Title: Ndless CM - Ndless ported to the TI-Nspire CM !
Post by: critor on March 26, 2013, 05:28:12 pm
The latest beta version (r685) of Ndless 3.1 was published last August, nearly 8 months ago. :'(

Until now, Ndless 3.1 handled the following Nspire models:
In other words, until now, the users of two Nspire models were unable to use Ndless: the chinese TI-Nspire CM (http://ourl.ca/12340):  :(
Tonight, we're glad to release Ndless for the Nspire CM-C!
(http://tiplanet.org/forum/gallery/image.php?mode=medium&album_id=13&image_id=2316)

After the Nspire CAS+, Ndless has therefore been ported to all Nspire models! :)


In fact, this CM-C support was made months ago, and it was supposed to be integrated to Ndless. It didn't get done yet.

We think that the fact that Nspire CM-C users, who will soon be taking exams, have access to reduced functionality (even more so than by the mere fact of using an inferior model, that is), is no good, so we're releasing Ndless CM 3.1 as a fork of Ndless 3.1. We hope that the integration to the main Ndless can be done some day in one of the next updates if there are any.


Obviously, Ndless CM 3.1 requires using OS 3.1, as the vulnerabilities exploited to install Ndless have been simultaneously fixed in the OS 3.2 versions.

Ndless programs which are not defining their own syscalls in the source code should work directly without the need to be rebuilt.
The others will have to be adapted and rebuilt.

Note that the TI-Nspire CM-C CAS is not supported yet.

I agree! If apple were to redesign the Nspire-CX/CX CAS it would look something like that.

...but it would be locked down even more, and even more overpriced for cheap hardware :P

But it's so true, it's a well-known fact that Apple milks customers with severely overpriced and locked-down hardware :)

And that's why I'm leaving them. I switched from my iPod Touch to a Nexus 4 and I'm trying to sell my iMac to build a proper gaming machine (really, this thing has nothing inside and I paid 1500€ for it D:). I considered going hackintosh but I changed my mind and want Arch Linux now. :P
