It might be a good idea to maybe remove that link from your post afterward, though, just in case *glares at Omnimaga rules*, because after all this is a ROM dump, although in a rather unconventional form :P

I'm happy to tell you that the rare TI-81 1.5K ROM has been dumped, and saved from being lost forever.

Many thanks to the person who sent me the calculator, and to Floppus Maximus who performed the OCR on the videos I've been recording for hours.



Unfortunately, as it is not a v2 ROM, it cannot be added to the TI-Planet online TI-81 emulator :(.

But you can use it directly with WabbitEmu.

There should be a different skin depending on the ROM version since the newer 81s started having different designs XD
But then again that is slightly overkill.

As for my 81 ROM dump, have to wait a bit more sorry!
You just lost the game.

Hmm... I think I've asked this before somewhere, but after poking around for a while I can't seem to find it. What is the key sequence to check the ROM version on the TI-81(I'd like to check mine)?

By the way I was messing around with my TI-81 1.1K right now and funnily enough, filling the screen with black using Line( was actually faster than on a TI-83+. ;D

Also one thing I liked about the 81 is how when you used STO> it automatically turned ALPHA on so you don't have to manually press it to type a letter afterward.

Yes - The TI-85 used to do that too. :)

It's cool to see that there is still some interest (at least among community members) in the TI-81.  I got my hands on one recently, but it wasn't anything special in terms of ROM version (1.6K, made in August '91 without a backup battery :P).  It's great to see that people are preserving what is left, especially the rarer ones.
Cheers!
I beta test, so...yeah.  PM me if you want me to test anything :D.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades.

Cogito ergo sum.
