I'm sure the question's been asked, so sorry to repeat it, but what games have 32KiB of on-cartridge RAM? IIRC Pokemon does :/

Pokemon is the only one I know of, but I haven't done a large amount of research on the subject.

I rewrote the CPU portion of the emulation for speed purposes. Should be even faster now :D

Also, I finally got the restore-after-battery-pull feature working. It repairs the "damage" done to the OS and restores the RAM to the state it was in before starting TI-Boy (and saves your game back to the appvar). Since nothing else seemed to work, to give control back to the OS I set the "ram valid" checksum and jumped into the TI-OS bootup code (this checksum makes it think you were just replacing the batteries, so it doesn't ram clear)
I'm glad this is revived. When this works on new calcs and come out, this will definitively pick up even more in popularity.

Do tell when the new version is complete :D I cannot wait!

Hey everyone!
I'm new to omnimaga and everything and this might have been asked before but bear with me...
I was playing Pokemon Red on my calculator (Great job calc84maniac!) and I was wondering whether it was possible to use a link cable for calculators to connect them as if they were gameboys. would that work?

That is not an implemented feature. It may be possible in the next version if I get around to it (especially because the link port is freed up because sound will no longer be supported)

By the way, can the usb data port in the calculator be used for things like sound or linking?

Technically, yes. But it's incredibly complicated compared to the simplicity of the serial port. And compared to most other things, too :P

Also, I bought my calculator in 2009 because my older one is messed up, yet TI-Boy still works on it
???
I don't know why, I was expecting it not to work when I tried it a couple weeks ago.
Thought this might be interesting.

Hmm, really? What's the last half of the serial number on the back of your calculator? (example: mine is S-0207G)
