Those who got a TI-84 Plus calculator, but no Arduino board can now rejoice: KermMartian has released a beta of Doors CS 7.2 (http://www.cemetech.net/programs/index.php?mode=file&path=/beta/dcs72b1.zip), which includes DUSBgCn, a direct USB Global CALCnet bridge. Although it is still not 100% finished and might not be 100% stable, you should hopefully be able to play Obliterate with other people over the Internet through oblithub. Make sure to read the instructions carefully and if you find new bugs that weren't reported before, make sure to let the author know in the DCS 7.2 Beta + DUSBgCn thread (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5949).
However, if someone ever creates a gCn-based first-person-shooter, Kerm appears to be extremly good at this type of game, so prepare to be owned.
In addition to that, Cemetech (http://www.cemetech.net) front page now appears to track how many calculators are connected to gCn.

Just imagine what Kerm Martian could do if he got a TI-Nspire...
-
It works excellently in Linux AFAICT :)
Excellent work, Kerm!
-
Cool! If wifi8x ever gets finished, could we see calcs directly connecting to gcn? That would be awesome!
-
I just tested it out with a calc that I "borrowed" from a friend. This is the first time I have touched a TI calculator in several months and for the brief amount of time that I was on I was astounded by the sheer fact that I was using my (brother's) calculator on the internet.
Its this kind of thing that really makes using calculators exiting. Fantastic job to all who are involved. ;D(http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/default/images/gpbp_arrow_up.gif)

Wait waht? Link? O.O I never heard of this project before O.O
I hope ACagliano finishes the gCn portion of his Axe tutorial because since Axe is so popular, imagine all the games that could be created for it with Axe.
-
YES I HAVE TO TRY THIS NOW.
-
dj, http://brandonw.net/calculators/wifi8x/ should be it
-
Oh wow, since when has this been up? I never heard of it before. D:
-
It's probably not a good idea to link to brandonw's site, but yeah, a while. At least anything in the svn, or other secret parts. :D
-
Did he want this to remain secret? Or is it just because everyone will bug him asking when it's coming out? O.O

No, it wasn't supposed to be secret. Just go to brandonw.net and search "wifi8x". The article was posted January 6th, 2007.
EDIT: Note, the link above is totally fine, I was just talking about some stuff in the svn, and calcstuff might be bad to link to.
-
Oh ok, I thought it was a more recent project. And yeah Calcstuff is definitively not something we should link to. People will find the programs on Google and install them on school calcs and stuff.

yep, like how to corrupt your certificate and stuff. Not that I've ever... yeah....

Lol bad Graphmastur. :P The only way I got someone's calc stuck before was using the 999 element list SortA() trick.

lol, good times, good times.
-
Wow, I had no idea this would be released so soon! :)
I have to try this!
-
I totally wish I had an 84 Plus. But I don't./me feels poor. :(
I am, however, planning on purchasing an Arduino to make a gCn hub for me and my friends. And one of the advantages of using an Arduino or a USBHID bridge is that not only can we connect multiple calculators to the same bridge, but we can also plug it in to a Windows computer without installing drivers, so we can have Calcnet parties at my school.
-
Oh, wow. This is awesome news indeed! Great job to Kerm and all others involved!

I got mine stuck once with a Pause 0 in a For(Q,0,7 in Axe.
-
Oh, we meant in TI-BASIC.
-
Why didn't you say so? ;D
-
Well I thought it was obvious since I mentionned 999 list elements and SortA(). :/
-
I didn't know it was only to be confined to one language though....
-
How did we even get on this subject? Let's move this to Randomness if we aren't interested in talking about the gCn direct USB bridge anymore.
Having direct USB connection is quite awesome indeed. I can't use it, but I believe that this will popularize CALCnet enough to where one server won't be enough, and we can have other servers springing up.

Compynerd255 please don't backseat-moderate. Moderators know how to run Omnimaga and we know when to stop off-topicness if it gets too far. At this point it wasn't even that bad, as I saw threads ending up in 4 pages of off-topicness before. You just risk offending people by moderating in an innapropriate way (like how rude you were now) and annoying moderatos for enforcing rules that don't exist, not to mention sparking even more off-topicness.
Anyway I can't wait to see the final version. I hope Kerm manages to fix the remaining issues and crashes without too much hassle.
