Title: A 83+ with 1400 Ko !
Post by: kindermoumoute on January 26, 2011, 10:12:01 am: Since recent weeks, my 83+ display I've 1400Ko in my flash memory :

Sure that's a joke, but I think my problem come from my axe game "a present at any price (http://ourl.ca/8865)".

Axe still holds surprises...

If it is, garbage collecting and a few other things will crash your calc. But this doesn't seem right... I think the 83+ doesn't have more than 1 MB of total flash memory (including OS, certificate, and swap sector), but I'm not sure.

My calc was very stable, that is just a wrong the numberdisplayed. So GarbageCollect worked.

There was a way to add 80 isk KB of archive to your calc on OS 1.12 apparently, but it went away when garbage collecting or doing a reset and you could no longer install apps.

I meant how the OS displayed 1440 KB as "1440K", meaning it was made with more flash in mind.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 01, 2011, 11:37:55 pm: I bet OS 1.12 can't display that, though, because it was made 2 years before the 83+SE came out, unless TI was really planning this long in advance.

In fact, the TI-83+ FlashROM chip is 512Kb (160Kb archive).
The TI-84+ FlashROM chip is 1Mb (480Kb archive).
And the TI-83+SE/84+SE FlashROM chip is 2Mb (1.5Mb archive).

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 02, 2011, 07:16:08 pm: If only KnightOS would get finished... this would become something like 400 KB archive on the 83+, almost 1 MB on the 84+ and almost 2 MB on the 83+ SE/84+SE, some of which would also have 48-128 KB of RAM. :love:
