I've released a 1.1 update to this library (and replaced the attachment in the first post).
The only change this makes: it now uses xkcd's built-in JSON interface rather than the RSS feed to get the latest comic number. This is good for two reasons:
1. It removes the third-party dependency (you now only need Python 2.x)
2. It stops the script from breaking when the RSS contains things other than comics in it (as it occasionally does).

Mhmm about XNA one cool thing is that you can make your games for the Xbox 360 in the process, reaching a larger audience. The only issue is that developing for the 360 is not free, unlike for the PC. Does XNA allows for Linux compatibility, by the way? (or at least modifying the source with another software to make it Linux compatible)
Through projects like MonoXNA, yes.

Well, since apparently the ticalc.org RSS system is a little screwy (according to Travis on Cemetech), I've decided to release 0.8 now. The full changelog:
-Added a fake "install" command that does the same thing as "get"
-Added an option to search by file extensions (like .zip or .tar.gz)
-Added an option to extract all .zip archives on download, named like:
"83plus-asm-games-generate-zip"
-Added an option to only print the version and then exit
-Clean command will now remove files created by the extraction option
-Fixed a bug when using the get command with search options where it downloaded as if the opts weren't specified
It's currently attached to the first post of this thread; when it gets through the Cemetech/ticalc.org download queues you will be able to get it there.

O.o
Oh wow, this is amazing.
Are there any Linux distros that can fit in 2.3 MB? I know TinyCore requires 10 MB of space, and that's one of the smallest...

I would use functions like "fwrite", "fread", "fopen", "fclose", etc: if VC++ 2010 doesn't support them, MSDN is a liar.  There's an example on the MSDN page for fread.

What's SMP?
"Survival Multi Player" For some reason, the main Minecraft game mode (i.e. the only one playable in Beta) is called "Survival": probably to distinguish it from the "Creative" mode found in Classic (where you cannot die). Hence, SSP is Survival Single Player and SMP is Survival Multi Player. In addition to Creative, another game mode ("Adventure") is rumored.

I've had it happen as well (as probably have most people who've ever played SMP).
Though it's really fun when a chunk is unloaded over a minecart track. Since minecarts run on the server and not on the client (and since the chunk bug is a client problem)... you fly through the chunk riding the minecart.

So... I know I haven't worked on any of my projects for ages: you can thank a certain game called Minecraft for that. I've been thinking about Netham's idea of using the RSS to update, though. What I could do is add a "check" command which will read the RSS feed on the site. If the last file on the RSS feed is known (is found in the index), it will then go through the RSS, find all new files and add them to the local database. The downside of doing this? I'd need to add a dependency- the feedparser module. It's a third-party Python library for RSS manipulation, and I'd need it to look at the entries in the feed. And I know dependencies can be annoying... As for other things to add, one idea could be something with automatic extraction. Perhaps an opt to unzip all archive files it downloads? Or maybe even a search op to let you specify the file extension (search only for .zip and not, say, .tar.gz for Linux software, or only for Linux software). The only reason I use ticalc.org rather than this sometimes is when I want to look at reviews- something this program doesn't show you. I'd want to add an "info" command to post a link to the file info page... unfortunately I'm not sure what the best way to get the file info page would be- the index file only has the direct link to the file. Any ideas?

I believe (though I'm not sure) that msd8x will only work on the older TI-84+ calculators with extra memory (older hardware revisions). Your calculator, if it's new, likely does not have the extra memory.
Again, I'm not entirely sure though.

I have...
A TI-83+ with a broken link port
A TI-89 Titanium (my main calc)
A TI-84+ Silver Edition (with DoorsCS, of course)
My dad has an HP-48 (SX I think?) and maybe another HP graphing calculator too. I've never played around with them.

The reason there's no need to have a ROM file is likely because the emulator is being distributed with the ROM embedded.
This is probably why he said he wouldn't make a TI-83+ or TI-84+ one because TI still sells those calculators.
A WabbitEmu port would be better, of course, but I think this is still pretty interesting.

So- I was a bit surprised not to see anything about these here (instead, I saw them on an Android news site). Though I suppose I could have missed something, I haven't been that active lately. Android developer Doug Melton has recently released emulators for the TI-83, TI-82, and TI-85. ( This is the 86 one). They're ports of the "AlmostReal TI emulators" according to the news article- not really sure what that means though, I'd never heard of such an emulator before. I'd try one out on my Captivate, except the devices do require Android 2.2 (which I don't have  ). Has anyone else seen these or fooled around with them a bit?

To answer the original question(s). It does handle 404, because all Internet access runs in a try-except block, and it simply skips over 404 if it fails. It can't be changed to use other websites, because it depends on the way xkcd works- the page encoding saying "direct link to comic", the RSS feed, and the page numbers for comics: "xkcd.com/843".

Wow. Except for the fact that you would have been dead (and lost your 64 diamond pickaxes) .

What about IronPython? http://ironpython.net/It's Python integrated with the .NET framework. You can use a Python module (script/library) from a C#/VB program using IronPython.
