all i can say about this game is that the graphics look amazing. i think i'll have to break out the ol' 89 to give it a try.

so i just played it, and the graphics are really good. but the controls seem a little awkward, with the same button used for jumping and for shooting. i think that also there might be too much graphics for the calculator to handle very well, and it can be difficult to distinguish different things in the game.

All I get is a bunch of random dots across the middle of the home screen when I run it.

Sounds like a memory problem. His program is probably trying to allocate memory you don't have.

I have a Titanium but I loaded the titanium version. Hmm...

Geogeo forgot to fix PolySnd for the Titanium. This will be fixed in the next version.

On mine, a HW2 AMS 2.09 89, there are two columns, about 15 pixels wide, on each side, where the colors are inverted. Is this normal?

maybe it's just me, but neither one of those new links are working.

It's probably the software.

I am the creator of Nebulus. Sorry for this bug which I have just discover has the moment, it is a bug of Polysnd which appears only on TI89T. :o(

I correct the bug tomorrow.

How do you get it to work on the 89T?!?

I am also the creator of PolySnd. I have just to correct a bug with the ghost space in interrupts routine so that Nebulus is completely compatible with the TI89T.

The game work correctly of TI89/TI92+ and V200.

He's referring to the very bug you reported. He asked me what could be the cause and we traced it down to be probably caused by PolySnd trying to use the ghost space. So I expect it to work when he fixes that issue.

By the way, the "random dots at the middle of the home screen" are normal (ttstart does that to bypass the execution protection). What is definitely not normal is that the game crashes at that point. :-)

Cool. I hope it gets fixed and updated soon. I want to play Nebulus!

I do not have a ti 89/92+/v200 but I want to know how does drawing dots on the screen stop an access violation of the memory?

The RAM area which is never protected against execution by AMS and the RAM area used for the LCD nicely intersect. :-)

ok makes sense now
I dont do 68k, but I do DO Z80 ASM an I
understand how memory areas and all that stuff work

isn't that screenshot from the TI92+ or Voyage 200?

Yes, Nebulus also supports those models, and it actually looks better on them than on the TI-89 because of screen size constraints.

This must be the coolest game that I ever played!

This game is so hard, even on very easy. I am afraid to try it on any other difficulty setting.

so is the game working on ti-89t without any bugs..

how come this site(ticalc.org) doesnt have any forums?????

> so is the game working on ti-89t without any bugs..
Not yet, as you can see in comments above, but this will be fixed very soon.

Isn't this a board ??

If you want a board to talk about Nebulus and various other software, I suggest http://pub26.ezboard.com/ btichessteamhq (the official TIGCC/TICT board), especially the Custom Beta Tests section at http://pub26.ezboard.com/ ftichessteamhqfrm10

<offtopic>What are you posting on?!?!?!?!</offtopic>

<way offtopic> Wow, was ticalc.org down at about 10:56 EST 6/21/04 ?? </way offtopic>

No.

Whoa, I'd never seen you post before!

<back on-topic>
The graphics look AMAZING, but I don't know if I have enough memory on my TI-89 for it... I'd have to clear some stuff out...
</back on-topic>

Me neither...
You could always get a TI-89t; then you'de have plenty of memory!

A message board.

i meant like where you can create your own topics...

There is a Google Groups 2 board called TI Calculators. Click the link to go to it.

Yeah theres that google place or I suppose you could make a suggestion to the ticalc staff. You might get lucky.

Sorry *there's*

Because these are better.

Ti-Gen web site has a forum. ;)
It is possible to speak in English.

http://pws.tigen.org/forum

Yes, but to use them you have to understand french. Otherwise you are a baffoon and you are posting stuff that has no relivance to what is being discussed.

I just want to say, there is nothing more annoying than the noobs coming in and wanting changes made to the site. I know I was once in that camp, but recently I have realized how useless it is. The site is as it is. There were no open forums before you signed up, there still aren't any, nor will there ever be open forums on ticalc.

Another point that you will have to come to realize is that there will be no changes to this based on user input, unless they have asked for it first. Then, and only then, will the staff listen to anything we have to say. So, save it.

What about bribes? $20 should do the trick.

lol, $20 to completely design and run a new system and change the entire ticalc.org site construction?...so that would be about... $0.50 an hour...and annoy everybody.

If every active user contributed a dollar, it would be much more than enough to pay someone to create a forum.

$2!

"$2"

It didn't seem to me as if he was complaining; he was just asking why it was so.

At first, I thought that it was quite strange. I think that I have finally accepted it now. :)

MWM

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah, I used to want the open forum, but now I don't really care. I mean, it's their site, they can put whatever they want on it. So, if they say no, I have to accept that. And so I did.
