Hello,
I am looking for a portable version fof the ti-nspire student software
(to put on a usb)
Even a program to just transfer files will work
Thanks for the help!
:angel: :thumbsup:

TiLP should probably do the job... but since I don't use it, I don't know. http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/

TiLP isn't portable, unfortunately. :/
I think there was an attempt at some random site like two five years ago, but it never came out.
-
On Windows, TI-Connect, TINCLS, TINCS and TILP require drivers; that makes them harder to convert to portable programs.
-
Can't you call the drivers via some program on the usb drive?
-
Not without installing those drivers, AFAICT. Portable programs (e.g. Portable Firefox, among others) are made not to require any installation step; TI-Connect / TINCLS / TINCS / TILP would require an installation step, due to drivers (and registering file types, and various other stuff).
-
Hm..with nspire Usb stuff starting to become real might it be possible to have some sort of plug-and-play thing? Even if instead of acting like a flash drive it's made to interface with a specific computer program to make it simpler..
(or just plug a flash drive into the calc, but then there's problems getting that sort of adapter for some people)
-
We're probably months away from the moment the Nspire can transfer files both ways without having to install a driver, which requires the calculator to be able to expose itself as a well-behaved Mass Storage Device (like the Prizm), or whatever other suitable standard USB class (maybe PTP ?).
And on the calculator side, it would require a Ndless-capable, USB-capable version of the OS, and Ndless-based programs - which will first need to be transferred by a non-portable software which requires drivers :)

How do you mean "months" ? As in "in a relatively shore time" or as in "it will take moooonths, very long ?
