Ok so I got a crapload of dirt cheap games from Dollarama again:

-Major League Baseball 2k10 + The Plan, sealed together for $3
-NBA 2k10 + Harvey Birdman (some Phoenix Wright knockoff I think) for PS2, sealed together for $3
-Kung Zhu for Nintendo DS for $3

In similar conditions on Ebay, the basketball game is like $7 alone, the baseball one $6, Kung Zhu about $5, Harvey Birdman $7 and The Plan $2.

Oh ok phew lol.

Also should this topic be moved to public? (you could always create another topic in the staff board or update pimath's topic on how to restart the bot when needed)

Wait what does it screen the entire CW website in order to find results? I hope you meant Google page, else the bandwidth usage...

Wow I didn't know nKaruga was featured and on ticalc. That makes things even harder to choose, now >.<

Although I like nKaruga a lot and that Quake on a calculator is an impressive achievement, my vote will have to go to Crafti, because it's as close to Minecraft as you can get on a calculator, yet it still runs at very decent speed considering it has textures and full Minecraft-style sandbox abilities. The others, especially nKaruga, are very nice as well IMHO.

Since my Bandcamp store is now the official CodeWalrus store (at least until we get merch and a custom store), the music promotion called "My Little Activity: Posting is Music" that has been running since June 2013 will be moving over here starting next month! Basically, this means that the price of my music will be entirely based on how many posts that have been made on CW forums the month before.


The regular price for my full length albums is $6 USD, while the price for my singles is $3. Although it is unlikely that activity will reach ultra-high levels anytime soon, the promotion will work the same way as it did before, except with CodeWalrus forums instead:

1000-2499 posts: 17% off
2500-4999: 33% off
5000-7499: 50% off
7500-9999: 67% off
10000-12499: 83% off
Over 12500: Free music for everyone!

This promotion doesn't apply on individual song purchases nor "Name-Your-Price" (where you choose to pay higher like with with Humble Bundle). If coupon codes are ever offered, then the MLA:PIM promotion will apply after the coupon code is applied. This promotion is subject to end without further notice and isn't valid on spam. You can access the official CodeWalrus store, hosted on Bandcamp, via the top site navigation or here.

Well to be honest it would kinda make some sense that whoever is staff here cross-post or post their own projects here since they're staff.

Regarding activity I guess it's not bad for a brand new forum, considering most new forums don't even get what we got in 1 week in 2 years. On the other hand, I can't wait until public opening because with finals it was very hard to keep the board as active with just 17 members having access. >.<

There is something suspicious that has been found in Boot2 3.9.1.34. See this post by Critor for more explanation: http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=15768&start=10#p174633

Basically, there is a char string in it that reads "Security Breach: Self Destruction Sequence has begun.".  He and others are worried about this, because this message would imply that if a security breach occurs, then Boot2 or the OS either self-destructs or it just outright bricks the calculator.

Since this would be illegal in some countries, I doubt TI would have done that, and the following post, where Critor performed some tests, cannot bring it up http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=15768&start=20#p174755 . However, with everything that TI did in the last 6 years or so (including the signed key controversy), we never know.

Good thing you don't use an iPod Touch 4. On that thing, the touchscreen is so horrible that when you try to click a link, you need to zoom in  until the height of the text take about half of the screen, else it will always click the link below or above or do nothing. >.<. It's that bad.


Also regarding post stats, I thought it would be interesting to show how it elvolved by week (starting from forum creation until today, not Sunday to Saturday):

Nov 12-Nov 18 330
Nov 19-Nov 25 330
Nov 26- Dec 2 496
Dec 3 - Dec 9 388
Dec 10-Dec 16 307
Dec 17-Dec 23 218 (although this includes today which is not done yet)

Regarding post stats by weekday here this is the average pattern so far, keeping in mind that this forum uses GMT timezone:

Sun: 37.1667
Mon: 46.5
Tue: 58.333
Wed: 56.5
Thu: 51.5
Fri: 55.5
Sat: 41

Had we used GMT-5 (Montreal/New York) timezone, Saturday would probably average under 10 and some early week days above 60

Holy hell that gets quite insane near the end!

I also notice the lines are not as thick. Was it done for speed?

Cool to hear. You should probably make a topic elsewhere on the forum that other people can see that documents the Google trick in case other members would like to fix their respective bots. I am curious about what workaround was used as well.

Ah good for you then. But on Cemetech all the people who bricked their PRIZM had them overclocked and it was eventually discovered that the overclocking was the cause. I am unsure if it's related to the fact that certain PRIZM calcs cannot reach 94.3 MHz (some Flash reading errors start happening below that level), but it is suspected that either using RS memory or overclocking was the cause, and one reason to believe that overclocking was the cause is this topic: http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7808&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=120

It's possible that this problem only happens on OS 2.00, though, because it seems that all bricked PRIZM calcs were both running OS 2.00 and overclocked at one point or another. At one point, users were even asking Cemetech admins to remove all games that automatically overclocked the calc from Cemetech downloads section for safety reasons.

Darn this ASM looks different from Z80 ASM for sure. Again I don't really understand Z80 ASM but I recognizes certain instructions so it doesn't give me as much of a brain aneuvrism as other ASM forms. >.<

Good thing on those old CPUs you don't have to write your ASM using only binary.

Would there be a workaround for Google?

Oh ok. If we ever get an Omninet IRC server this Walrii should be in the motd.

I guess it probably depends of the license and who made it. Considering you are contribiting to it it should prbly be fine, tho.
