Hmm...I wonder what would happen if I opened this with a text-based Linux CLI browser? :P

Hey, we have cheap calcs here! I saw an nspire NEW for $130! Touchpad too!

You can use it for most anything 84+ related, but it doesn't support some progs (ti-boy, some other high-end things) because of undocumented instructions in asm.

Axe, and most asm runs fine, but if you want MirageOS (not really needed, but nice) you'll need a patch.

Wow. I never actually knew the rules :P

Hmm....not bad! I can't make anything like that yet. :P

Maybe you could hack the disassembled hex to change a sprite!

wikipedia quote:

The standard display resolution of the NES is 256 horizontal pixels by 240 vertical pixels.

Most older systems had 320x240 or less, even the SNES had most games at 320x240. Only a few games (like Secret of mana) used 640x480, and we could compress the screen for those few.

Edit: here's wikipedia's listed resolutions for the SNES, interlaced and progressive

Progressive: 256x224, 512x224, 256x239, 512x239
Interlaced: 512x448, 512x478

So, some games will not quite fill the screen, some will need to be compressed.

Edit2: Oh and BTW, while NTSC officially supports 640x480, most TVs cut it off a little short so there are no black bars, and game designers usually choose something around 512x384, or a near resolution. This overscan rule doesn't apply to lcds, however.

For now, you will need a clickpad and 1.1 to run any homebrew. The team that created ndless is currently working on a version for higher OSes (1.4-2.1 I think) and you can have homebrew then. Until then, you can buy a clickpad or stick with 84+ games.

1.1 is the best for ndless :P but yeah, it probably is.

Not necessarily.....Super FX could cause many, many headaches, and does even on systems with a decent gpu (speaking of handhelds, not pcs)

if it's celsius, then definitely for the gpu. CPU seems fine though. 60 C isn't unreasonable, and 60 F is fantastic.

Beeping when it turns off isn't beep codes (for overheating and such) those only happen when you turn a computer on

It's completely legal. It doesn't hack anything, basically you're doing one big system link (or LAN play, if you prefer)

BTW, IMO the best way to play gba games with a flashcart on ds is with a GBA flashcart. I just have both flashcarts in mine, works like a charm :P

GBA flashcarts are ridiculously expensive though, because they need really good Flash RAM in them that reads as it plays. DS loads into its internal RAM, so it can use slow stuff like sd cards.

Wait, why do you need GBA flashcart loading if it supports gba emulation? :P

I think I'll take my R4 clone that cost $10, SDHC, came with a 2gb SD card. All those features just don't seem worth $25. Plus, this r4 clone was super easy to set up (at least compared to my EFA Linker for the GBA.)

hmm...what about 3 modes? ALPHA alpha Math, and just have a slider switch. That way, no one style is default. If the programming is non-tokenized, there will be very little need for anything but text and numbers, with the occasional switch to the math pad for an advanced function.

Something like this, I'm thinking

|A|B|C|D|E|
|F|G|H|I|J|
|K|1|2|3|L|
|M|4|5|6|N|
|O|7|8|9|P|
|Q|R|0|S|T|
|U|V|W|X|Y|
|Z|_|"|Etc. for however many keys

Probably not that layout exactly, but you get the idea. Then, the math set has all the stuff like Sin( Cos( Tan( Log( and maybe some variables. We should probably also have one row of keys along the top, bottom or side for graphing, Tables, Notes, that kind of thing.

It might also be a good idea to have a toggle between with a button, so you can easily type variables.

Grr, 7*5 is one off :P

hrmm...beeping right at the start? That means a hardware malfunction of some kind. It could be an overheat warning (last time the computer shut down due to overheat) could be display malfunction, keyboard error, many things. Is it still under warranty? You might try for a repair, but make sure you back up your stuff first.

[OTcalc] Z80-Hardware / Re: [OTZ80] [Poll] Mini USB or regular USB?

@graphmastur

That's exactly what the 84+ has, an OTG port. An OTG port supports A and B

If we only have one usb, there's no point in going full size if we need a special cable. Might as well go mini for that. Plus, A to A cables are a bad idea, because people will try to plug two computers together, which could kill both USB ports with shorting. We could always have two, one mini-a, one full size, just for convenience.

Heck, the 84+ already had room for AAs. They just needed to move the board around a little, and there would have been no extra thickness

#2 for me, the z80 one will not have enough juice demands to need a rechargeable lithium battery.
