I think it would be a waste of money to spend anywhere near 130 for a sound card. Unless you're running crysis on top of Minecraft, the removed load will be unnoticeable. As for audio quality, I highly doubt that it will noticeably improve. Human ears are... insensitive. You'd be better off improving the speakers/ headphones

So... Can we get a demo program to try out or is it too dangerous?

No, it's an integer double word. What happens is that it sign extends the double word in the EAX register to 64 bits and places the higher 32 bits in the EDX register. EAX retains the lower 32 bits of the quad (64 bit) word.

That's x86 code.
MOV: Moves data from one location in memory to another (could be registers or addressable space).
INT: Generates Interrupt
CMP: Compare
JNE: Jump if Not Equal
JE: Jump if Equal
JGE: Conditional Relative Jump (I'm not sure of the specifics)
JMP: Jump...
JL: Jump if less than
CDQ: Convert Double to Quad
IDIV: Signed integer division

That's actually pretty slow compared to raw ASM. Keep in mind that even the slow 6MHz chip in the TI's are screaming along at 6 million cycles a second.

Ummm...that link is to a raycaster, which renders stuff quite differently from a polygon engine.
Depends on the particular polygon engine. In any case, it's example code for handling 3d objects. The only really significant difference between polygons and raycasting is how you detect them. Actually, now that I think about it, BenRyves' Nostromo demo used polygons.

Take a look at the link ztrumpet posted. Runer actually wrote out his texture code.

If and only if new OSes also overwrite the boot code. Needless to say, that's not exactly a desirable thing, for reasons previously mentioned by thepenguin77. However, I think the danger of the process could be somewhat mitigated if someone wrote a good alternative boot code and open sourced it.

The general rule of thumb that I follow is this: If it requires floating point math or more than four non-trivial math functions in the entire program, write it in BASIC or ASM. Otherwise, use Axe.

TI has essentially no legal case in this situation. Even if they wanted to go after BrandonW or thePenguin (which I doubt they do), they can't make a case against this. For once, the law is actually in our favor here because this hack allows us to actually remove all copyrighted code from the device. Previously, TI could have made a [tenuous] case against all 3rd party OSes because the boot code was still present.

While coding can definitely turn into a career, it's a rather tenuous link between custom designed calc languages and "real" programming, which is often vastly different. Also, you're assuming Rayquaza's dad is rational. As much as I hate to admit it, that's quite often a bad assumption to make. Thirdly, Rayquaza's dad is his legal guardian. That means that he can legally force Rayquaza to do pretty much whatever he wants. Going over to his house, being a stranger he's never met before and thus has little to no influence, and telling him that his parenting is faulty...? If he's like the majority of parents out there, he's probably going to be at least annoyed. It may even reflect badly on Rayquaza, leading to further restrictions of his privileges. Let Rayquaza handle it, since he has the advantage of influence over his father.
