Hey, this looks neat!  I'll do some testing between an 83+SE, 84+SE, and 83+ for you. :)  I'll have results back later. ;D

Thank you so much!.  I really need results like these so i can figure out compatibility and everything

Such as... If Full speed mode works with 2 84+SE calcs.
Then i should right.

Start the game by pressing enter.
then....
If Full ->P.
Send(50000,P
If P=Get
full
else
normal
end

The GIF looks weird... But the title looks quite promising. If maybe players walk +2 faster :)

Good luck

It's because there's no way to do two player with gifs. :(

unfortunately no.  They can only go that fast
Note: If you are basing your assumption on the screeny, you should know that when the character moves, the program waits for the other calc to retrieve the information until time runs out.  Thus, it seems laggy.

Know how you can simulate linking in Wabbit?
Open the first calculator you want to test.  Click "setup wizard" under Help, browse, open whatever other (or same) ROM.  Another one should open.  On either, click "connect to...".  It should give a success message.  Now they're virtually linked.
I have no idea how you'd do that with the Nspire, but it should work for the 83's and 84's.

odd, I'm trying to test it and it doesn't send to wabbit.  No error or anything, it just doesn't show in PRGM.  Or anywhere else, for that matter.

cool, anyone want to give me roms :P  j/k
I will try to do a screeny of both  for next update.

/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

All help is appreciated about the compatibility of two (real) calculators and how they preform.

Has anyone experimented with compatibility between calcs yet?

Alright, here's what I found:
83+ to 84+SE - It doesn't crash, but over time the two screens get off; it looks like the 83+ sprite is slipping down on the 84+SE.
83+ to 83+SE - It doesn't crash, but over time the two screens get off; it looks like the 83+ sprite is slipping down on the 83+SE.
84+SE to 83+SE - Works perfectly.  Great job! ;D

I haven't tested yet. I will try later next week when I get some free time. I got a working TI-83+ and a TI-Nspire.

By the way I think a way to keep the speed synced between calcs is to continuously send data back and forth between both calcs, but have the calc that is receiving wait until the entire data is successfully received, then do the same back and forth over and over. I'M not sure how well this would work, though. This might slow things down considerably.

Good luck!

actually i only send the key press.

So if one calc starts before the other....

w/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

I got shooting your opponent working. It resets him to (30,30)
II also fixed pixel checking with the gun. (i forgot the characters were 8 by 16)

EDIT: fixed a typo

Do you mean when someone presses a key it starts waiting for the other calc to press a key? ???
