Never mind, found the old document

old post:

I posted this topic a while ago but lost the document that I saved the answer to so ill try again.

I am trying to get the current time in assembly for my ti84+SE. the routine i'm thinking of pushes 3 values to the floating point stack. these three values are the hours, minutes, and seconds of the current time.

I remember having this discussion fairly recently...

The routine you're looking for is GetTime (515B). It's only available on OS 2.30 and above, and it's quite slow.

If you need something that's faster and/or works on all OSes, you could do this:

Code:
   ld hl,OP1
   ld bc,$0449
read_clock:
   dec c
   ini
   jr nz,read_clock
   ld de,60
   B_CALL Div32ByDE
   ld a,(OP2 + 3)
   push af
    B_CALL Div32ByDE
    ld a,(OP2 + 3)
    push af
     ld e,24
     B_CALL Div32ByDE
     ld a,(OP2 + 3)  ; A = hours
     pop bc  ; B = minutes
    pop de  ; D = seconds
