TI-84+CE OS bugs
I just ran into some fatal bug on the TI-84 Plus CE and I am unsure if it can be reproduced on a TI-83 Premium CE, but it doesn't happen on TI-Smartview CE:- Crash or weirdness when storing massive strings 1) Store the string " " into Ans2) Store Ans+Ans into Str13) Repeat number #2 until you get ERR: INVALID DIM (strings cannot be larger than 32 KB on the 84+CE)This causes the calculator to shut down, followed by a RAM Clear. I managed to recreate the bug that way three times in a row. If ...

TI-84 Plus CE downgrade protection with Boot 5.1.5+
Owning a TI-8x Flash calculator had always been a synonym for freedom. You could update and then downgrade freely. With the only exception of TI-84 Plus coming preloaded with Boot 1.03, in which TI had moved from a 512-bits RSA signature to a 2048-bits one - so the only accepted OS were 2.55+ (so 2.55 only, as no update has been released since) .But the intent wasn't to prevent downgrading, or they would simply have checked the version.They wanted to prevent us from being able to install ...

C.Basic - A much faster Casio fx-9860gII BASIC interpreter
One of the many complains that Casio calculator programmers always had was that its BASIC language was slow. TI programmers had similar complains about TI-BASIC, but the slow speed of TI-BASIC is nothing compared to Casio calculators, especially the ClassPad series. Thankfully, the fx-9860G series has a BASIC language that runs at speeds roughly comparable with the TI-84 Plus, but only because of the much faster processor (between 29 and 58 MHz depending of the fx-9860G hardware revision, compar...

You can go to jail for 3 years in France for using a TI-Nspire
Last year in France, some teachers decided to apply their own rules and restrictions about what calculators can be used during the BAC exam and what you can use on your calculator. Until 2018, although devices like smartphones or other things that has a touchscreen or storage memory are banned from exams, certain calculator models, which includes the TI-Nspire, are exempt if the exam allows the usage of said calculator, and under the current laws, viewing TI-Nspire documents is allowed.However, ...

JamesV releases TI-84 Plus CE port of classic SQRXZ game

Released by Maze and Hojo, it was later ported to the TI-85, TI-86 and TI-92 by Jimmy Mårdell and later to the TI-83 and TI-83+/84+ series by Solignac Julien and became a classic on ticalc.org. In 2015, it was ported to the TI-Nspire CX by gameblabla, along with SQRXZ 3 and 4. But now, the TI-Z80 ASM version has finally made its way to the TI-83 Premium CE and TI-84 Plus CE! game is inspired from Mario serie...

Here's where you should dump all of your favorite monochrome Nspire tools, etc. If Ndless is compatible, I'd be all for that, since I'd likely just be getting it just for programming purposes.

When did you start programming? (poll)
So I thought it would be interesting to make a poll asking people when approximately they started programming for calculators, but you can answer even if you never touched a calculator too. I have set the poll by three years chunk so that each period spans a specific TI community era. For example, 1994-96 was when ZShell arrived and when ticalc.org was about to come to birth and back in the days, it seemed like the TI community was split into specific eras anyway (especially after 2008 where it'...

AppVar From Another Source Read-Only? [xlibc]
I've noticed while working with Sorcery of Uvutu, that AppVars not created on-calc are read-only to the calculator. I've figured this out with a save file I use to test easily. Under no circumstances can I save to that AppVar. Is this true? Could it just be my emulator? Is there a way to circumvent this possibly?Thanks to DJ Omnimaga for the idea to post.

Super Mario now available on the TI-84 Plus CE with level editing
For years, the TI-84 Plus series had access to Super Mario 1.2 and 2.0 by Sam Heald, a long-time classic for older calculator models. Unfortunately, TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition users were left in the cold due to the calculator's short lifespan (it was discontinued after only two years), its extremely poor performances and arguably the lack of viable C programming and libraries for it, all of which made developers skeptical about whether that platform could support a side-scrolling platformer.

Any 3D Ti-84 plus CE games? & 2 player games
Any that there are available or works in progress that are 3D? Also, i think with the micro USB to micro USB cable that came with my CE, I wonder that there are any 2 player games too. The screens don't have to be simultaneously simulated, but have your score and your screen but only have your partners score. This could be used for a battleship game or a small 2D shooter like Vertix.io (Could be used for an inspiration).Thanks for any responses!
