mmmm.. pi.....

Back to the topic at hand. I used this shell back in the day for all of the week that I had an 83. And by back in the day I mean freshman year. By had, I mean had one I found.

I found previous versions of Venus to work quite nicely but if memory serves me properly, I think ION 1.6 was smaller in size than Venus so ION won out.
Usability just seems to be the normal shell like access. These days people have been messing around with compression but I don't see that occuring much on the 82, 83, 83+ since they have limited memory to be messing around with decompressing.

POST SCRIPT:
- Where's the Screenshot? =P

Nope, Venus has always been smaller than ion, and it runs ion programs as well. There is no reason to use Ion.

Not exactly, the extra service offered by Venus is the ability to run assembly programs directly from the prog menu, as if they were plain basic programs.

Timmc> Even Venus + the ION- and SOS-compatible shell are smaller together than ION.

There was a reason for installing ION instead of Venus back in the day; but as I don't have an 83 on my at the moment I wont be testing it again. It had something to do with compatibility and crashing.

That's true. Earlier versions had problems with some Ion programs. Since 2.3 that's no longer the case though.

It's time for Venus 3.0 > TI-83/TI-83 Plus/84 Plus compatible... S:

Due to the way venus works, programs would need to be unarchived. Bad idea.

Your CrunchyOS archive method may be used.

If you attempt to run an archived program from the homescreen, you get an error. That's why venus would be impractical to port to the TI83+.

No screen, but otherwise, thes is good! ;D

Not really need for a screen shot, seeing its most usual use, now is there?
