Well, Mirage is quite nice as it is right now; its small, fast, featureful, and bug-free, so there's really no point in making a new version.
What annoyed me about DCS was that it shows all programs by default. At one point, I had something like 70+ programs on my 84+, so things became rather hard to manage.

I often use Mirage too, but it's because I started calc stuff back when it was starting to obsolete Ion but was still the only alternative shell that was good, then I got used more and more to it.

There was a MOS 1.3 in the works a few years ago, but I don't know what happened to it. http://www.detachedsolutions.com/forum/t/1934/

In 2008 a fake news was posted on ticalc about a beta being out in their archives, but the page contained a rickroll :P (Later removed and the news link edited to go directly to the rickroll)

That beta release looks very interesting. Too bad its been 6 years since the beta testing, so its impossible to get it anymore :(. Does anyone here still have a copy (not that I'm asking anyone to post pirated copies of Mirage OS, of course)?

I wouldn't be surprised if BrandonW had one, since he worked on it for a while. You might need to PM him on United-TI or ask him in #ti channel (altough he might be idle)

He's crammed with schoolwork (exams and endterms and stuff) so it won't come out too soon.
He kinda still works on the UC3 tho, in his little spare time.

Christopher Mitchell (aka Kerm Martian) claims to be working on it, and he post about his progress in Cemetech occasionally.  Apparently its arriving in:

[MirageOS] is [...] bug-free

Sadly enough, it is not completely bug-free :P
I've seen it crash a couple o' times, but indeed, not very often.

There are a few things that annoy me about DCS as well, but there are not many, and most of them have been pointed out to Kerm, who is fixing them. I do think that DCS was intended to show all programs in order to be able to edit nostub BASIC (no, wait, that doesn't exist... but you get what I mean), and such, the problems are actually resolvable using the folder system.

Yeah, me too. But I guess some games are to be blamed for that too..
(don't mind my shitty English sentences, since I played for some months on a German server of some game, my English gets worse. And another factor is that I don't post too much anymore on forums like this.)

I know
At the moment all my time is used for school AND playing on a GTA; SA server (not the German one anymore tho). I'm the supervisor now in some virtual RP bizz' on it xd.

I try not to put any games on my calc, that's one distraction less in class.

The only thing I can program myself is some text games (have some concepts in my head) but then again, nobody needs more of those, so I don't make any.

I'd like to make a new Omnimaga video soon tho.

p.s. i tried to read the threads in their forum... but i could find any clues about when its really coming out and whats new about it... :( so thats why i am asking you guys!
I wouldn't be surprised if that's negative 1050 days, heh

Doors CS 7 needs to be cleaned up, maybe more support, icon editor... Grayscale?

Grayscale?

I'll be happy with what it will become in the end anyways.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of these.  Remember, despite how something looks, if it is an RPG and if there is story, it could still be an awesome game. ;D

Well, Mirage is quite nice as it is right now; its small, fast, featureful, and bug-free, so there's really no point in making a new version.
I have encountered two bugs with Mirage:
1. If a basic program Errors, the temporary data Mirage has put the program in (in RAM) will not be deleted.
2. Once Mirage + Portal + Pic1 in archive gave my friend's calc a RAM Clear when Portal hit the StorePic 1 line. ;D (Of course this is the friend who's calc I've RAM Cleared about 5 times. :D )

Also for the text games if someone likes the story, he could do a remake with graphics. After all, Drak had a text game a while ago then he did a remake with graphics and it sparked lot of interest afterward. Unfortunately he lost his progress x.x

Otherwise maybe there are some GB/GBC roms that are easy to hack. That would be a way to do stuff for calcs, since the Nspire got a GBC emu now :P
