Ah, THAT's what that was! I should have noticed that sooner. Of course it's Link, and that's his shield on the his back.
I wondered why I couldn't reset my OS. I was holding down the wrong keys. Thanks. As for NSpire8x, I already knew about that, but was just wondering which was a more successful way of installing.
I'm not usually behind on the "what." It's usually the "how" that I don't know about, if you understand.
I've heard that 2.0 doesn't work with NDless. It just figures that within days of NDless being announced on TIcalc, TI comes out with a new OS and new software, BOTH of which are supposedly incompatible with NDless.
edit:
I've got it working now.
Man, I've known it was coming, I've heard it was released, I've seen screenshots and videos, but still... I can't really believe it's in my hands now! Forget Heart Gold and Soul Silver, I'm going back to Crystal on my clac!
I should probably post on the new thread for the Nspire version, now, huh?
--------
BTW, the only one possible change I might make would to make the ctrl key the Start key. That way it would be symmetrical to the clear key for Select. I always have to remind myself that it's one key lower than I think. Is there any reason you made it the shift key? I thought it may be to make contrast changes in-game, but I found out that you can do that just by hitting the + and - buttons.

You got it to work? My NSpire won't boot now. It loads the operating system, goes past the clock, and then crashes and starts all over again. Do you know what's up? I can't seem to find a good troubleshooting guide anywhere.
Is it better to send NDless through an 84? I'd have to get my NSpire fixed either way to do it, but it would be nice to know which is better. Did you make the alternate build yourself? Or did you find it somewhere? If so, can you tell me where?
****Also, I noticed that the TI-Boy SE is depicted at the top of the Omnimaga page, along with the NSpire version of Mario Bros Deluxe. That must be quite an honor!

Congrats on making TIcalc's headlines again!
I'm having trouble getting ndless on my NSpire, but as soon as I do, I'll get the emulator.

I remember that he was using the emulator to start making the GBC emulator, but now he can actually /run/ it on calculators, right?
(What does "ninja'd" mean?)

So, there's a 3rd party software loader for the NSpire now? Is that what you need to make the TI Boy for the NSpire? :O That would be so cool!

Game test: I know that it's already been done, but... Harvest Moon GB: The game runs perfectly, but is quite slow. The sprites are pretty hard to see without the greyscale on, which slows things down even more. ---I'm just re-posting my old ones below here--- Bust-a-Move 2: Works fine Bust-a-Move 3: Works fine Bubble Bobble Part 2: Works fine Final Fantasy Legend: Freezes on title screen Pokemon Yellow: No-Go  Rats, I was hoping I could use this one. Final Fantasy Legend 3: No good either Pokemon Blue: No noticeable problems. It works the same as Red: Just a bit slow, but that's okay since it's not a fast paced game anyways.

Well, it's not quite that bad. TI-83+ Silver works, and TI-84+ works with smaller games.
I was referring to this post when I asked if you could tell ahead of time which games will work on older calculators. I was wondering if you could tell which games would work on 83+SE or 84+ calculators, not the 84+SE. I already know about that one.

Is there a way to determine ahead of time whether a game will work on the older calculators?

It's got my vote, too! I'm afraid that most people won't vote for it because they haven't been able to use it because they don't have a good enough calculator. It's a pretty slim margin. It has to be an 84, not 83, it has to be plus silver edition, and not just plus, It can't be the NSpire, and it has to be made several years ago. People will probably vote for their favorite program that they've been able to use themselves. Hopefully I'm wrong, though.

You can't run it unless you have pretty much all of your RAM free. If you archive it all your memory, you can do a RAM reset without losing any data. But then, that kind of defeats the point. Archived memory doesn't add to how much RAM you are using. When you use a shell like Mirage OS, it takes the parts out of the program that it needs to put into RAM automatically, just like a computer. If you archive something, the RAM is effected in the same way as if you deleted it.
It's a good habit to keep all your memory archived, since it doesn't do any good to keep it in the RAM. It just hogs resources, and you'll lose it if your calculator crashes for some reason.

Regardless, Authors can do what they want, they also have a life and they spend a lot of time and effort on these softwares, so they deserve more respect than that, especially considering they are not even paid for what they are doing. If an author wants to, he can even decide to discontinue a project altogether if he doesn't feel like working on it anymore.
Do you understand now that I understand and respect that, and didn't/don't mean to imply otherwise? I think that gameboy color games were still very rough color, as you can see from my pic on the left. It shouldn't need to look perfect on the calculator to see what's going on. It only used, like, 30 colors or so, anyways. Just out of curiosity, do you think that the NES would be another emulation possibility? I asked this before, but that was before the NSpire became a possibility.

At least the person that post was directed at understood it. CAN THIS BE DONE? = IS THIS POSSIBLE?  Maybe I should have added that emoticon to it to better convey my meaning. No, I haven't heard about the new NSpire stuff. Thus I stated that I /thought/ that it didn't have the programming capabilities. I'd ask for you to fill me in, but you probably wouldn't want to waste your time one a "leech" like me, anyways. I'll find out for myself. Even if you were right about what I meant, I don't think that wanting him to work on the 84 version or being impatient is the same thing as being disrespectful. I try to keep up with the calculator news, but much of it is way beyond me. Also, I happen to have other things on my mind besides calculators sometimes. I check ticalc.org every couple of days to see if they have news. That's my information source. I don't think that I'd ever be able to learn enough to make a program for my calculator. I'm not that tech savvy. I hope you aren't saying that people who don't make programs shouldn't participate in the forums. I always thought that making things is only enjoyable if other people get to use them. I would assume that the majority of people who like to use calculator games are people who don't know very much about calculators and only visit for the downloads. Programming calculators is very neat, but I don't think that there are that many people who do a lot of it. By not very many, I don't imply just one or two, I mean like several hundred to a few thousand out of all the people who own TI calculators. In the post above, I said absolutely nothing about him not having a life, I said absolutely nothing about which one he should work on, and I said nothing about how much effort I thought programming calculators would take. That's a lot of assumptions for just two sentences. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, too. --------------------------------- @calc84maniac: If you think you can do it on the NSpire, that would be great, because it has more resources available and a much higher resolution. Actually, I'd rather you did it for the NSpire first. Is it okay to state my preference? I'll add some more game tests later, once I get around to them.

CAN THIS BE DONE?
I thought that the NSpire mode didn't have any programing capabilities.

No compression like that. I mean compressed because it's the binaries. You said before that they are a lot smaller than the stuff you have on your computer. That's why it can fit on the calculator that only has, what, 2.5mb? Am I right? More than likely, I'm not, seeing as you're the one who made it.
I thought I knew what I was talking about, buy you're the smart one. ^^
I'd be glad to help if I knew anything about it.
