Seeing how he is going to release gooey89 on 01/01/2000, I hope that the "millenium" bug doesnt wipe out his harddrive before he is able to release his hard work!

HA HA HA
NOW THAT WOULD BE FUNNY

Why is h4X0r's webpage gone? It's back to the old one with just the list of games that work.

The webpage is gone but you can still use the message board.

<<Hello, I am h4x0r :(

I believe that you all hate me now, is this correct? I am no longer
"felling the love." Anyways, I have closed my website, and stopped
production on my worthless project, it seems that you guys want to use TI's
and Doors, so be it. Anyways if someone still believes me, hopefully, you
can email me, and I will give you what I had. My hands are shaking from the
frustration, if I did not answer you yesterday, I am sorry, I had to go, and
I could not defend my self. But know with just two people, everyone has
turned against me, thus I say, goodbye.

--h4x0r>>

There ya go.

BS!!

Was that an email from him? I didn't see the << and >>

Nevermind. Stupid me. I read the TI message board.

Thats an email from him to the a89 list.

NO!!!!!!!
I DONT CARE IF ITS A HOAX!!! I DONT CARE IF ITS CRAPPY!!!

I WANT TO AT LEAT TRY GOOEY BEFORE I DECIDE IF ITS WORTHLESS!!!!

I beg H4x0r, if Gooey isnt a hoax, PLEASE reconsider.

what would have been so great about Gooey? as far as i can tell, it would've simply been just a(nother) compiler with flashapp capabilities... and really, what's so great about that? if i were to write a 9K game and compile it into a flashapp, it would take up 16K! unless you're going write 200K+ programs, i really see no advantages.

the 16k app size is only for the 83+

For those of you who think this is all a hoax, I'd like to point out a few things.

h4xt0r did mention somewhere that you must use a special software to send Gooey to your calculator. This could mean that he has found a way around the signature checking to write directly to the FLASH ROM. After his OS is in control, he could naturally sign any other FLASH apps.

Also, he actually had since the first TI-89 came out to create such an application because, as you should notice, the AMS Flash upgrades were the same for HW1 and HW2 calcs, and h4xt0r could have disassembled (or used a debugger such as that of VTI) to study the OS. He could then program a shell that could run on any hardware version.

This is all speculation, of course.

-inigma?

I wonder why he didnt think of this...
- Matthew

Unfortunatly the encrypted checksum is checked everytime a flashapp is run, so that means he would have to run it without using the flashapp menu.

I really wish people would just keep their speculations to themselves until the release date has past. Then we would really know the truth. Thank you.

I am just trying to prove how it could be done. Besides, it will probably NEVER be released; just check his website.

-inigma?

i seriously doubt that there was anything to be released in the first place. anybody e-mailed him yet? i'm interested in what he has to say.

I'm beginning to agree. I've just emailed him and am eagerly awaiting a response. But I have a question.

If this were a hoax, how would he have handled the release date? He couldn't have counted on some people to say it was hoax. And what is the personal gain from this?

-inigma?

I bet money he was going to claim Y2k and that was why he put the date the day after new years

Hey H4xor!

You close Your project because some people think that it is a hoax? Come on, why don't to You want to prove them that is NOT a hoax? Or can't You prove it??? :-(((
