Does anyone know if the *fragile* TiBoy SE worls with the new OS?

i donno...
but since i have a TI-84 that is not supported even previous to the new OS i dont have much hope that it would...

tell me if you have tried it

It surely won't run.

We've allready investigated the problem on UTI.

The problem is hardware, not software.

Look at the letter at the end of your serial number.
Every hardware revision H and above will fail with TI-Boy SE.
You must have a hardware revision G or below.

Well, to be more specific, if it can run on your calculator with the old OS, it will run on the new OS just fine.

sigh... sucks to be us... owning a newer TI-84 :(

I loaded it, Poke Red works fine.

If it worked with the old one, it will work on the new OS. If it didn't work before, it never will unless you buy an old SE off ebay or something

I installed the OS. I don't so much programming anymore, so it doesn't affect me that much. The "pretty print" style is nice, especially for getting answers.
Also, some of the new functions are quite useful. You can now do logs of bases other than ten (without a program) and find the remainder of a division problem.
Besides the fractions, the carat-exponent is changed, as well as the root.
About the slowness, I experienced none of that with my BASIC program. It doesn't use the homescreen, so I don't know about that.

All in all, a much better update than past OS's. Way to go TI!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there was a way to do logs of different bases on the 83/84/+/se/ family before this update. However, it may now be much easier and more explicit to do with the new update, but I haven't gotten a chance to test this out so I'm just basing this on memory.

It's good to see that TI is doing a few things of note that aren't aimed at killing the opensource programming community surrounding their products /end soapbox statement.

You are right, there was no "easy" way to do it, besides the change of base formula...

Overall, I think it was a good update for non-programmers, but I kinda wish I saved an old version of the OS, as it doesn't play well with Shells

hey, the CalcUtil link is messed up. theres a random "target=" at the end of the url.

Fixed. Thanks for letting us know!

no problem.

I also noticed that, on my calc at least, if you crash it 4 or 5 times (like with Omnicalc's entries menu), it will freeze up the next time its started. holding buttons for about 1 second makes it work, but you can't turn it off. Resets don't help. After a day, it goes away.
Don't know if its just my calc or not, but its annoying.

um... hello?

is it just me? or does xLib not run properly on this new os either???

i am not sure because i never tried xlib before anyways... but today i decided to try a program that requires xlib... but it simply doesn't work...

as in ... even after i made sure many times that i have enabled XLib, the program would always still simply say (please enable xlib) or other basic programs would simply crash...

no, xLIB doesn't work on the new OS.

kk... just making sure...

since i just tested it with Celtic III as well...

and that seems to kinda work... but all th programs are messed up in graphics and controls... so it could be either Celtic is not compatible with those programs, or perhaps its the new OS working its evils again...

IS it just me or does sometime does the shortcut keys don't work and occasionally when i run a program that uses the graph, part of it get sucks on top when i return to the home screen

The graph thing is a bug. Some apps have hooks that muck up the ALPHA+F1-F4 shortcut menus.
