fred30w, it looks like the reason Kirby's Dream Land was crashing for me was a glitch I accidentally introduced in the development version. Beta 0.1.07 seems to run the game fine. Are you using the latest version of wabbitemu from http://wabbit.codeplex.com/?
Thanks calc84maniac!  Kirby runs great now!  I appreciate you bringing to my attention the update for WabbitEmu.  I'm not sure if this is a bug with WabbitEmu or the emulator, but now Kwirk runs super slow.  I know game compatibility is not your goal at the moment, but on TIBoy 1.03, the game ran fine.  Sound slows the game even further.  I would be more than happy to make one of the calc screen videos but I don't know how.  Can you explain to me how you do that?

Thank you very much Freyaday! ;D  I've got both videos as a side by side comparison between versions of the emulator running Kwirk.  Please note that the gif is a tad slower in fps.

TIBoy 1.03


TIBoy 1.07


I'm not sure how long these gif's will stay valid as I cannot attach to the forums yet.

Hmm, it seems Kwirk was one of those games that sometimes polls the hardware to check the LCD drawing status. Now I seem to have fixed the issue by toggling the status at every scanline.

Sounds good, can't wait for the next release, hope I helped you find a bug. ;D

LUCKY ME!!!  I just aquired another TI 84 SE, this one has the Extra RAM Pages! :w00t:  Revision S-0505D.  I know this is a bit offtopic, but why does it seem that this older calculator seems more snappy than my new one (rev. P-0410P).  For example when the ram is cleared, its almost instant on this old one, but it takes about 1 sec longer (there is the progress bar on the top right for a sec) to clear the ram on my new one.  What causes this?  I can always make a video if you need one.

That ram clear delay is probably due to the calculator scanning the archive for all of your variables and programs. On an empty calculator, that takes no time at all.

If the battery was empty then the calc isn't broken, right?

Well, if TI-Boy doesn't exit properly, the OS becomes corrupt. Resending it should make it fine again.

Annoyingcalc, are you sure? TI-Boy shouldn't be unlocking the boot code and modifying it. There's no need for it to have that ability.
Are you able to successfully reinstall the TI-OS?

Did you send it from another calc or from a computer ? For me it always fail when sending from another calc.
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

That doesn't really help. How does it fail? Have you tried pulling a battery and re-inserting it while pressing DEL to start the boot code?
Does TI-Connect/TiLP even begin to send the OS?
To summarize, where and how does it fail?

from calculator it gives an err validation and from computer the calc never recieves the os (but my cousin is back in Oregon but I m going to email him anything) I might just tell him to sign up (he would be emanb29 or something like that)
