I live in Serbia (I am a Serbian-American), where graphing calculators are absolutely unheard of except among students in the American international school. In my city, which is located 199 kilometers from the capital, I decided to show off my TI-84+SE. Normally I don't take it to school, but extra physics classes are an exception. Kids started crowding around me as I demonstrated flappy bird, Wolfenstein83 and other games. I started bragging about KermMartian's web browsing achievements. The minute I mentioned that, my physics professor raised his head and asked '' Internet?!?!?! ''. To make matters even funnier, as I was leaving the classroom for a moment, that same professor started fiddling around with my calc without my permission. Everyone was behaving as if they had seen the '' God of Calculators'' or something of that nature. My calc also circumnavigated the entire planet and is now enjoying fame among my classmates. Of course, if I return to the USA, I will probably be told that my calc sucks because of the monochrome display.
P. S. Keep in mind that 95% of the students in my school are low-IQ trash gangsters who abuse me and other smart kids.

Is it theoretically possible for TiLP to be ported to Android and to use the USB OTG connection to communicate with a calculator? I assume that wouldn't be too hard since Android is Linux-based. Any thoughts? This would be helpful because I don't have computer access 24/7 and I need programs from my calc to be used in WabbitEmu (or if I download something from a repository with my phone, to send that directly to a physical calculator).

Update: My two-program package is on ticalc.org :-) http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/468/46852.htmlAlso works on a CSE (tested in wabbitemu). Screen resolution doesn't affect it. Just make sure you have default window settings. Should also run on the CE. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the help and info. Omnimaga is SO MUCH better and more helpful compared to Cemetech.

Version 2.55MP (this should be understood). I will at some point resend the OS. I have countless times had malicious ASM cause corruption. Normally it shows ROM FAIL. Now it doesn't. Sometimes some software works fine in the beginning, and then has unfixable issues. I suspect that the calc may be nearing its end of life (at least the flash ROM). I hope I am not wasting your time. :|

123outerme: did this already when I took the PSAT.
Eeems:
I have DCS, Calcsys, MolWght, Zoom math and a few TI apps.
ticalc.org denies virus presence in that app. I don't know asm so I can't inspect the code. I had all sorts of wjacky issues for over a month, including not being able to send it anything via USB.

IIRC to be able to overclock an 83+SE/84+/SE you'll need to add a resister to some pin on the CPU. After that, as @Eeems pointed out, a lot of things might be unstable if you actually overclocked the CPU.
The z80 itself is designed to run at up to 24MHz, which you'll be able to do with overclocking, however, the OS itself will always slow down the clock speed all over the place, so you'd only have a performance boost in dedicated ASM programs which take use of it.
A very important thing where NOT to overclock is when writing to flash, as the flash controler is too slow to handle the overclocked calc. This may be the reason why TI limited the clock speed to 15MHz
Well, to bad TI complicated this... Now I have to spend extra time optimizing BASIC programs. I have alot of lingering questions about my TI84+SE, so here they are:
1.Which ASIC does my revision M TI84+SE have? (and is it the same as the one in the CSE?)
I'm not sure, someone who's looked into the hardware revisions would have to answer.
2.Why do some programs disappear from the VAT or completely from the calc (in which situation Archive Undelete won't find them).
You'll have to give us some more information on when this happens.
3.Why do funny visual artifacts appear on my screen occasionally.
Could you explain what you are doing when this happens?
4.Is there an antivirus for my calculator? I have had nasty viruses in the past (deleting virus files when they appeared in
the RAM along with OS reinstalls fixed it eventually)
Not really. There isn't enough resources to handle this properly. Just review the code before running it. Could you link us to this virus so we can do some proper analysis on it?
5.Can my calculator be overclocked?
Yes, but you can potentially break your calculator if you do so. Usually it gets unstable if you overclock it, and most things are designed around it's normal clock speed.
6.Is there a way to to make the OS allow access to extra RAM pages? (Pterodactyl can do this on the TI86)
You could write your own OS for it. The extra ram pages are quite often used by assembly apps/programs though, so it's not really recommended to try to get TI-OS to use them. Plus that would require a lot of work.
7.Are overclocked calcs allowed on the SAT/PSAT?
I have no idea
1.Probably KermMartian or Tari (both from Cemetech) has that info. :-P 2.At the random, typically occurs during periods when I frequently garbage collect. 3.Also randomly... Worse manifestations happened when I had viruses on my calc. 4.I meant virus scanner, not a pc style background AV program. The virus showed up after using one specific app ( http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/309/30917.html) There were strange files such as ''HACK'' and others. Memory menu had infinite up scroll.

Thanks alot. Already started building a new program from this. This is so much better and faster than my bloatcode.

Thanks alot! Will definitely look into customizing this (if I can understand the code...).  To bad i don't have a color calc, because then the artwork would be better.

Stop
If I were to make a fast version of this program, what should I do? I am currently using KermMartian's book to learn TI-BASIC, but I am still stuck. Also, I assume running this on a TI84+CSE would surely be a horrendously crappy experience (try it yourself if you have a CSE).
Edit (Eeems): added code tags

Could someone tell me what the best way to randomly generate lines,points,pixels,etc... on a TI-84+ in TI-BASIC? I have gone through many different attempts and it usually involved taking and modding a portion of Hex2Sprite and then adding quite a bit of my own code to randomize coordinates (randInt operations) and draw what I need (I think my code is the slow part, but the programs are too long to post here.). Is there an alternative method to mine or is this the fastest I can get without attempting to OC my calc to 25-30MHz?

« on: January 15, 2017, 02:15:20 am »
No, I thought that program was needed only on the TI-83+. What causes these issues anyway?
UPDATE: I downloaded this fixer and now the problematic games work WITHOUT problems. Thanks alot!!!!!! I am hoping to one day find out what the hell causes this (detailed answer with all info you know, please...).

I don't have exactly enough time to get that and post it here. I may post the screenshot and/or program at some other time. Please understand that I have huge time limits and am very busy.
EDIT: Should be soon on ticalc.org. I think I named it ''Calculator Art Package 2017'' (it contains 2 programs). If you have access to an overclocked calc running at 20MHz or more, use that. :-)

Would someone explain why TI83+ ASM programs like Maze 3D II( http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/272/27287.html) , TI Linux,etc... Have issues on my revision M TI84+SE. This has annoyed me alot and I hope it can be fixed for once... Best case is if it just slants the image or even twists it, and worst case is total or near total instability or even not wanting to run at all (freezes calc). Best regards, CalcMax
