TI-83 Plus Outputs TV
Posted by Michael on 30 November 2007, 21:46 GMT

Ben Ryves has accomplished one of the most amazing calculator hardware projects ever: Connecting his TI-83 Plus to a PAL television set. Details and photographs are available at the MaxCoderz forum. He is currently able to display a 304 line image, but with a faster 84+ calculator, resolution could increase. NTSC video should also be achievable. Congratulations to Ben for an amazing achievement!

That would be interesting... Code greyscale games that are also coded to output the I/0 or USB in color to this setup. Super Mario 68K would look glorious! (although have half coding like that would require another file that has the color codes, thus would eat more RAM and processing power...)

Considering the memory & speed requirements it would be much simpler & more effective to add an option to TIGCC & such that switched the output type (& provided constants for the different timings & etc.). Then just produce 2 binaries for each game (as is often done for the TI-92+ vs. TI-89).

That's true... considering the reverse compatibility of most 68K games. I can run 92, V200 games on the 89-TI most of the time. But I still cannot get 83, 84 games to work on the 89-TI... Now to get the big calcs to work with this TV program... shouldn't be too hard with the 15MHZ 68000 processor! (I overclock, but that's just me! :p)
