Ok I don't think I feel like a good enough programmer to be part of this really good group!

I hope some good ASM programmer is going to join TCPA and make good programs.

btw, amitek, how often do you go to this site? Since almost every new news item I see, you are the first one to post a comment. =)

Not very, you see I get online, get songs on Napster and go to ticalc.org - it's kind of a ritual and since I think Nick was posting at similar times, I had enough luck to get first comment and couple of times. I go here regularly, but not that much.

TCPA's just trying to be like Void Productions ;)
Just kidding, good luck to the TCPA with their future pursuits.

dude........ ehh, whatever. good job on Zelda.

Happy Birthday btw

Wow, only 8 days late.... :)

Wow, I only visit TCPA when there's news about it. Fine, I retract my statement :)

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could send me Rom v1.00 for the 89. I e-mailed TI several times but they haven't sent it to me. My e-mail address is bwetzel@acsworld.net

you can download it in a TIweb page that is linked to TI-FR.org( In "links"and you will need to start to search , because I don't remember which page ) .
There, I downloaded it for virtual TI . 500/600kb long , not a problem if you have a good modem .

wait a minute
are you thinking in downgrade your calc from 2.03 to 1.00 ? Don't ! maybe it's less dangerous to learn assembly and port some games !
OK , you're right , who dares wins anyway....-

You can get all the rom versions here. Ginyu out!

Hmmm... I have been trying to find a source for learning either Z80 or M68000 assembly language (book, site, etc.), but haven't been able to find one. People discussing this posting should know assembly, so if anyone can recommend a site or book or anything please reply to this posting!

You can find sources in the Assembly directories on ticalc in the archives, or you can find tutorials in the programming section on ticalc.

do you mean that you didn't read the tutorials? because there are millions of these in many sites !
Many people here are programers , I'm a TIbasic programer of 2 stars not 5 , so , I don't think we should know assembly

I was thinking, it would be really nice if one of the assembly programmers could put a ton of remarks (comments) in their source code. Maybe one of the excellent assembly programmers at TCPA is reading this (*Dan Englander*). I have been programming basic on the calculators for a while and I program in C++ and Visual BASIC. I have been trying to learn assembly for quite some time, but every time I try to look through source code, for assembly programs (83+), I am just completely lost. I find that there are very few remarks (I believe it's the ";" if I'm not mistaken). So I was just wondering source code in the future could be written with a whole lot of internal documentation, so us basic programmers could better understand the assembly code. Thanks a lot.

Read Jimmy Mardell's code. He is one of the best programmers to learn from. Excellent Z80 sources would be Sqrxz and ZTetris.

Yeah, that would be nice wouldn't it. Maybe Dan will consider that sometime. cya...

btw, my source to FlagScan is fully documented and commented, not that it is of any meaning though... =P

When I actually finish Xenophon I might release source for it, every line is fully commented.

That's a nice site. Now, all we need is one like it for the ti-89. I was just looking at the HP site, and in general we have a LONG way to go before we *seriously* compete with the HPs.
