wait, what are Trial Apps?
Back when you used to have to pay for apps, people would make apps that would only run a certain number of times and then delete themselves.
(These are also the type of Apps that Axe makes.)
AXE doesn't make permanent apps? (i've never made an app)

You have to send them to the computer, sign them, and send them back in order to make them stay longer than 16ish runs.

I knew about the whole signing issue, but I didn't know that was why it mattered. :P

I wonder how TI will respond to the Boot 1.03 protection bypassing/breaking?

Don't count on it. After all they upgraded to 2048 bit keys for the CX :P

EDIT: Actually as a gift they will probably upgrade to 4096 bit keys <_<.

Awesome program btw.  I'll keep this thread in mind ;D

They are focusing too much on blocking us than their main target -- students.  Students and teachers want a fast calculator that can boot up quickly and calculate expressions within fractions of a second.  Most students, even on the relatively open 83+ family, did not play games.  Those who do play games are tech savvy enough to find an exploit or use an already existing program.  TI is shooting themselves in the foot: they are making it harder for students to use and pushing hobbyists away from TI brand calculators.

Yeah the boot time annoys me. Granted, you can disable hibernation mode so the boot never happens, but then your battery get drained faster while the calc is turned OFF.

On the Prizm there isn't even a boot delay, except you have to configure the calc the first time you turn in ON. The only delay is when turning it OFF, where you see the CASIO logo for about 3 seconds.
