Wait you have wabbitemu on your DS?

yeah at least now the Reign of Legends 2, The Reign Of Legends 3, Illusiat 4 and Mana Force 2 aren't the only calc RPGs with an Airship now

I think this is going to be the first game I've seen where it uses "procured" instead of "you have obtained."
Post by: Zera on November 12, 2007, 07:20:00 pm
It also sounded a lot fancier, for some reason...
It was actually something of a quirk I borrowed from a Final Fantasy II translation.
Oh, and don't forget:

Those are some nice screenies! :)
Here is one concern of mine...
On the 68K calcs, light gray tends to be the color that is very susceptible to flickering. It is not that noticable in small amounts, but large amounts of contiguous light gray may be hard on the eyes. Do the Z80 calcs experience the same thing?
Hopefully, I won't get chastised too much for my thoughts this time. <_<

I think so. I duno whether 68ks use an interlaced routine, but the z80s flicker a bit but not too bad on the light gray. RGP masks bytes so it's not like you're switching between entire layers. you're switching between every other pixel i think. not sure which masks Jim used, but it's close to being that.
@art_of_camelot:
I think you're a bit confused. For gs, you show the dark layer for twice as long as the light layer. what ever is on the dark layer looks darkgray, and whatever is on the light layer is light gray.

note that real grayscale LCDs don't need to do this. we have to do this because calc LCDs only support black and white. it's a pretty good illusion i must say ^^

P.S. I've heard the new ti inspire does, but as it isn't programmable it doesnt count :P

The last time I tried there was no speed difference though, but at 5 levels it flickers a lot on the 83+ black edition and it starts to make a whole load of pics. I recommend staying with 3 or 4 level for BASIC.

LIES! ALL LIES! :P
It would be REALLY nice if they made it programmable, in additon to the grayscale (built in) I think it had a very high res display as well. Post by: Zera on November 14, 2007, 08:05:00 am

Either way, good question Ranman.
Yes the NSpire will be programmable, but don't think it is anything close to low-level. There will be no ASM, BASIC, C, or C++, but instead it will be programmable with Java/C# running on a VM. :(
Which I have heard can be pretty slow with the Nspire.
(All this information comes straight from a TI Nspire OS developer.)

what?? C! C! C! or ARM ASM. maybe they're afraid someone will write a GBA emu or something XD
XDXD jkya, maybe interlacing isn't used because the LCD is memory mapped and it does take awhile to copy stuff around. duno if interlaced would be better for whatever speed loss. idk, maybe Kevin Kofler knows.

Java? C#? :vomit:

So... basically you are saying that our 12MHz calcs are going to run circles around it. :w00t:

The implementation of that language leads to whether it is fast or not. The fact of the matter is though that a VM on the Nspire is not something desirable, and you will probably only be getting 83+ basic-like games out of it with Java/C#
Also the bottom-line on speed is that Java/C# will never be able to have the same features as C/C++ and be as fast. It is impossible.

So it's like a programming guide built in for anyone who wants to hack it. Then all you'd need to do is back up the memory with a whitebread (blank, no substance :P
) program of some sort that you have created and then modify the pointer to the data to point to another variable that you have created, using a hex editor of some sort, so that when you run the whitebread program, it'll run the instructions you saved in this other variable instead. That would be a way to create a shell, then all you do is create a TASM like system to write the commands to a file from a text file you write on your computer, fix the checksum (which you'd need to do with the backup too) and send it to the calc.
Then you can run the programs through this shell you made before.
Same way they made the shell for the 82. (the first was ASH and then CrASH came after that)
Or, if they decide to give it app support, you could much more simply write a shell as an app, and have that run your programs.
Wasn't this topic about Lost Legends II ? :P
:P:P

i think they should have given C/ARM asm a chance. seriously, nspire has a lot of potential hopefully.
and ya, maybe LL3 will be on nspire ^^
