfect; as a realist I know that of course they inevitably are; and as a fan of third-party OSes I'm just amused.  Well done, though I may need to have a go at cracking your program myself. ;)

It seems that the new TI-83 Plus.fr USB in France (which use the TI-84+SE hardware) have their Boot Code write protected: EpicFail and Flashy don't work anymore.
This, to be honest, is probably a good thing.  Is the boot code the same as the older 1.03?

I can write a program to test this directly.

It's hardly surprising, considering they did the same thing on the TI-84+CSE.
