Nimbusos Beta 5.1

Yes, special hardware like an IR link would work. Essentially, if the hardware is right, the calculator won't be able to tell that the link is not physical!

Will NimbusOS support Crunchy OS compressed programs in the future?

Probably, we will look into it.

So what type of programs will Nimbusos be able to to read?
and also how about you guys make it be able to read ti-82 games or whatever like mirageOs does?

In the future Basic, Asm, Ion, and maybe Mirage. Possibly even crunchy.

Yay!! I like nimbus way better even without the mirageos support. Anyway to make a better picture modifier?

What do you mean?

Like a better draw interface.

i think he means a picture editing prog (like the [2nd][(DRAW)] functions...

i found a bug: sometimes, when you opened Nimbus OS, some programs are hided from the memory management and delete menu on the calc. Also, it said Mario wasn't a real program, while it worked just five minutes ago. When i sended a new mario to the calc, it sometimes showed both, and they worked. But sometimes it showed only one and that one didn't work. I solved it by clearing my whole memory, but i don't think that's a real solution Razz

And, another Mario bug: it showed a lot of 0's instead of normal text, and when i opened a level, it was al screwed up, and it crashed, telling me my ram was cleared. I never saw that using MirageOS (though Mirage cleared my RAM every five minutes). I solved that one by sending Mario to the calc again. (not a real solution either)

That's a Mario bug, not a Nimbus bug. I've had Mario clear my memory/stop showing up in Mirage also.

does Mario version 2.0 has less bugs? Cus i don't want to reinstall Mario every day Razz

Much less.

i can't open a stupid basic program in Nimbus...
I can't even select it, when i try to, Nimbus freezes, and clears RAM. How can that be possible? It's just a graph-based root program... is pretty big though. If you just open it using the prgm menu, it works OK.

Give me a link to the program. I have not seen any Basic programs that crash NimbusOS.

ummm
when you press [2nd]->[Quit] on any BASIC program, nimbus crashes and the RAM clears...

leofox · Posted: 26 Apr 2004 10:57:42 am Post subject:

the program is gone, cuz my back up diskette froze. It is a very crappy program with some key loops (goto and lbl loops), i used it as a interface for programs ( i made it myself). Maybe it was too crappy Laughing

i'll try to get it from another calc...

I took a look the OS, it looks awesome. AWESOME job! Any more news on new features or progress? Also, what do you guys think about mirage OS?

Keith Pierce · Advanced Member Joined: 02 Feb 2004 Posts: 411

MirageOs is good.... But if this one is completed and the bugs are fixed this one i believe will be the best!

leofox · Posted: 05 May 2004 01:54:25 pm Post subject:

well, mirage is made by a company that makes apps preloaded on the TI-83 plus SE (puzzpack by detached solutions) they must be pretty good. So if this one's better.... cool!!!

DarkerLine · Posted: 05 May 2004 05:43:49 pm Post subject:

Not necessarily. Are you saying that whoever wrote the Probability Simulation app, also preloaded, was good at programming?
But I agree with the statement about DS.
