And don't use undocumented functions plz :P
Will the use of an extra ram page work on the Nspire?

I vote for the page that all the calcs except the 83+ has. :)

I can't wait to see how this looks.  Good luck Sir! ;D

I am not certain RAM pages emulation works on the Nspire. I heard they were present, but I think I remember someone saying he had troubles accessing them from ASM programs. I might be wrong, though.

Doesn't it require being able to use the first page for MathPrint? That would mean at the very least it would work on 2.0 and 2.1, right?

I guess we can just find out when it's made, right?

Yeah, I have to admit that unfortunately, nSpire compatibility is not my number one goal.

Well, I think it's either that page, or 83+se/84+(se) only, or just the older 83+se/84+(se)s only... =/
Is there a page on the 83+?

No the 83+ only has the 32 KB of RAM, 24 of which is for the user.

It is used by stuff like saferam areas, contrast settings and various other things by the OS.

From what I've heard, the Nspire can emulate one RAM page, since the newest Ti-84+ OS requires it.  However, the problem with compatability would be if Axe uses any undocumented instructions

EDIT: Exactly.  If you mess with most of this RAM described by DJ, your calculator is toast

Hmm i guess its SirCmpwn's decision on to how to implement the RAM he is going to use then

Yeah, there aren't that many people playing 84+ games on an Nspire, anyway.

Hmm i guess its SirCmpwn's decision on to how to implement the RAM he is going to use then

Yup. Tell us which calcs to use when you figure it out! And good luck on this game. I'm looking forward to playing it.

Personally I still hope it won't use the entire 128 KB though x.x. Else his program will have a smaller and smaller audience as years go by.

I don't think he needs quite that much, thankfully :D

I wonder how Sir's gonna do it. RAM pages don't work in saving, remember.

Not saving, at least not yet.
