I just got my new 84+SE in the mail!! WOOT!
(It was weirdly placed in my mailbox...)
The video MAY still being processed...
-
What OS does it have?
-
2.55MP ?
And youtube froze on me so video wont be up for a while...
-
You know you can still find 2.43 in the Singapore version of TI's website?
Also, what happened to your old calc?

No I didn't and my old one got stolen ;.;
-
What was your old calculator?
-
A REALLY old 83+SE.
-
If I had to pick between the 83+SE and the 84+SE, given the necessary link cables, then I would pick the 83+SE.
-
What is the video by the way? Is it just a video of your calc or some games running? Also glad you got a new calc. Please be careful with this one, though: Don't leave it on your school desktop unnatended while asking questions to the teacher. I always put my calc in my pockets when possible.
-
Lol I do that too XD
-
Yes, you are lucky that you were able to get a replacement. I don't know if most of our members parents would have bought them a replacement. Graphing calculators aren't exactly the cheapest thing to replace, although ebay does have decently priced used ones sometimes. Make sure to keep up with this one better! =)

It's what I normally do, but I did get my 83+SE back :D
Kinda weird guy that gave it back to me though o.o...
And the video was supposed to be me opening the package containing the 84+SE and then accidentally cutting my finger with the knife, as I always seem to do when opening closed things xD.
-
Wait, your 83+SE was stolen then returned? O.O Wow, you are quite lucky. Not only did you get a replacement, but you now have your original calc back as well.

o_O
There must be some reason(s) I don't know about ....
-
The TI-83+SE has no crappy MP that TI is goading their users to have, due to the greater amount of TI-83+BE users.

If you don't like it, downgrade to 2.43
-
I already did, but TI wants us to use 2.55 MP. Also, I feel much happier using 2.43. Also, the TI-83+SE looks a lot better than the TI-84+SE.
-
Other than crappy bugs (Enter a fraction in math print and multiply it by another fraction, it glitches the whole screen and needs a ram reset to fix)
Why is math print bad?
-
(I'm no z80 user, so the information below might be incorrect)
I think it's because it slows the device extremely much down, and introduces bugs causing the device to be less stable.
-
It causes some strange errors with some ASM programs (mostly display issues, I think) and causes slowdowns sometimes. Some of the slowdowns were related to using Outuput with BASIC. At least one command that had unintended secondary effects was changed. There was one BASIC command used with Text sprites which programmers used to reset one of the system flags. After the update it no longer affected the flag. I think there was a thread somewhere around here summing things up, but basically they did a quick hack job to implement the features IIRC and the results were that it was buggy.
-
Wha, I want a 84+SE :(
-
A TI-83+SE is better. What do you have, though?
-
Only a ti 84+, and why would be a 83+se better than a 84+se ?
-
The TI-83+SE has no MathPrint OS because of its slower cousin TI-83+BE, so although you could just use 2.43, TI is never going to release MP for the 83+. Not to mention that the 83+SE looks better than the 84+SE.
Also, you use zStart? Have you experienced any crashes while using it?
-
Yeah, i use zstart, but it doesn't crash to me.
And you could just downgrade the OS, and who cares how the calc looks like?
-
Yeah, you can just avoid MathPrint by putting OS 2.43 on a 84+SE, where is the problem ? ???
Also, the 84+SE has interchangeable faceplates ;)
(but they are sold separately)
-
There is really little difference between the two. The 83+SE has a clear casing. The 84+SE has a mini USB port and a real time clock. That's really about it.
-
Isn't the prozessor and ram of the 84+SE larger than of the 83+SE?
-
Nope, both 15 mhz. Both 1.5MB flash archive.
-
I meant RAM, not flash
-

All 83+SEs have 128 kB RAM. Old 84+(SE)s have 128 while newer ones only have 48. However, the amount of user memory is 24 kB on all of them.
-
why did they take out a ram page? The 84+SE should have more RAM IMO than the 83+SE...
-
Is it possible to mess with stuff and get some of the OS RAM into the user RAM?

I don't see why none of the Custom oses for the 84+(SE) have done this, at least not that I know of.
-

Because I think TI wanted to cut down the price of production even more while keeping the same sales price, and the fact that since the user RAM is only 24kb anyways they thought the extra RAM was unnecessary.

The thing is,
Why would they need to cut down prices they buy it for?
They already only pay $5 for the hardware and turn a 9001% profit on it. (Exaggeration, of course.)

I think most of them do that, actually. They're free to use RAM for whatever purpose they want to (except for executing code, which is normally forbidden on some pages).
-
I don't know why TI decreased the amount of user RAM from the 83 to the 83+ and made it the same on the 84+...
