General Calculator Help / Re: [Q]Boot2 Flashing
« on: April 02, 2012, 08:17:31 pm »
Not easily for now, as no Ndless 3.1 Boot2 flashing and downgrade programs have been released for classic Nspire up to now.
In the article about the bootflasher that works with Ndless, it says:
For now, you can only use it on ClickPad/TouchPad Nspire with OS 1.7 or 2.0.1 (Ndless 2.0).
An update will be needed for Ndless 3.1 and CX calculators, but the hard part of the work is done

Will there be an update to the Ndless 2 boot flashing program for the classic Nspire on OS 3.1? I really need to have a way to downgrade my classic Nspire to OS 2.

Thank you,
sumarth

so how long do you all think it will be until Ndless for 2.0 is released?
(not pressuring, just asking)

I would like it on at least 1.6 or 1.7. I doN,t remember how good was the one right before that, though, but 1.6 or 1.7 would sure do the job for most people, since it alerady has more functions than 1.1 and people seemed to be fine with them.

i agree. A long as basic basic programs work and i can turn the calc off and on :)

Arggh! So this is TI's response to Ndless; instead of taking legal action, they just make a new Nspire.
I wonder if they will still sell the old non-touchpad Nspires.

Thats not really the way i see it. The calculator itself is exactly the same, except for colors.
And if you buy the new keypad, you can use it on old Nspires, and vice versa.
So really, i dont think it is a new Nspire, just a very slightly modified on.

What sucks is that you cannot use less than os 2.0 on the new revision, even if you use the old keypad.
And the maintenance menu thing, that seems to be a direct response to Ndless

Some things that definitely need to be done, off the top of my head, are:
1) Linking support (probably through the TI-84+ keypad)
2) Using .tns files to load/save the ROM
3) Saving the RAM and processor state upon exit, and loading upon start
4) Various TI-89 hardware that I simply have not implemented yet

cool!

How are dialog boxes very, very useful for math? The Nspire was meant to do math via user defined functions that take arguments. We can't have anything interactive without graphics commands in BASIC, anyway.

you cannot input new arguments during a program without dialog boxes.
I think there was a menu-like dialog box also. This way you dont have to write multiple programs to do tasks like conversion of format for linear equations, for example. Right now, i have 3 or 4 programs doing that in 1.7, but now in 2.0 i can make all these one.

if there cannot be ndless on 2.0, perhaps it would be fine if you ndless on an os that turns off and on, at least, and then the 89 emu

it would be very cool if we had a alpha or beta of "89emu4nspire"

Also note that the new version DOES have input in the form of a popup windows in Basic programs.

Very, very useful for math programs. This makes me want to ditch ndless and upgrade to 2.0, even if temporarily.
Mario ... or math?

Hmm ... we need Ndless for OS 2.0 ... i hate ti ... making my life hard.

Solution: calc84, we (or more like "I") neeeeed your ti-89 emulator for nspire

Also calc84, is it possible to just use ASM code to turn on the screen, instead of rebooting the os?

sorry if im saying stupid things, im not a programmer (yet, maybe after my 3 yrs of highschool compsci)

at least they haven't taken away the ability to downgrade ... i think i might upgrade ... no more gb(c) for me at school
