I'm sorry  to say you'll need a TI84+ Silver Edition for Pokémon
Kirby, Tetris and other smaller games should work tho

Though, if it really is an I, it won't work at all. The "1007", for October 2007, seems to be after the time of the hardware change anyway.

Yes, if we're right (up to now we ARE right), it won't work...

The I-hardware revision is too recent...


But it would be interesting to try, as if I remember well, we haven't had I-revisions for our tests...

We got FGH, and then JKL revisions.


Does anybody have finally figured out what's inside the TA1 chip?
(by asking TI... by exploding the chip... by testing it electronically...)

Not yet, the entire thing seems to have died down :(

I know on Omni this is less likely to happen, since everyone here are into game developpement, not hardware, but I hope someone in #tcpa like BrandonW or someone on UTI or Cemetech can discover the issue. I am really curious what RAM there is in it, in total

Before we know what happened to the RAM, BrandonW released in his website a routine to test if the calculator has the extra RAM pages.
http://www.brandonw.net/calcstuff/ramtest.zip

The test is simple but coming from Brandon, it should work...

Dr. DNar had written a working test too. (maybe brandon uploaded it to his site?)
Anyway, the fact that it  is on his site probably indicates the thing works.  ;D

Why hasn't calcmaniac84 updated the TI-Boy to test RAM and warn? >:(
hehehe just needing an excuse to use the emotion. xD

It would be nice to have such test. The warning on readme should be kept to prevent people delete almost or all archive to accommodate TI-Boy.

TI-Boy actually warns if you have a faulty hardware. At least, it does since version 0.3 Alpha

you probably don't have extra ram page. What is the hardware version? It's the last letter of the serial number found on the back of the calculator

If it ends with the letter H or higher, it's most likely a newer calc. If it has no letter or ends with A through G then it should normally work

it seems like TI has caused yet another awful mess, but this time on the Hardware side. I don't think they even did it intentionally! They probably noticed that for normal use no one ever stick much stuff in the archive anyways, and decided to save a few bucks by omitting some RAM pages from the ICs!

Nah I doubt they did that one to halt dev, because the TI-Nspire came out not long after and the Nspire actually emulates that 128 KB of RAM in 84 mode. They probably did it to reduce production costs, because, you know, $0.005 for an additional 80 KB of memory is A LOT for a big company like Texas Instruments :P
