Well, we don't have to worry nearly so much about that, seeing as we're self funded (and this is nowhere near as potentially illegal as many sites.)

Every rewrite brings improvement.

If they want ridiculously difficult to emulate, they should roll their own FPGA soft processor that uses some really freaky stuff, and is totally black-box. Especially the ROM. Good luck causing a stack overflow when you don't know what bitsize you're using. (It would be 12-bit RAM, for one)

Well, you're essentially cracking their software, so technically that falls under warez.

@Keoni there's a EULA in the packaging which you agree to by using the calculator.

They are using USB to Ethernet adapters. These can be found for less than $5 on places like amazon.
Your solution is overly complex and unlikely to work. (Those systems often have very specialized windows-only drivers)

Those cases are rare, especially those relating to things such as reverse engineering which is FAR more touchy than emulation. It's a pity that the geohot case was settled out of court, or we'd have a more recent case to go by.

They can't enforce the EULA at all. They have no legal power outside the law, no matter what implied contracts you have signed. This is because of the ridiculous ease by which people agree to the contracts.
The EULA is in the packaging. It's in the manual.

EULAs are not legally binding. There's nothing to be concerned about, because this "rule" they introduced is in direct conflict with the DMCA. Seriously, this has absolutely no effect on us.

Ooh, not that we could implement this or anything, but what if they just subdivided the screen into 16 chunks, 4800 bytes each, and allowed you to page each chunk of the screen individually? The screen hardware would continuously update from the buffers not currently paged, and you can write to them as fast as to any other RAM.

It would require a fairly substantial change to how the putS bcall operates, and it would probably take an interrupt.

http://pi.minecraft.net/It's not that good yet. Creative only. But, it does support the programming aspect already. I made mine into a laptop. I generally log onto my desktop with VNC, but I'm looking at getting some emulators running on it too. Oh, and TI-BASIC and HP basic are not real BASIC. At all. They bear almost no resemblance to real BASIC languages, like the BBC BASIC on risc OS,

Maybe they should have implemented a disp buffer, like Linux uses. It stores all the console output and displays it as fast as possible, but the program continues running, ignoring whether it has actually displayed.

Clock multipliers can easily push you up and over the terahertz barrier. So, while we don't have any crystals that frequency and hence no lasers, we can easily take images that quickly. Lots of people use terahertz imaging, as a quick google shows. Take a look.

But the files are compatible, so why not allow them to transfer? If anything, it makes it easier for programs like tilp.
