TI Releases TI-84+ OS version 2.55MP
Posted by Astrid on 12 January 2011, 00:19 GMT
TI recently published a new version of the TI-84+ operating system, numbered 2.55MP. The previous version was 2.53MP, with version 2.54MP for the Nspire emulated TI-84+. (I haven't heard of a 2.56MP, but it will probably be included in the next Nspire update, as even-numbered minor releases 2.54MP and following are targeted at the Nspire 84+ emulator.)
According to a posting on the tinspire mailing list, the new software has improved statistics and added new options to Press-To-Test. It was reported on IRC that the new OS uses another Flash page which was unused on previous releases. This will certainly cause incompatibility problems with some older programs that expect to be able to use that page. No word yet on which programs those might be.
You can download the new software for your calculator at TI's website.

One program that might apparently not work anymore is TI-Boy SE. Besides that I don't know if any other program might fail. I heard the OS was also larger, but on the calc the user archive is still the same.

The StatWizards functionality could be easily duplicated on an older OS with a simple TI-Basic program, so there is really no point in updating.

What about the bug in 2.53MP that BrandonW fixed? Is that bug still in 2.55MP?
And what about compatibility with TIEmu8X, Omnicalc, xLIB, CelticIII and so on?

2.55MP has Stats Wizard, which appears in the catalogue. I don't know what it does, but I have implimented it into a program which resets my calc to the default I want, which includes keeping Stats Wizard on. If anyone could tell me what it is, please do so.

Good News everyone, I went to the trusty wayback machine and found Nspire os 1.3. (1.3 being on the newest page that I could get to) as soon as they put up newer pages, we can get to newer OS'es. I got 1.3 by finding the newest page they had and then navigating to the page where you would download the os. the wayback archive actually shows you the code in the os so you need to save it as a .tno. after that, you have 1.3. I'm sure this isn't a groundbreaking event, but I found it interesting I could get 1.3 off the wayback machine. PS to get 1.3, right-click on the link above this and below my name, save target as, .tno and done.
