Hmm, if anyone doesn't mind cracking their nSpire open and taking some pictures, I would be greatly obliged. I don't currently have a small enough torx driver =/

EDIT: Wonderful! Thanks calc!

What's the current status of C/C++ coding on the Nspire? Last time I checked, support for non-assembly languages was pretty minimal.

I know it's very poor, but we are doing some tests with GeoGeo support (Yaronet = french) on TI-bank (french)
http://tibank.forumactif.com/programmation...pixel-t5058.htm

We manage to set a pixel on, to set a point with a global orientation instead of a screen one, make a picture converter, a cursor manager, and other stuff. It is very simple but it could helps some beginners Smile

Actually, the LCD controller supports monochrome STN, color STN, and TFT screens. I'm not sure if the screen is replaceable though (and the TI-OS and most other software would no longer be compatible)



I wonder what would happen if you switched the screens and let loose. If the thing plugs in, and the controller is designed to work with it, there's a chance.

well then, you first, im not risking it for a very marginal gain considering everything would need to be rewritten

How about prrlhkr, who has already disassembled his calculator?

Also, depending on how it works, I think that there is a chance that little or no rewriting would be necessary. Perhaps the patch could be as small as having the OS output a R=0 B=0 G=O command with each pixel.

If we didn't switch to a color screen, just a grayscale TFT, we might be able to pull it off with little or no change to the OS code.

I've got a little bit of a question here. How do you send .tns files to the emulator?

0- Make shure you have a folder on the emulate calc named "Examples" (yes, in english)
1- Link > Connect
2- Link > Send > +find your tns file
3- Link > Disconnect

BTW Goplat, a combined Connect + Send command with arbitrary target folder would be great Smile (though probably not first on your todo list)

Yeah, I have to admit, it came even sooner than I thought. If TI hadn't left the boot2 update unencrypted, none of this would've ever happened. Incompetence is always their downfall.

Congratulations to the creators of Ndless! Only a handful of people get to go down in history as being the ones to unlock assembly/C on a graphing calculator, and I'm glad I was able to watch it unfold.

I have three important questions and one semi-unimportant question:

1. Is ndless reversible? I really don't want to do something irreversible.

2. Does it work on 64 bit Windows?

3. Do you need TI's connect program installed to use it?

4. Where is the GameBoy Emulator?

I have a good feeling whenever I see history like this unfold. This is only the second time in almost two decades where a TI calculator has been hacked to this extent to include external programs. Great work!

1. Yes
2. No idea
3. Yes (though it's actually called TI-Nspire Computer Link)
4. It's in ticalc's upload queue Smile
