Title: Handy way to guarantee a RAM clear on Nspire's 84+ emu.
Post by: willrandship on April 04, 2011, 11:54:28 pm

I'm not 100% sure it doesn't clear archive on some OSes, but it only gives RAM clears on OS 1.4 and I think OS 1.7.

When your calc crashes in an infinite loop, pull out the keypad, and insert it like the CAS/touch ndless 1>1 method used to do. Turn on the calc, and remove a battery while it's on. I personally guarantee it won't be in the loop anymore, but it might still clear your archive on some OSes, I think 2.0 does.  <_< Still, it's a handy way to not lose a big project!

Insert the keypad at an angle Like so:

            d
          p
        k
Calc on back

It will still turn on, and you can pull a battery. The OS will reboot and do a RAM clear

No interest? I've found it very useful, considering the frequent crashes

:P I guess that's an excuse.

Don't you love buggy emulators without savestates?
