After Martin Poupe's Casio FX-9860 SD video player (http://ourl.ca/8385), here comes a TI-84 Plus one by Thepenguin77! It doesn't natively supports sound but if you have two calculators you can convert sound files to audio format and use his TruSound application and simplay play the video on one calc and the audio on the other simultaneously, as demonstrated in his Youtube video below:
You can download video and audio examples below, but we recommend backing everything up before installing the video on a real calculator, because it still has some stability issues:

Meanwhile, apcalc is working on a video player as well, but for the TI-Nspire. An extremly large animated screenshot (4.3 MB) is located here (http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/NSPIREVIDEO0006.gif) and the topic about the video player can be found here (http://ourl.ca/9022). No download is available yet, though.

on-calc rickroll :love:
-
Goodness, you really had to do it sometime for real. >:D
-
Epic. The graphics are incredible. And it's got the sound and everything. And even then, the speed...
EDIT: Does it really have sound, though?
-
there is only the video. The sound comes from the other calc using trusound
-
Wow, the video is great! And the sound is as well!
-
Wait - it's possible to get that high quality sound from a calc? If I were to plug in my headphones to the calculator running trusound then started the program, I would be able to hear sound of enough quality to be able to distinguish words? I always thought calculators could only manage retro-style beeping noises.
-
This is awesome! I wonder how large the videos are on-calc, though. :P
-
The 84+ one is 1.2 MB I think. In other words, pretty huge. However with some compression they are probably reasonable in terms of size. Personally I wouldn't mind 6 FPS and drawing every two row for a calc movie, considering it's just a calc after all.

Right now, with the Nspire player, I am only drawing 1/5th of the frames produced by SUPER, and I can just barley notice a difference from when I played every frame. Doing this has drastically cut the size of the video files, without using any actual compression techniques. I wonder what it would look like if I only drew like every 10th frame? I'll have to try that now :) (New Video time!)

This is outstanding Thepenguin77!
Any plans to incorporate TruSound and the video player?
Ranman amazed!

Yep, we can get high-quality sound. At the expense of space, of course. :D

Yes, RealSound does this. I have not used TrueSound before
-
TruSound was just my attempt to get sound to work on calculators missing the extra ram pages. (Actually, it was the final product of my older, never released sound programs, of which the first was 1 bit sound). Also, I don't like to use things I didn't make, so I wouldn't let myself use a sound program that wasn't created by me.

Yeah the issue was that in 2007 TI changed the TI-84 hardwares, removing 80 KB of extra RAM from the 128 KB in it. However, we only discovered this in late 2009, after many people couldn't run TI-Boy SE on their calc. These people couldn't run RealSound, MSD8x, Omnicalc virtual calc/restoremem and other programs using the extra pages either. Thepenguin77 basically made a sound player that runs on calc that only have 48 KB of RAM instead of 128.
-
excuse my language but this is FUCKING AWESOME. I CANNOT wait until I get to school and show of this epicness!!!!!!!!!! Now to wait for it to have sound :P
-
Hey, I saw this and thought this was so amazing I had to join and say so. But, Just one quick question. The video file is 3 MB in size. The TI-84+SE only has 2 MB on memory. How did you get it on your calculator?
-
Heya and welcome here! I hope you enjoy the forums. :)
8xk files are generally twice larger on the computer than the calculator. On the computer they are in hexadecimal format, while on the calculator they're squished into machine language. This basically means that the video is twice smaller on-calc. In this case, if I remember, it's 1.3 MB large (although on the calc it only displays 6 of the digits).
-
Thanks a lot!
Now I just need to go get myself a Silver edition, my regular TI-84 plainly isn't up to the task.
-
Yeah a regular 84+ will only be suitable for extremly short videos and music files. There's always MSD8X but it won,t work on most newer 84+ calculators.
Of course there's always Mobiletunes and such music softwares, but if you want real music then you pretty much need a TI-84 plus SE. :P
-
Don't all original 84+s have all 128K? I thought it was just SEs that could have it be missing...
-
Nah, the newer 84+ calcs also got missing RAM.
-

You're thinking of ram. Ti-84's made after 2007 have less ram. what was it like 48k.
@Admiral-Bell be sure to introduce yourself in the introduce yourself forum if you plan on remaining active here ;D

wait, wha? msd8x does not work on new calcs? I never knew that D:
sad :(

Yeah, it's the same RAM page problem as TI-Boy SE and Omnicalc.
-
If you buy a TI-83+ SE does it still come with the 128k of ram? Does TI still sell the TI-83+ SE
-

All 83+SEs have 128 KB RAM, but I don't think TI sells them anymore.
-
I was lucky to inherit my bro's old calc which had the RAM that TI took out in the later versions :)

83+SE were discontinued as of june 2008.
-
Do you think that TI-83+SE's were still being produced till then, or were they just selling out their stock? I thought they stopped making TI-83+SE once the TI-84+ came out.

In any case TI isn't selling them (officially) anymore :(

I bought mine last year on ebay. :)

Same here. Of course mine has a pesky hardware glitch, though...

In North America, the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition was discontinued during Summer 2004, immediately after the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition came out. They still sold replacement parts for a while, though. It was the shortest-lived calc in the market, I think, besides the TI-Nspire Clickpad/CAS Clickpad.
The TI-83+SE was pretty much a TI-84+SE that looks like a TI-83 Plus but is transparent and lacked an USB port and a clock.

How to convert a video to .8xk format?
-
google this "omnimaga Truvid thepenguin77"

google this "omnimaga Truvid thepenguin77"
Sorry,I can't find out the method of converting a video…
I can only find the example videos…
-
It might be somewhere in his topic, but I don't recall where. Truvid is the name of his video player so if there is a readme.txt available it might explain it in detail. I will try to find the program.
Welcome here by the way! :)
EDIT: Here is Truvid link but watch out because this page takes a long while to load: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/441/44100.html
