WFRNGOS to fix TI-Connect issues?
« on: January 13, 2011, 09:57:40 pm »
It has been reported that a recent TI-83 Plus OS remake of Nick Disabato's popular ticalc.org running gag might be a cure to TI-Connect linking problems that plagues people every now and then, especially with OS 2.55MP installed. After JosJuice replaced OS 2.55 MP with SirCmpwn's calculator OS version of the  game, TI-Connect started working perfectly again and this persisted after putting back a TI OS again:

[23:45:27] <+JosJuice> seems like WFRNG OS made TI Connect work again lol

Somehow, the TI community never stops amazing us.

As more technical details come in, we find that WRFNGOS handled USB by simply stalling the pipes.  Once TI-connect realized the pipes where stalled, decided to clean them out and issue a good reset to the control and bulk pipes.

Based on this information, I could easily make a repair OS.
Also, WFRNGOS FTW.

Couldn't you just do it with an ASM app/prog?

Yes, but I don't think the OS would only handle those issues.

WFRNG OS did solve my problems... But attempting to send TI-OS to the calc ruined it again (although the transfer started very quickly, because of the help from WFRNG OS). That attempt was unsuccessful, and I had to go to school... without a calc OS D:

Is this fake or this real? Eitherway, go WFRNG!

Nice, a repair OS like Sir said would be cool.

The WFRNG OS fix is actually pretty pointless, because TI Connect needs to be working in order to send WFRNG OS :P
And the effect seems to wear off as soon as the next transfer finishes or stops...
