Title: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: Le solutionneur on January 17, 2012, 06:01:43 am
Hi,
I present you a program that I started a few weeks ago : Rom Creator

This program allow the user to create a Rom by clicking a button and simply emulate the chosen Ti Nspire.

(http://tiplanet.org/modules/archives/captures/1324837107Rom%20Creator%20v1.5.png)

This is a French-only program, 'cause I'm proud to be French and I want that French have a place in programming.

For those, who don't speak French at all :
"type de calculatrice" means "model of calculator"
"en mode ti 84+" <-- this mean "do you want to launch the ti nspire using ti 84+ mod ?"
"démarrer l'émulation" <-- start to emulate the calculator

"Créer la rom" <--"create the rom"

If you have any suggestion or want to have the source of the program (althought I didn't protected it so it's easy to decompile), feel free to contact me at : devnoname120( A.T]gmail(dot)com

Hope you'll enjoy it :) 

Ps: more infos, download link, etc... at  http://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=3846&play=

I'm happy that you like it ! :)

The support for CXes will be added when Ndless will be released (=the release of the emulator)

I did hard working on doing an auto update feature, I was 90% when I started a new project (this version (no released) also fix some smalls bugs)

And don't forget, if you have any feature you would like to be added or bug that should be fixed, feel free to contact me ! (+1 to my post is also apprecied)

Oooh great, this is something that is very needed. I had so much troubles in the past getting a Nspire ROM for Goplat's emu so someone always had to set everything up for me. :)

On the 83+ we had this for a while but I remember when I joined the TI community in 2001 we didn't have any except VTI ROM dumper, which was so sensitive that it rarely ever worked.

I'm impressioned that I posted this on tiplanet.org (french calculators websites), and nobody seams to know it !

The english guys don't go on French sites !

Next time, I'll post a new software both here and on tiplanet...

Ps: many guys like it: I had -5 'cause I was saying that a program was slow ('cause I was judging for a contest, that's was only to give the note for the contest, not for saying the program is lame) and now, I've +1 !
That mean that 6 guys gave me a +1 :)

I think this is mainly due to the large amount of programmers around here, while on French sites a lot of people visit mainly to get maths/science-related programs, although there are still a few programmers there. Also since English is an international language, everyone is forced to learn it in the world, which is not French case. As a result, several French people have the ability to read English-based forums, while most English-speaking people don't know a single word of French. I wish they encouraged them to learn French more, since French is very popular in the world. D: (in USA, most people seem to choose Spanish over French)

As for post ratings, actually the post above only got 1 rating so I assume a few others of your posts got positive votes, nullifying the negative overall rating you had.

I will probably give this a try at some point, but I can't promise much, since I don't have as much time.

Bonjour. Hahah...
I already promised myself I'd take french courses in High School.

Le Solutionneur there is a virus in your software O.O

You should check in case someone gets infected or if your computer is infected and causing your releases to be infected. See attachment below:

Le Solutionneur there is a virus in your software

Yes, that's annoying: the programming language I use is false positived from some AV:

The major AV are ok, recently, somone contacted AVG and they approved that that is a false positive (they also updated there database to remove the false positive), I'm too lazy to contact myself avast, giving the sources and explaining them that there is a false positive... blahblahblah.

Autoit is a powerful language but some noobs use it to create virus, and the AV generally add a signature on there database that blocks autoit, not the virus.

If you've a bit time, contact them, and they will update their database.

And feel free to not use my software until you contact avast : I understand it: I would have done the same.

For alerting a false positive :
-find the official website of autoit on google, provide a download link, provide my software and explain that it seems to not be a virus, they will take a look at it, at the assembly and finally say that it is a false positive.


And thanks for warning, I didn't know avast did false positive.


EDIT: I beat my lazyness and I contacted them about the false positive.
The Avast's database should be updated in a few days. :)

Ah I see so that explains why this happens. Kinda similar to an RPG Maker mod I was using years ago. Also CalcCapture triggers the sandbox x.x

I guess we have to blame the people who create actual viruses. I tend to warn when such avast warning happens though in case you would have been hacked or infected for real.

Thanks.

Yeah, stupid virus creators...

It's easy to build virus with autoit since you can easily manipulate files, process, Windows...

Autoit is known to be a language for creating bot only: that's why there is big community of programming that show the contrary (and some programs like lili USB creator, REShacker, an Rom Creator :) )

Autoit is powerful and extensive, I suggest you all to learn it : or beginners or for C programmers that need a language that is more flexible and faster to write (a program)

The main forum is on "autoitscript.com", there is also a French community (autoitscript.fr), a German community (autoit.de), Russian community...

That's nice. It sucks that people who create legit softwares get sort-of punished for the action of a few virus creators (punished by getting false positives on their software, scaring people from using them).
Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: Le solutionneur on January 18, 2012, 05:57:07 pm
Yes, I fully agree, but that's not only the fault of these stupid virus programers, the AV create too quickly the signature of the virus, so it happens that the signature don't identify good the virus and one time, avast had an update that deleted systel32 files...

They should think a bit more about the signature, if one fruit is toxic, that doesn't mean all fruits are toxic ! :/

The paid AV software industry is a large-scale scam, milking billions of dollars, each year, from customers' fears, through highly inefficient (ineffective and bloated) products.
Fortunately, there are several no-fee AVs, which don't work significantly better or worse than the paid AVs on average, but at least, do not milk people :)

Yeah this is why I use Avast, since it's free.

If it wasn't for the fact *sometimes* legit sites can lead to a virus due to their PHP code getting hacked (such as WTFMetalMusic, a nice metal blog, last week) or because you downloaded a legit software from an infected author, I would not even bother installing an antivirus at all...
Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: Le solutionneur on January 19, 2012, 03:26:14 pm
I dislike avast 'cause it's not effective enough.

I have personaly Norton but I'm not fully satisfated.

I suggest you to use avast and clamwin, they complet themselves.

Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 19, 2012, 10:33:19 pm
Hmm never heard of Clamwin, I should check it out. Usually i had Ad-aware and Spybot search and destroy combined with Avast, and I agree Avast alone isn't super effective. I prefered it to Norton, though, because Norton always seemed to find stuff after I got infected rather than  before, and it kept spamming me with "please purchase update" every few day or so else I won't receive virus database updates anymore.
Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: Lionel Debroux on January 20, 2012, 12:52:08 am
Clamwin is both no-fee and open-source software. But AFAICT, it's even less efficient than the other AV software: it's more based on signatures than the others, i.e. code obfuscation can get through it even more easily than the others.

I can probably edit the source code for all of us english speakers. I just need permission.
Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: Le solutionneur on January 25, 2012, 05:37:10 pm
I can also do it easily but as said in the first page:
"I want that the French languge get a place in programming"
Otherwise, I would have written it in english (if I good remember, I did the comments in the source code in english :-° )

If you guys want it, I can update it to add the support of Nspire cx CAS but it'll take time so I want to be sure it'll be useful.
Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 25, 2012, 11:07:58 pm
Well, Nspire CAS CX would be a must, because I heard that in many France areas, the non-CAS CX and the non-CAS TI-Nspire is not sold, and even in USA some people might go for the CAS models because they need them at school. If you meant CX as a whole, then it would still be a good idea too since TI will most likely stop selling the older models eventually.
Title: Re: Rom Creator v1.5
Post by: Le solutionneur on January 26, 2012, 06:16:20 am
Ok.
I'll try to find the time to do that.

Ps: the false positive by avast is fixed now
