text(-1,... is not a hiddenfunction, because it is documented. let's get this straight people!
If it's not in the official manual, it's undocumented.
Some people just have to get so technical...  |

Here are some hidden functions, tricks, and glitches that i like to play around with and/or do:
Lowercase Letters:
AsmPrgm
21148A3E08AE77C9
Erasing the Run Indicator:
For(X,0,500
Output(1,16,"[single space]
End
Erasing the Done Message:
Clrhome
Disp "Hello
Pause
ClrHome
Output(5,2,"Goodbye!
Stop
Gettting rid of the Done message in On-Calc Hex Assembly:
AsmPrgm
FDCB00AEC9
C9
Inverted Text:
AsmPrgm
FDCB05DE
C9
Uninverted text:
AsmPrgm
FDCB059E
C9
Blue Lines:
AsmPrgm
3E1F
D310
C9
Cool Scrolling:
-On the home screen press [alpha], ["], and then anything you want after the quotation mark.
-Press [sto->], [vars], [7], [enter], [enter]. This will store your previous entry to Str1.
-Press [2nd], [(-)], [+], [2nd], [(-)]. Press [enter] many times until the calc says ERR:MEMORY.
-Clear the screen. Press [2nd], [sto->], [2nd], [(-)], [enter].
-The scrolling will stop when it is finished. Pressing [clear] will reverse the scrolling process.
To create some cool looking patterns, use some of these in the first step:
"3[4 spaces] 141592654"
"*[4 spaces] *********"
I got these from Jamcalc.org( What used to be Jamcalc.org). |

Self-Test? Do you really want to clean out the entire FlashROM chip like that and wait forever!?
Dude! Using the code found in my sig is a lot faster than that. |

There is a flag to turn on for lowercase letters.

You could also type something on the program's last line to have that be displayed instead of Done.

You don't need more than one C9.

AsmPrgm3E18D310C9 will undo blue lines. |

It's interesting to hear about the self test, im not sure if i wanna let it run...lol, mayne i will back up my calc and do it.... the blue lines arn't really good for the screen, the run indicator thing works only on the home screen, and if u just put:
Output(1,1,"", it will remove the done screen also...
Interesting stuff though... |

Code:
Text(-1,0,90," "
end quote to show the 1 space |

Did you honestly not know that, or are you being sarcastic? |

| Honestly didn't know it. As good as TI's manuals are, I would never have believed anything in the OS was undocumented. |

The point of the Self-Test is NOT to wipe the FLASH. The point is to make sure the FLASH is working. |

| And the total mem-clearedness of your calc afterwards just an unfortunate side effect. |

The Selftest is save, right? So if I just have back ups of everything, my calc (graphing handheld!!) will still work? How long does it take to entirely wipe out the memory?
Yeah, i'm asking this because i want to try! Another clean up besides the dayly Ram Clear and the Weekly Mem Clear. Now: the monthly self test! |

I wouldnt recommend doing it if I were you. Something unexpected can happen. I have two calcs to Prove it!  |

| Unless you happen to have an extra calc you're not worried about. |

Down with the evil 81 regime!!
And I don't see the purpose of Daily Ram Clears, Weekly Mem Clears, or Monthly Self Tests. What gets on my calc, stays on my calc. |

the Daily ram clear is because Mario bugs so much, the weekly mem clear isn't really weekly, i only did it once  . But it helps to clear your whole memory now and then. Computers should be formatted twice a year too, cuz they get filled up with spyware and stuff, what makes it run faster.
Like if you had two computers that are the same, but one computer was hooked to the internet for a year, and the other one is just completely formatted, the formatted one is way faster. Why wouldn't that apply to calcs? |
