Title: Axe Parser Compatible with 84+ Keypad?
Post by: Toothless the Dragon on April 29, 2015, 12:54:14 am
Hiya everyone!

Just as the title says, is Axe compatible with the Nspire TI-84+ keypad? Whenever I try running it, it gives me a strange, slightly-inverted in color "ERR: BREAK" screen, and the entire calculator freezes until given a hard reset.

Do you guys know of a fix hopefully? I have the most updated OS, 2.56MP.

I have no idea if this applies to the nspire, but do you use a dumped ROM or a generated one? Iirc axe in it's current version avoids using undocumented instructions to keep it compatible with the monochrome nspires. But at least on computer emulators, it doesn't work well with a generated ROM.

It does not apply to the Nspire with 84+ keypad, it has a built-in emulator.

Yup yup, it's built-in. It is the monochrome one just to clarify, and I did try a hard reset and wiped everything on the calc before installing, I still get the same error.

I know one of the goals of Axe was to be compatible with the Nspire 84+ emulator. However, I think the compatibility for the app itself may have been lost at some point, and only the compatibility of compiled programs retained. My best guess would be the 1.0.0 release is that point, as that's when Axe started using a flash unlock exploit and writing data to flash, and I wouldn't be surprised if these aren't emulated properly.

Does anyone have experiene with using past versions of Axe on their Nspire 84+ emulator, or would anyone be willing to take some time and pinpoint the version that broke compatibility? If my guess isn't correct and it wasn't in fact the 1.0.0 release, it may be something that's reasonably fixable.

I tried the latest versions of Axe Parser. Looks like it works until 1.1.2. At the Omega Release (1.2.0), I encounter the error that Toothless The Dragon had.

So good news, this is not related to 1.0.0 release. But I’m unsure if Runer112 may take a look at this.
