Don't worry too much about it. The trick is to make sure to check the instructions, then if it fails, feel free to ask help by providing info on what you don't understand and what is wrong.

 yeah, I should have said what I was doing, and then ask what is wrong instead of just screaming "WHAT DO I DOO? AHH?"

once again, I apologize for angring you Lionel

New version, which hopefully disables the Flash memory execution protection on HW1 as well, and adds back OSVRegister/OSVFreeTimer + supporting code in the reset code and in the interrupt handler, i.e. the vectored timers removed by TI in AMS 2.04. These vectored timers were reimplemented independently of AMS by Zeljko Juric in the TIGCC (and therefore GCC4TI) library.

As usual, and though the OS is successfully running tests of the new functionality on one of my physical calculators, use the patcher+patchset or binary diffs at your own risk :)

Whoops, I totally forgot about this topic. Very nice updates. I'm definitely going to want to remember to try this out at some point. :)

Thanks :)
The program has now been uploaded to ticalc, as a *nix utility. For Windows compatibility, it just requires the Windows equivalent of the "truncate" function to be used.

Spoiler For Spoiler:
So far, only one person in the entire community has posted negative things: Kevin Kofler, of course, in the topic on yAronet I didn't create myself precisely because I know that he would pollute it, in a way or another. And sure enough, he did: "Je suis content de voir que pour une fois, tu fais du travail utile…" means "I'm happy to see that for once, you're doing useful work".
I was expecting the reverse pollution ("when will have you finished to do useless work ?"), but this one is even more blatantly stupid than the reverse kind: all the bugfixing and testing work that he isn't doing himself, because he is both unwilling to spend time and get equipment (since his behaviour against Romain precluded him from getting his hands on Romain's collection), on GCC4TI, libti*/gfm/tilp and tiemu is useless, right ?

I wish we had the same spoilers as on yAronet. They're cooler :P. And yeah I saw there. Anyway I saw on ticalc and I wonder if it will get featured since it's to mod the OS :D

New version, http://tict.ticalc.org/beta/tiosmod-0.2.6.zip and, after the next update, on ticalc.org ( http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/431/43198.html ) as well.
* fixes bugs in the patcher/patchset;
* adds Windows compatibility: the functions the patcher needs do exist in msvcrt, it's just that they have different names;
* adds the fix for another AMS bug, fixed by HW3Patch, namely the one that can occur when changing batteries.

I am kinda disappointed that this did not get a feature at ticalc.org when those AMS extenders posted a few months ago did. Don't get me wrong, those were awesome but this is extremly great as well. Is it because it has dangerous bugs still? Because I feel this deserves a feature.

I've gotten pretty busy lately and have been having some trouble keeping up with a lot of things, even with processing pending files which normally isn't a problem (plus there's been a sudden increase in submitted files lately), but I expect to be able to make more headway eventually within a few days. You guys just have to be patient with me and give me a chance to test, research, write about, and format these things for posting—it can be quite time-consuming. I'll make a best effort to try to have the rest of my pending feature queue flushed out in time for POTY voting.

No problem :)

Should tiosmod+amspatch be selected for POTY, both the *nix utilities (e.g. titools) and the Windows utilities categories certainly have better POTY candidates anyway.

Aaah ok I wasn't sure, I thought those OS patchers were missed or something x.x, which can happen though. And yeah I noticed the suddent increase in file submissions lately. I hope you have more free time soon. X.x
