If anyone can make this game work with AMS 2.03 by 12:00 PM tomorrow afternoon (Monday, December 13) I will personally eat several small rodents. That is all.

Forgot to add, that's US Eastern Time Zone

If you make an AVI or MOV and post somewhere I'll attempt to "convert" it...

cool i wanna see you eat rats

Im just glad to know that with the 2.03 buzz going around here, ticalc isn't ignoring great games.

I was wondering with all this v2.03 stuff going on, is anybody attempting to make grayscale work on HW v2.00. IMO that should be the first step instead of games on v2.03, there aren't even calcs in the US with v2.03 in them yet. Once grayscale is implemented, then all of the really cool games (really large ones) like The Next Dimension can be ported to v2.03:P hehe, now I'm basically saying that this TI-89 game could be ported to the TI-89?!?!?! Kinda messed

Just wondering if there is any developments on grayscale on HW 2.00 calcs

half of what you said I do not understand, but I'll try to answer anyways :P

From what I've read on these boards, people are trying to get grayscale on the hw2 calcs.

People who've installed 2.03 on their calcs have it, so yes, 2.03 IS on many US calculators, just not being sold WITH them.

Large games like TND cannot be ported to 2.03, at least without source code editing as I've read on these boards, due to the 8k limit imposed by the new rom. They have to be made to work with the patch I believe.

TND is already on the ti89, so it doesn't have to be ported, unless you mean port it to the 2.03 rom :P

I installed AMS 2.03 yesterday and there is No Way im going back to 1.0, because:

1) Grayscale is working!!
2) Two of my favorite games - Tetris and Phoenix - are working!
3) I write a grayscale game - its already 20kb long - and its working without changing the source (I just used the new versuin of gray4lib, and "launch" prog)

does it work with earlier ROM versions?

if it does, what is it about?

Do you mean that if I upgrade my HW 2.00 calc to AMS v2.03, grayscale will work? Or is that only HW v1.00 calcs being upgraded to ams v2.03?

There are *NO* (current) grayscale routines that work on HW 2 calcs, AMS 1.05 or 2.03. It will be some time before this happens, as the programmer will have to write their own screen drawing routines to refresh the screen. This is very slow and will cause some major flickering. TI's routines (in the tios.h file) are no good for HW 2 calcs and that is what causes most of the problems.

Dragon Bong Z? What the hell are you talking about?

You probably don't even know what a bong is...

Heh, I'm in college, I think I know what a bong is.

You're in college and you call yourself h4X0R? That's hot, I tell you...f34r m3 l4m3rs!

I like your email, sexathlete@hotmail.com. That cool.

I have the previous version of TND, and I love it.
I am just wondering what this new version does that the last one does not...
Good work Matt.

Does anyone have the problem I have w/ TND, in which after running TND the cursor on the HOME screen slows down excessivly--making it hard to type in problems fast when I'm taking a math test?

Well....I've found if you just turn the calculator off after you run TND, the cursor is at normal speed. No need to reply.

Well......I was mistaken, it is still slow, could someone please reply to my question?

I'll reply, just so you aren't stuck replying over and over again to your own posts :)

LOL, thanks!
