that looks so cool! i wish i had a calc that supported grayscale well like that!

You could always buy a TI-89. They're *only* $150.

... only.

Or $93.00 on ebay (with free shipping!)

Yay, the second program in a row I've downloaded right before it was featured.

heh heh...$75! I WIN!!! new TI-89. Never opened. HWv2. All linnk cables manuals etc. included. Buy it now for $70 and only $5 shipping! YES! I am the KING of EBAY! YAAAAAYYYY! *shuts up*

By the way, to the staff: You may want to change your guidelines for posting (at least one of them):
"Don't use language you wouldn't hear on U.S. network television"
Nowadays, the words limited for use on US television are VERY scarce. The F-word has recently (within the past 1.5 yrs) been allowed on TV and on that day, the creators of "southpark" used it over 100 times in a 30 minute episode...disgusting

Was it bleeped out or not? I've never heard the "f-word" on TV before. I've heard it bleeped out PLENTY of times, but never without it. I thought they could only do that on channels that you had to pay for. BTW, where can I find a list of what words are and aren't allowed on TV, radio, etc.? I've always been curious about that.
And on that topic, I have heard the "f-word" (LOL, calling it that sounds funny) in PG-13 movies before, but it's pretty rare. Are there guidelines toward that as well?

At least it's not "Don't use language you wouldn't hear on Canadian network television".

lol

Why, is that worse or something?

Canadian TV? Living in Canada, I wish it could be distinguised from American TV. Then again, I rarely ever watch TV, lol, that is for my parents, the computer is MINE

WOW! This is great! People are making so many programs now! This is inspiring. I'd still like to have my HW2 for making games. The HW1 is kinda slow. :(

Anyway, I will just have to fill up my calc with all these new games! Is this the second or third one today?

IMHO, *most* TI calcs can be forced to display grayscale if programmed correctly, e.g. TI-82/TI-83/TI-83+/TI-83 SE.

The TI-82 can definitely do grayscale, but it's much harder to pull off than on the 68k calcs. I don't think it would be able to display graphics like that and have them move in real time, while still displaying grayscale. That would require completely overriding GRAPH_MEM and using your own memory, because GRAPH_MEM uses 1 bit per pixel, and for 4 level grayscale, you'd need 2. You'd have to create a buffer 1536 bytes long, and write your own display functions... it'd be a mess.

Donkey Kong (82) uses grayscale for the title screen, and even then, it flickers quite a bit. The TI-82 can do grayscale... it just doesn't handle it very well, from what I've seen.

My TI-86 displays grayscale just fine.

He doesn't /have/ a TI-86.

Both of these look quite nice. Unfortunately I have access to neither my link nor a copy of VTI (with a working rom), so I can't try either one at the moment. Nevertheless, good work, gentlemen!

d/l vti and PedroM

Oh ho! A very astute observation, sir! I shall do so, straight away.

And you can always download an OS from TI.

which is illegal if you don't own the hardware, although I suppose some people here couldn't care less...

What if the hardware isn't being sold anymore? (Like the TI-82, for example) But anyway, if the worst thing you do in life is download VTI ROMs off the internet, then you're a REALLY good person.

Either way, he said:

"Unfortunately I have access to neither my link nor a copy of VTI"

implying that he still has access to a TI-89, making it legal.

Yeah, he does have a TI-89. He's made some programs for it that I've seen (when we used to have ccoderz). lol

"And you can always download an OS from TI."
How can you use one of those OSs on VTI?
I can't run any new games on my 89, this computer doesn't have 'serial/coms' just PS2 (the pins broke) :'(
I still have my 83,83+ ROMs when I used my calcs on school computers, but I won't be back at school for about a month. (Yay, Nooo) ><
Any help? Or is using Romdump the only possible* way to run VTI? (*-no restrictions)
