TI-84 Plus CE first informations + discovery of the TI-Charging Station CE

Indeed. Plus I am betting if we reported some of those bugs to TI, they would once again bring up the excuse that since those bugs only affect hobbyists which are only 1% of their customers, then they won't bother fixing them. The issue, though, is that sometimes, even bugs that affects most students are never fixed (see the Nspire bugs that have been existing for years)

If HP had as many people working on HP Prime firmware testing as TI does, then the HP Prime would be bug free since the first public firmware. Alas, they only have three or four people.

We have posted a hands-on review of the TI-84 Plus CE here : https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=16086

(PS : you guys should have a bbcode to specify image dimensions

)

Hi Adriweb, I just read the review and it's epic. Thanks to those who worked on it

Also you can use [img width="550" height="400"]URL[/img] to change the image size, but I don't think you can use a size above 1024 KB (you can click the image to expand it, though). http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Bulletin_board_code

Also, glad to see TI-Connect CE 5.0 come out. Does it work with the regular 83+ that lacks an USB link port by the way? I was unsure because TI-Planet specifies TI-83 Plus.Fr in parenthese, but it seemed unclear if it also included the original 83+ and 83+SE (yes, there was a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition).

Thanks DJ Omnimaga.

TI-Connect CE does only support USB calculators.
It means it supports the TI-83 Plus.fr USB, which is a TI-84+SE - thus the parentheses.

Ah right, and now it just messed up my file extension associations D:. I liked being able to send to TI device in original TI-Connect by right clicking files. Oh well, I'll get used to this change I guess. I hope they don't stop providing the original on their site in the near future.

TI-84 Plus CE OS 5.0 now available! http://education.ti.com/en/us/~/media/Files/Download%20Center/Software/84PlusCE/TI-84_Plus_CE-OS-5.0.8eu

source: http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=232242#232242 and http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=16178&p=178828&lang=en

I wonder if that OS will fix the menu glitch that was still present on prototypes?

u/Snektron March 12, 2015, 07:13:18 AM

Probably wishful thinking

u/Dream of Omnimaga March 12, 2015, 03:59:18 PM

Yeah I am not confident that it will be. TI might not see it as necessary to fix bugs that don't impact educational use of the calc.

u/critor March 12, 2015, 07:17:39 PM

TI-84+CE OS 5.0 is now available !

u/Snektron March 12, 2015, 07:44:26 PM

Nice! i also noticed it has a new extension. Let the disassembling begin :3 (not by me, though)

u/Dream of Omnimaga March 12, 2015, 09:47:29 PM

Lol critor I actually posted the link earlier

. Anyway I am curious what is hidden in it. Maybe some people might be able to find out?

u/Snektron March 12, 2015, 11:55:01 PM

Isnt ada like $80? I don't really want to spend my money on that. Besides, i dont really have any OS disassembling knowlege

u/Dream of Omnimaga March 13, 2015, 12:44:22 AM

What do you mean?

u/Adriweb March 13, 2015, 02:34:15 AM

He meant IDA, and it's much more expansive (and not easily buyable) than $80.
There are free "old" versions, though.

u/Dream of Omnimaga March 13, 2015, 02:46:04 AM

Aren't there also other free alternatives including some by the TI community (unless that's what you meant by "old" versions)? I recall that DWedit had a disassembler and I would be surprised if nobody else in the calc scene ever made one that can disassemble any Z80 code.
