There's like 100000 other sites that show how to overclock the ti83 for example, and this one doesn't work.

Sorry, the page you requested was not found.


I'm going to do it after central examns.

And it shouldn't kill the batteries much faster, not that that matters if you'd just use rechargables.

Works for me, though a couple of debugging errors pop up. (Very annoying.)

Rechargables would be nice, though I've never gotten around to actually buying any...

I turned off debugging errors.


The LCD Backlight is much more interesting... Smile

Maybe. But think about what overclocking could do for BASIC gaming. Not to mention those 3D asm games like Daedalus and Defiance. Here's an interesting 2000 survey from Ticalc...

Have you overclocked your TI graphing calculator? wrote:
No, that's dangerous.  41.6%
No, I haven't had time.  33.9%
No, You can do that?  14.9%
Yes, my calculator is fast now.  6.2%
Yes, but my calculator is broken now.  3.1%
I don't own a graphing calculator.  0.3%

Overclocking may even make some basic games a bit too fast.

That's why it's a good idea to have a switch.

well, who would play basic games!!

unless they are incredibly optimised, their gameplay is crap, and soooo slooooow...


Code:
Lbl 00
getkey->A
(millions of if's)
Goto 00


well, that's a fragment of the code in the game i played, but it was so sh*t you could hardly move

the flash debugger ran it well though...

If your calc is 4 times faster, basic games will be fun.

Write your own games then.

If you make a better game (and we all agree it is better), then you can complain. Plese don't knock other's stuff if you can't do anything better.

It would really take immense programming skills to make a better game.

iMatt isn't talking about all basic games, he's talking about the unresponsive, un-optimised ones.

Which, as of late, could probably mean most of them. There are very few useful basic games (or even programs) made. Most of the ones that are any good are written is asm, usually.

I would like to over clock my calc but isn't it risky? U would over hear the board or something and mass up the calc. I would like to add the leds to make the screen glow too. But it would be great for basic games. Even if the code is very optimised it can still run very slow. U can only optimise so much with the stuff in the catalog. I can't say much since i can't optimise very good myself but still....

Which is the reason I have only just started actually releasing games I made. I didn't want to crowd the TI world with junk.

Current number of files in the TI-83 Plus BASIC Games archive at ticalc.org: 2340. Too bad everyone else doesn't share the same view...

I think I need to find some instructions to overclock a TI-89. See if I can find an old HW1 model and give it some juice. Laughing
