From 2001 to 2003, there was a website called Cirrus Programming where was located an Online Hexadecimal Disassembler (http://web.archive.org/web/20031204201621/cirrus.tigalaxy.com/hexer.php). However, after Cirrus, along with many other TI websites such as Prokul Interactive, The Calc Site and Obsidian Programming, merged to form United-TI (http://www.unitedti.org), the administrators decided to not backup the old information on the newly created community. Eventually, during the Summer of 2004, TI-Galaxy server shutted down, along with everything hosted on it included the Online Hex Disassembler tool linked above from the Webarchive.
This tool was very useful because it allowed anyone to put TI-83 Plus assembly games and programs (in 8xp format, up to 12 KB in size) on their calculator without a TI-PC link cable. You loaded a 8xp file (up to 12 KB in size) in the upload form, and the hexadecimal code of it was outputted. You had to type the code on your calculator, including the AsmPrgm command, then compile using the AsmComp( command. Despite the amount of time required to type certain programs and the risk of typos while copying the code, it was very handy if you did not a link cable or a computer where any link software works, and needed an ASM library (like CODEX) for a TI-BASIC project.
Today, Galandros has revived this tool. He made a new one, hosted on his website, which might hopefully be hosted on our webspace soon and integrated directly into the forums. The link is avaliable here:

Currently, he is also working on other online assembly tools as well. Progress on the entire project is avaliable in the following topic:

Another news involving past TI community history: As most users of our IRC channel (and some other people) know, #omnimaga logs from May 18th 2009 to Today were avaliable online until a security flaw was found a few months ago. Now that it has been fixed, the logs are back online, parsed in a new format.
However, not only are the logs back online, but soon, older logs from as far as October 2005 will also be avaliable soon. I sent them to him tonight. Because some are in Eggdrop and X-Chat format, he will need to convert them to his parser script format, so some might be glitchy when displaying. Also, keep in mind that until July 5th 2007, the channel was not logged 24/7, so the old logs misses most activity that might have occured at night. Some timezones might also be innacurate in some of the new logs. Also, remember that between February 15th 2006 morning and July 20th 2009 afternoon, the channel was located on Dragon-Fire/United-TI network instead of EFnet. The new link to the #omnimaga logs is avaliable below:

Cool stuff. ;)
-
mIRC and Eggdrop logs are now properly parsed. :D
And, yes, I wouldn't trust timestamps in most of the logs. DJ is in a different timezone, and the time was 6 hours off on my server for an unknown length of time.

edited out my question. I'm a moron - I need to learn to read better.
They should write something to decompose BASIC into hex opcodes. That way, it can be assembled as an ASM program. :P
-
Well the only problem is that it wouldn't work that way... Basic is interpreted, not run...but if they were to make a asm program that would have all the basic commands in it and it would just call them in order
-
There are BASIC to ASM softwares, even C to ASM ones, but they produce huge and horrible code that isn't faster
