So, in my opinion,

The Gameboy Color is more advanced (for example better graphics) than the NES
The Gameboy Advance is more advanced than the Super Nintendo
The Nintendo DS is more advanced than the Nintendo 64

What about the Nintendo 3DS?  Do you feel it will be more advanced than the gamecube?

not quite yet, though it has a shot.  I personally don't like the double screen idea though -- if they could just jazz up the Advance SP design, that would be a buy for me.  And if It came with a pokemon game 'Pokemon Rainbow' where you could play through a 2000 hour story in more than the 5 regions

I guess you're asking too much

The double screen is pretty cool for me.

Windows 7, Google Chrome and Ubuntu 10.04, Google Chrome (both 64bits), everything is fine for the time of being.

Are you having slowdowns?

I have problems with reloading (every 15 minutes) I have to manually refresh OmnomIRC.

Also, when I press ENTER it takes a while for the message to appear.

I don't consider these serious problems though, but the second one is slowdown.

First of all, if you use Internet Explorer or that you are not browsing Omnimaga from a computer, please note that we may not be able to address the following issue, as we cannot support compatibility with phones and other devices, nor the outdated Internet Explorer web rendering standards. Also, please upgrade to the latest browser version of what you are using before posting, if possible. Regardless, read below:

If you experience slow browsing issues due to OmnomIRC lagging your computer or browser, please post the following here:

-Operating System, including Bit version and the sub-version of it. Example: Windows 7 64-Bit Home Premium Edition
-Browser being used and it's version. Example: Opera version 10.60
-Computer specs: Processor (amount of cores, if applicable, and GHz) and amount of RAM

We are trying to figure out the pattern of system setups where slowdowns occurs. There could maybe be a bug in OmnomIRC causing extreme amount of ressources to be used in certain browsers, like it could very well be outdated computer system (if your processor speed is in MHz and RAM around 256 MB, we may not be able to help you).

Windows 7, Google Chrome and Ubuntu 10.04, Google Chrome (both 64bits), everything is fine for the time of being.

Don't use them if the data is required for the program to run, though (always have a backup to rely on in-prgm). Appvars are generally useful for saving high scores or external levels.

Yes that's right, but they do allow moderately high amount of data.

Sounds pretty cool. There are a lot of these for the 8x, but none for the NSpire (before this was released).

AXE/ASM noob here!

What's the ideal way to store large amounts of data (i.e. map data, sprites, large strings) for your programs? I'd expect that you'd just keep the data in your program, but is there a better way to do it?
Also, could I get some guidance on when to use temp ram areas/external variables rather than portions of program memory for data storage?

Any other data optimization tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You can use Appvars if you want them saved even when the program is closed.
