Yet Another Shell (YAS) v0.79 released
Posted on 21 January 1999, 00:51 GMT
Aaron Curtis has released Yet Another Shell (YAS) v0.79 for the TI-86. This shell supports better emulation than both ASE and Rascall. The primary feature of this shell is the ability to run programs that are larger than 12KB. The limit for this shell is about the same as that for the TI-85, which makes it a very realistic emulation. This shell also supports folders, program renaming, moving, deleting, etc., as well as icons. TI-82 emulation is already under development and TI-83 emulation may be on the way as well. Additionally, Kirk Meyer plans to use different methods of TI-85 emulation to give Anaconda a size limit similar to that of YAS (about 32KB).

Program size?

When it says it can run programs larger than 12k is it talking about TI-85 programs or 86? If it's TI-86 programs then that is quite an impressive feature since the 86 has been so long without it. Also, if this is true, what about games that have been split up like Joltima and Quest III ? Will those still work or will they interfere with the shell and crash? Or just tell me that the size limit is talking about TI-85 programs so I can shut up =).

This shell sucks. I can't keep it on my calc for more than 15 minutes without it crashing. For some reason, it has a particularly hard time with Jezzball 85. 90% of the time Jezzball crashes.

This is a really cool shell. Finally I can play MCMik Daedalus, and Little Dude 2. How can you emulate 82 and 83 games to run on an 86? This is a general question, and does not really regard to YAS, which as I would like to again say is very good. If someone could please e-mail me with instructions, I would be eternally grateful.

Sounds great!
But does anyone know if the emulation is better than
ASE or Rascall and how long is it going to take to get 82 and 83 emulated?
Thanks,
Josh

why is it that when I try to run balloon on either YAS
or Rascall the levels never show in the choose level place.

I noticed that YAS triggers the atomatic power down
when left idle, nice feature but does it work in games too?

Do Aaron or Kirk have a website? It would be nice to see the progress on each of their shells.

This shell is pretty tight! (Though Rascal looks cooler =P) Everyone's alrdy said ho cool it is to run deadalos(or whatever it's called) so I won't. I have found a prob however. IT CRASHES WHEN I TRY TO RUN A BASIC PROGRAM!!! OK, sorry, I overreacted, but it's damn annoying. I program BASIC every now and then and I lost a lot of code cause it crashed when I was trying to test my newly written program. This isn't serrious (you can just manualy run the BASIC prog) but it'd be nice if it was fixed. I tried to run the another BASIC program to be sure, and it still crashed. If anyone else has this prob, say so. (who knows, maybe my calc is just screwed up =P) Anyway, thax!

Nice shell...if you like your calc freezing up and all your memory being cleared.
It's got potential, but I'm sick of having to resend all my programs
