Description ::
Contains an additional 64 characters for use in Basic programs.

I asked the same question before making this program, and learned that it can't be done without Assembly.

Those tokens are probably reserved for the internal activity of the calculator.

They work perfectly on my 84+. And in the TI Progam Editor you can even find a those chars in the TI83+ Function tree...

Also I wonder which chars you can actually get; I've Attached a pic with all I have currently in a Basic prog. Does anyone have any others?

Blue chars are accessible through the TIOS, green are hidden chars and the red ones I don't have (yet?).

Are you sure about the last two characters? CalcSys disagrees with you...

Why the heck is the screenshot pic suddenly transparent? I hope all aren't like this now; it was much better the other way...

That's possible, because I don't know the Hex value of the last two chars. I just copied the table from the internet but the $ and ß weren't in it. I simply put them at the end.

Isn't character x03 (v) one of the sequence functions?

That was my fault—Now that I see it like this, I'm thinking without transparency is indeed better.

Nope, that v is only used in the uv option in the Format menu when the calc is in Seq mode.

[2nd][8] looks the same as [Alpha][Alpha][V]
00000
00000
10001
10001
10001
01010
00100

which slightly differs from char #03:
00000
00000
10001
10001
01010
01010
00100

I can't believe I never noticed that before. I wonder if they meant to do this...

Hey does anyone remember the method of typing a character's hex code into an empty program, compiling it and then unlocking?

I'm looking for the %, but I can't remember the specifics.

Thanks!

You type the character's hex code into an empty program, compile it using asmcomp and then unlock using any asm utility.

the code for % is BB then another byte that I can't remember.

Do you also know the hex for making it appear in Mirage? It's the only asm utility I have on my calc at the moment, and my link cable's being weird.

Thanks!

Actually, I think creating a string with lowercase letters then editing that using CalcSys is easier.

I believe this will work. Funny, though, that you started the thread. Smile

Not really, it was split from another topic. Surprisingly enough, though, I was the one to post the assembly program trick.

Haha yeah, no wonder I remembered there being a way to do it. :biggrin: I think I experimented with it a little, then forgot about it.

Thanks!

EDIT: GAAH! It certainly works, but my calculator definately didn't like me accidentaly running that program. The friendly RAM Cleared message let me know that almost the entire ridiculously-close-to-being-finished-game this was intended for got deleted. (As well as a few others I rather liked Sad)

Oh well, at least I had the first part of the program backed up in a group, the rest should be a fairly straight shot.

Siiiiiigh

Whenever I run any asm program that I haven't run before (or that is compiled from hex values, typos are easy!), I alway archive/group everything first then unarchive/ungroup afterwards. It saves a lot of time in the long run.
