Would you look at that, he's got one of the mysterious K's.

Anyways, before we say the boot code was changed, i think we should compare it with another 84+BE because I'm not sure I've ever actually done it on a BE. 5 SE's but I'm not sure about a BE.

Btw just one thing: make sure those routines are safe and that you don't do bad mistakes while using them, since it involves writing to Flash. Accidentally overwriting the OS certificate == bad

No, no, no. I would never write to flash from a basic program lol. That's just scary. I make a group variable in ram and then archive it.

Group2:
Input: Str3 = group name, must be 8 characters, use spaces if it's not 8, Ex: "GROUP___"
         Str4 = programs to group, each name is 8 characters with a + or - prefixing it to show it's type
                + = unprotected/unlocked program
                - = protected/locked program
                Ex: "+A_______+BASIC___-PHOENIX_-GROUP2__"
Then just run group2, or it's hex equivalent, and your group from string 3 will be made with the programs in string 4.

Unsquish:
This program is so you don't have to type in all 500 numbers by hand.
Input: Str1 = program name, must be 8 characters with + or - prefix, Ex: "-GROUP2__"
Output: A program will be made with the same name as the original, except the first letter will be an 'A'.

Then run it and AROUP2 will be made which you can recall the numbers from.


Both of these programs auto overwrite. The group one makes a program and a group but deletes the program, so don't name your group the same as your program. Ex: Your game is call GAME, you go to make a group called GAME, your game just got deleted in the process.

By doing the auto overwrite, I basically eliminated any chance of you accidentally clearing ram, (which would suck.) Also, if either of them error, you won't really know aside from they won't have completed their task.

Edit:
    I am stupid, during my final optimize I made a little error. Fixed now though. Also, I just tested, if you don't have enough memory, thankfully you just get an error memory.

Well here it all is. The unsquisher takes the program name in string 1, using the same syntax for programs as the grouper, and converts it into hex code in a program of the same name just with A as its first letter.

then later

That's ok, I already figured out the format. It just looks like you put the vat entry in front of the program data. Very simple to do.

One of my first programs was to get revenge on some kid. I wanted to make his calculator never turn off so that his batteries would last a few days. I went through the flash debugger and searched for every single 76h (halt). Then I made a program to replace them all with zeros. Here is the source:

     LD     A,00
     LD     ($02A3),A
     LD     ($08E9),A
     LD     ($0AA8),A
     LD     ($3E81),A
     LD     ($3F8F),A
     LD     ($3F53),A
     LD     ($3E68),A
     LD     ($3683),A
     LD     ($362F),A
     LD     ($3629),A
     LD     ($3623),A
     LD     ($361D),A
     LD     ($3533),A
     LD     ($3527),A
     LD     ($347F),A
     LD     ($32F9),A
     LD     ($32F3),A
     LD     ($312B),A
     LD     ($2F51),A
     LD     ($2F14),A
     LD     ($2EBA),A
     LD     ($2E79),A
     LD     ($2E5B),A
     LD     ($2E55),A
     LD     ($2E4F),A
     LD     ($2736),A
     RET
Needless to say, it didn't really work right. Not only did he not have an 83+, or os 1.16. But I don't think you can change the OS that easily.

lol, this is the most hacked up thing I've ever seen.

It will be complete as soon as some one figures out how to normalize from a hook.

Edit:
    + is unprotected - is protected. Turns out that o and p are actually 2 byte tokens

Ya, it looks like it has to press 3, right, enter, then return.

The last time I tried to normalize from a hook, I called an os specific call, made a temp program, executed it and called my program. Hopefully there is an easier way.

The grouping would be fully automated, but it would not be hidden. Unless you turn the screen off, the user will see the group menu appear, then watch the calculator working on grouping, and then saying complete.

I'll start making it, if what I just said is fine, then you'll be able to group.

One last thing, will this be a program, or will this be an in-line code section.

Edit:
     What string are you putting the name in?
