News / Re: Nspire CX Officially Announced by TI!

A CAS allows you to use a lot of extra functions (like simplifing and expanding equations) that the ACT board apparently wants you to be able to do in your head...

On mine at 0x80000300 I see 37353541005AFFFF0000000000000000 (755A.Z  ........)
Looking at my serial # now I can see that it looks like the first 4 characters of my serial # followed by that Z.  (On DJ's calc I think it would be an X because his is older)
Would the 7th character on the serial # tell what the pre-installed boot code is?

If you'll notice, there's also NOR ROM flashing. That's a part of test mode, so I suspect that the SD card can be accessed in diagnostics mode. There are a few other things in the OS I'll let you find  ;)
Things like SD card formatting, key logging/playback and some tutorial that you can enable or disable at your pleasure?

Nearby phrases don't necessarily have much relation.
Yeah, I figured that out real quick.  Trying to follow that is a bit hard at first.

This whole multiple OSes problem is very confusing.  I figured since Casio wanted some concrete proof of these issues then I would provide some information that I had just discovered that may or may not help out.

While I'm at it, I found some more interesting information while browsing my calculator's memory.
Starting at 0x801091E0 there are what look like most, if not all, of the messages that you will see when using the calculator.  There are a lot of different things here but notice all of the references to SD cards.  It looks like the OS has built in SD card support based on what I see in this area.  (See also 0x8000F210.  This section deals with some OS error and has the user insert a SD card to update the OS, among other things)

Maybe these screenshots can help enlighten us on the bugged OS problem?
What it says I have:                                                                 What I actually might have:
     
Notice the difference here.

There actually might be another problem here.
I was looking at the calculator memory through Insight and found this.
Address 0x80020020: "01.02.0000"
What does this mean?  Do I actually have OS 01.02.0000 on my calc instead of the one it says it has?
It says the same thing at 0xA0020020 also (Isn't that supposed to be where the backup state is stored?)

Best case scenario:  Casio continues to try to bust TI's monopoly by improving their calculators and services.  TI tries to keep their customers with the same methods (that is to say, improving their calculators and services also) and in the end their competition will produce better calculators of higher quality for everybody.  (Or at least more frequent bug-fixes for the calculators that they already have).

It might be hard to find the calculators in stores but everyone that has seen mine has liked it (at least one person I know is going to buy one now and several others really wan't to).
If Casio wants to work to improve their product to gain customers then I will definitely work harder to help get them customers to buy it. :)

That I don't know for sure.  I would not be surprised at all if that could be done though.

EDIT: FOr some reasons it works now ???. I wonder if it just randomnly stops working...
I hope that it's not a random thing.  If it is then Casio needs to fix that along with the documentation for the command itself.

Also you could learn SH3 asm. As long as you  know z80 asm Sh3 will just be a little harder.  In fact when I first got my Prizm I had no prior Casio experience at all.
I do know some z80 already.  I just haven't done anything with it  at all due to lack of available time.

Yeah and a bunch of other people didn't have the glitch either, if I remember. Maybe his calc was part of a 3rd batch?
Maybe Casio discovered the glitch in the OS and fixed it before qwerty's calc was manufactured?  If so, then why didn't they update the OS version number?

Edit:  Here is my speculation on what happened in timeline form.
            Serial #
755AW0XMA005355 (DJ's)        These calculator had OS 1.01.0200 on it.
     Casio updates OS to 1.02.0200 (glitched)
755AW0ZMA017594 (Mine)       Now calculators have the 1.02.0200 (glitched) OS preloaded.
     Casio catches the Locate bug and fixes it.  However, they do not update the OS version number.
755AW0ZMA020716 (Qwerty's)  By this point, calculators come with 1.02.0200 (fixed)
     Casio releases OS on the internet.  However, they upload 1.02.0200 (glitched) instead of 1.02.0200 (fixed)

This should mean that any calc with a serial # later than qwerty's should definitely have the fixed OS preloaded.  With more serial #s we should be able to confirm this.

Since Casio BASIC syntax isn't necessarily the same as computer language, will the Notepad++ syntax highlighting be assured to work properly?
You can add custom syntax in all of the languages that Notepad++ supports.  I did that with z80 back when I was still learning it.

Blue???  What exactly did you type in as the command? 
From what I know the statement SetG-Color Green ,1 should change the color of the first graph to green.
I tried variations on colors and graph numbers and they all worked as expected.

@z80man
I haven't written any games (yet).
I just started on my first game yesterday and I will eventually go into more detail on it but I need to get somewhere else quickly right now.
