Ooh, pyramids!

Pyramid as in "strong and solid" or pyramid as in "ancient and crumbling"?

Or pyramid as in strong, enduring, rapidly decaying pile of rock with a dead smelly dude inside?

Both strong/enduring and rapidly crumbling, eh?

You figure its been standing to thousands of years but the crumbleness IS accelerating.

... You just said CRUMBLENESS.

I dubed it a new word. It means the crumble factor.

DUBED!?!?!?!?!?!?! AHGGHASHGGHGGHDGHSAGHASDGHGHADSGH

Yes, short for dubbed.

He dubed the word "dubed".

PYRAM-- oh wait, no... very bad idea. :-X

I was about to do the same thing until I saw this post ;)

I wasn't here when PYRAMID was popular (nor could I find many allusions to it in previous articles, although I've only looked through the *earlier* half). What is its significance?

There really is no significance; it's just something bored people do, like "First Post!".

Wow! Why did it get >500000 downloads, I wonder... ;-)

I love VTI, but am still annoyed about it not supporting flash.

500,000.Wow...That's like, 5 0's!

...And one 5 !

... And zero ones!

Would it really be that hard to combine two programs together...?

BTW, I know nothing about how to program this stuff.. Only BASIC and part of ASM =)

Well, this sure does explain the survey....

-W-

I've never used VTI. I've just always stuck with the TI Flash Debugger (also free). Is there anything that VTI can do that the Flash Debugger can't? I've read the review and it seems that VTI can't emulate flash ROM. The only reason I would think to use the VTI is if I needed to emulate calculators other than the 83+. But still, some 83 users use VTI. Why?

Like me. VTI is really flexible; you can create different skins and load different ROMS. Otherwise, I'm not sure. I guess it's mainly a matter of preference.

I guess I don't care about skins since I can't download them to the real thing. The different OS's sound interesting, but could you load a custom OS to a real TI-83+?

You can upload new OS's to your 83.
<offtopic> The wierdest thing happened today; Mirage was all wierd and messed up looking on this kid's 83+. We reset and sent a new OS to the thing, but it still was messed up. Any ideas?<\offtopic>

>Is there anything that VTI can do that the Flash Debugger can't?
not crash often. not crash the IDE. TIGCC can work whith VTI.

The older version of the flash debugger would crash, but the new version doesn't. The only crashes I get are when I screw around with the asm. Even then the new version seems to be able to keep from crashing.

Though, I have to admit. There is one silly bug that exists in the flash debugger. The scroll bars of the GUI (not IDE) aren't accurate. If you move the slider to the bottom, the content only goes about quarter way. However, keyboard scrolling can get around this, so it really is nothing more than a minor annoyance.

I thought TIGCC worked only for the upper level calculators (like the 89 and 92). I'll have to look into this again. I'm only interested in things that apply to 83+ users. I do hope, however, that TI makes an emulator for their other calculators since they don't seem willing to provide all the information about the hardware to allow a 100% complete emulator.

TIGCC is only ment for the 89ti ,89 ,92 ,92+ ,and V200

E. g. it doesn't support undocumented instructions, so it's completely useless to me, since my programs need them.
