It's not overreacted because not everyone here is from US/Canada ...
And all others users have their right to complain.

PS: maybe if TI know all what I keep in my computer, and I was in USA probably could get jailed...

I have these ROMs:
73, 82, 83, 83 plus, 83 plus se, 84 se, 85, 86, 92

//(and trying to get 89,v200,nspires,84 plus se)

I have a installer of working version of TI interactive [cracked and modified] [1.3]

The original installer of TI interactive 1.3 with a serial//somewhat corrupted


Nspire 1.7 OSes  [CAS and non CAS]
//I know it's in their website now, but I am preventing for when they releases ndless 1.7 and TI take it off their website.

installer Nspire  1.6 CAS teacher software cracked.

And all what I bought was a nspire non cas...

edit: mail me instead of PM...

[PS if anyone know about the roms or nspire os 1.1 mail me because I  need to increase my archives] :D

Personally I don't think anyone overeacted. It would have been overeaction if the pages said that the product is discontinued in those countries. However, it blatantly said that production was stopped. If production stopped, how can they still provide new calcs to other countries?

Also let's not PM ROM links to each others. E-mail seems like a more secure way to do so, since PMs are stored into forum databases.

Why'd you ask, though? The ROM isn't available for download now either, anyway, because it's illegal. Except for the OS, which TI will almost definitely take off their website.

The ROM includes the following things:
- OS pages
- archive pages (160Kb on the TI-83+, 128 to 192Kb on the TI-73, 480Kb on the TI-84+, 1.5Mb on the TI-83+SE/84+SE)
- certificate page (16Kb)
- boot code page (16Kb)

* We can easily rebuild the OS pages from a 73u/8xu update file, which are freely distributed.
* We don't need the archive pages and may let them blank. They'll just have to be remormatted by doing a reset.

So the only thing that is preventing us from distributing "working" ROMs, is a little 32Kb (certificate and boot).
Ridiculous, isn't it ? ;)

Wow, so that 32 KB is what makes all the difference...

Well it depends in which country too. Some american TI sites got complaints from TI in the past for redistributing TI-83+ OSes, too.

That's why I love my country, I can redistribute almost everything without anyone complaining about it :D
And once again, TI can't beat torrents ;)
neither any kind of P2P...

I think it was Brazil or somewhere close. Canada used to be kinda lax on Internet laws and stuff like filming in theaters, but then companies complained at them  and they got stricter. I remember a torrent tracker getting blocked over here a few years ago.

Sadly, companies think they will lose billions of dollars due to emulation or they think $100-200 less in their pocket will ruin them. :P

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Very sad news.  :'(

I hope an 3rd party emulator on Nspire will keep the TI-84+SE development alive for new calculator users.
And we have accurate emulators and roms to all z80 calculators, so they can live almost forever.
