Introduce Yourself! / Re: New user

Hello Thanos, welcome to Omnimaga! What brings you here? We are a community of hobbyist with varying intrests and skill levels. There are quite a large variety of project going on here ranging from emulators on limited hardware (a gameboy emulator on the 83+/84+ platform) to Axe parser (a brand new compiled language that can be programmed on calculator in the BASIC program editor), a 4 color video player (on b&w hardware), and hardware projects like a game controller that connects to the calculator! Therde are many games such as a minecraft 2d, clone , doom ports, and many others. I hope you find many things to perk your interest. Cemetech.net is another similar site that I'd recommend checking out. The owner, Kerm Martin is an EE as well as a programmer and has done some cool stuff ther as well.  Sorry for this post looking a bit jumbled, but i'm posting from my phone. ;)
Hello Art, just checking on ideas and applications for calculators.  I got my hands on a casio fx-cg10 (color screen) and wanted to see what can be done before I open it and start thinkering with the hardware. The nice display gives me ideas (the native software is slow), so I want to see if the unit is viable for other applications. I'll check what KM has done.  I'm sure as a EE/programmer he's already gone through some of the stuff I want to check (why reinvent the wheel?) ;)

Hey there!
TI-89 I hear? Do you also own one? I'm always interested when someone does, because sadly enough nobody works on those kind of calcs anymore.

Sadly no.  I leased it for a semester back when in college.

Welcome! What brings you to Omnimaga? It seems like you have quite a bit of experience in assembly already. There's also a language called Axe that's pretty popular around here. Do you have any projects in mind?

Also, here's some more peanuts ;):
!peanuts

Thanks guys, love peanuts :D

Projects in mind? Not many at the moment that involve calculators, but who knows, something may come to mind :D

To 3rik: I'll check that link, thanks!

Just my introduction, new member here.  I've only programmed calculators in basic before, but I am an EE with 20+ years experience programming microcontrollers in assembly. I feel sorry I never learned C or any of its derivatives, as it seems to be prevalent everywhere, but can't stomach the syntax  ;D I need to get over that. I've used TI-83+, 84+, 89 and many Casios, including cg10.

Thanks to the dedicated members that keep giving great utilities to use for the calculators  8)

Casio Calculators / Re: G3P picture files on the calculator

Hello, welcome to the forums, you can introduce yourself here :)

Concerning this tool, people are aware of it. But there was a huge debate about this because this converter is exactly what Casio doesn't want, and no one would like the Prizm to become a closed platform, as the Nspire is.
Moreover, bumping an old thread is not advised, as the one who started the topic is often less active.
And double posting is also discouraged. You can use the edit button if you have to add something to your post :)

(and excuse me if my sentences make no sense, I am French)
Sorry about the double post: Deleted.  I didn't know it was an old thread and I was checking to see if there was an alternative to the tool I am using, not my intent to bump anything, perhaps the unintended double post made it seem that way. 

Glad to see people are aware of  it.  I was looking for an alternative because the files for this tool are BIG. The picture is usually twice the size of the jpeg.

And your English is very good! :) (English is my second language, btw)

Heya and welcome here. Something I wonder is if a community member is planning to create such converter or even something like mViewer on the Nspire, which lets you view BMP pictures? On the prizm we don't even need to rename extensions when transfering stuff to them from what I remember, although I worry Casio might add protections if we ever had a custom converter or even a different format.
There is a viewer/converter deal at cemetech that I downloaded.  The PC program converts jpeg files to the format the viewer program for the cg10 uses (you have to add the program to the casio menu). Sorry I don't have a direct link. Beats the teacher only program since it works on the cg10, although I would like the official version since that one supports animations.
