[OTcalc] Z80-Hardware / Re: eZ80 Hardware Discussion

I don't think memory mapping is a good idea, unless you can quickly change the map.  It would also be nice to leave some of the RAM free, instead of committing some to the screen.
We would have to commit a buffer to hold screen data anyway. I don't see your point. Being able to change the memory address of the buffer on-the-fly would be good though.
Thats how TI-86 grayscale is done, they just had the interrupt switch which buffer the Display driver pointed at.

I thought we would have an lcd driver with native grayscale support.
Something with memory mapping would be nice as well, needing to interface the LCD for every change is a pita.

I would say 50 MHz.  KOS is multithreaded, people.
Lets not decide on an OS before we have the hardware set shall we. As cool as KOS is I think the OS should be built to the hardware not the other way around.

Well I'd say 20Mhz is plenty and will also be cheaper, run cooler, and use less power so I vote the 20Mhz.

The processor is going to be fast enough that we can just write an 8x emulator.
IMO this is the only practical way to do any sort of compatibility, and heck if you have enough ram and rom storage of a 83+ rom would be no issue.

since they're teachers, they don't want students playing games in class.
That said, not every teacher is against calc game dev, though. While Critor and Mic would not appreciate that their students play games instead of doing their school work, taking notes and listening in class, they are not against calc games in any way.
<late>I know one math teacher who did much to support calculator games, Dan E one of the coders for Block Dude and MOS is now a math teacher, imagine that.</late>

ASM / Re: Calc System Restore- Is it Possible?
« on: June 29, 2010, 01:12:08 am »
See omnicalcs Ram Recovery, though if you have an 84+ that is missing the extra ram you are out of luck, for that option. There is also the Archive Undeleter which can be found on ticalc.org if you search for it.

Eeems, if you ever have issues you can always poke me as well when I'm in the chan, I've been using Arch the longest methinks, and have gotten quite a few printers working with it as well. :P

Other Calculators / Re: TiLP and parallel cable on Ubuntu?
« on: June 11, 2010, 01:17:39 am »
It sounds like something else is trying to use your parallel port, perhaps cupsd or somesuch, maybe a lsof /dev/parport# to see if some app is using it. If not I will fire up X on my server and test out my Parallel cable once more.

General Calculator Help / Re: CalcSys

Calcsys is kinda like regedit for your calculator, it can both fix and totally break things if yoru not careful, but yeah any dev can tell you calcsys can be one helpfull tool.

I've started work on converting the GUI from glade to gtkbuilder which is causing more issues than I would have liked. While this change will most likely not be noticable to the users it will make the job of maintaining and improving the UI and the rest of tilp easier in the future. So far my changes mainly break things so I will have to wait before a new release for users to try can be made.

General Calculator Help / Re: How to get virtual calculator?
« on: April 26, 2010, 10:26:48 am »
Do you mean an emulator to be able to run a calculator on the computer? If so the best one IMHO would be WabbitEmu. It's normally located at Revsoft, but their site has been down for 3 weeks, so you have to download the copy we have http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=488

You need to get a calculator ROM image, though, which we cannot provide link/help finding them, due to legal reason. It is possible to dump one from your calc, however, using Rom8x on ticalc.org: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/373/37341.html

If you absolutely don't want to have to use ROMs, one emulator won't require any, but it's very crappy. The link is http://education.ti.com/educationportal/downloadcenter/SoftwareDetail.do?website=US&appId=177
You can also use the .clc file installed with the emulator from Ti's site with wabbit and then you get a good emulator with a free rom.

TI-Nspire / Re: CAS OS on Standard TI-nspire [development idea]

The ACT uses capabilities to disqualify it so yeah it would affect that test but not the SAT.

Edit: yeah I had it backwards, fixed

Axe / Re: Shifting Order
« on: April 11, 2010, 09:13:17 pm »
wouldn't seq(L1(X),X,2,7)->L1 be faster than the for loop?
Except this is in the axe parser subforum and I'm not sure if axe has a sequence command. Other wise yes that would be the better solution.
