why no bomberman for the Ion?? some of us bomberman fans have 83+'s you know.

the 83+ has a slower cpu and a slower copy buffer. just look at the scrolling in some of the games it is snail slow.

i don't care if it's slow as long as it runs and i can finish a (short) game within a 5 minute time period i'm happy.

it's coming. . . can't say more, but it's coming

With the new release of TEOS (1.02) I am finally able to get Bomberboy 89 working on my calculator. But to my dissappointment Bomberboy doesn't stand a chance against BigDyna. It's way too slow even with the occasional speed up with the shoes. Okay now that i've got that out the way. Has anyone notice that the userlib supplied with TEOS 1.02 doesn't work with the doors' shell explorere passsword utility. When I press home, while in the shell, the calc turn off as it should, but when I turn it back on, instead of the usual screen asking for the password, it just return to the shell. So use the userlib that's supply with door's II 0.96 instead. One more thing, you know how when you try to change from the default password to something else, somehow the password is always reset to "doors" and it seems like the password was never change. One way to get around that is to first unarchive userlib, goto the shell, change the password, then archive userlib again. This way your new password will be save, instead of having it reset to doors every time. I am sure that any idiot could figure this out, but it bug me for a while. I just want everyone to be aware of it.

The reason that the password is reset is a result of the way archived libraries work in Teos. Instead of unarchiving the library, it makes a copy of it. In this case, a copy of userlib is created. The password routine then saves your new password into the copy of userlib. But when the shell exits, the copy is simply deleted. Next time you run the shell, the password is still the same thing as it was in the archived library.

the reason why they use this method is to prevent garbage archiving from happening. As long as the file isn't unarchived and simply copied to the ram there is no need to overuse the archive mem

saves your calc:)

Ah, very good - do any other shells, such as UniversalOS do this?

It also might be a good security utility - let's say someone knows your password, and they decide to "change" it just to annoy you... well they change it, without unarchiving first, then they sit back and wait, and imagine the look on their faces when they see you get back into the shell with no problem! :-P

you can try this new bomberman clone.
no, wait! it won't work with Ams2.03.... it has a contrast problem(I couldn't play it even turning the contrast down...).
You've got your problems with Teos. I've got my problems (Crashes , "address error"s , unfreed memory(yes! system=80000 bytes!) , etc etc etc . I know that I make my calc cry , I have a lot of assembly programs in archive/ram and I'm not very patient , But I installed Teos , I sent all the libs ...
Under DoorsOs everything works. Maybe the main problem is the explorer(Doors) , And trying Prosit wasn't a good idea . Maybe I will give Teos a try again...

yea I had the same problem, turned my contrast so high it had a blue tint, i tilted it real far back and I could see the title screen, looks decent if they fix the contrast gradients, I wonder why it overcompensates on 2.03?

I had the same problem i have a HW 1 ams 2.03 And it started out at min contrast and went up to max. I probaly would revert it to 1.00 (I have a TIB file of it) but i do knot know how to do it with the graphlink software. BTW what i saw of the game looked cool.

I think ticalc is becoming bad... This is the nth news, which is taken on tifr, without quoting it !

TI-FR is the first who posted this news so it must be written...

Well, I dont care if Ti-Calc took their news. Hehe, I'm not frech. *how self-centered am i?*

Anywayz, I want bomberman for my 83+.
So???

get a TI89. Who will program Bomberman for TI83 ? I want to see it!!(imposible!)

(Now, someone will start program bomberman for TI83 , so , be patient , don't worry , it will apear soon!)

I think tifr is becoming bad... This is the nth news, which is taken on graphiTI, without quoting it !

Graphiti is the first who posted this news so it must be written...

(BUT YOU'RE RIGHT ! TI-FR quoted)

yah, at least ti-fr gave graphiTI credit

-Trailblazer

I was taling about TeOS ! Graphiti posted was the first about bomber, but ti-fr was the first about teos (it's normal because teh author send it exclusively to them) !

SO :)

When will people learn that you can't steal news. I live in an area with 3 major news stations. If you news station covers a breaking story and then another one covers the same story shortly after should they give credit to the first station? The answer of course is no. What websites like ticalc.org, Ti-Fr, and Dimension-TI are doing could be considered the same. If one site cracks a news story and somebody else uses it on their site is it really a big deal? People that run sites dealing with calculators should want what is best for the whole calculator industry not props for everything they do.

when tifr posted the news , they gave credit to Graphiti , and Ticalc posted the same news many hours after tifr/graphiti . So , He suposed that ticalc took news from tifr , and he complained because ticalc did not give any credit to anybody . Maybe because it's not necessary .But this is not a mayor news station.
Maybe you're right anyway... but if tifr gave credit to graphiti , why ticalc wouldn't do so ? that's because is not the style of ticalc , and maybe they're a mayor news web page . maybe tifr received the news from graphity -so , they gave credit to them- , as ticalc received the notification of the usb ti cable and gave credit to the one who sent the new. You can analyze as you wish...! iufff.

What if TICalc didn't get their news from TI-FR? TE-OS was from Jonah Cohen's e-mail, Lotus was never on TI-FR, and Bomberman was from calc.org initially.

yes , that's right ! and it's not necessary to worry, since news don't have any owner.

Bad : TEos wxas first on ti-fr because his author wants to give exvclusivity to ti-fr !

Why? Is there something wrong with us "Yankees"? :-P

I guess french peoples prefer supporting french sites ;-)

I mean, is it really something to argue over? News is news, no one has to give anybody credit for anything. I think that its nice that the ti sites *usually* give credit to the referrer, but lets not get all huffy puffy over it. Let ti-fr worry about their own news, and leave ticalc alone. Consider it a COMPLIMENT to be given credit for a news article ti-fr...

Hear hear.

These are just calculator sites, people. I'm more concerned with having fun in my work than messing myself up in politics all the time.

Ti.Fr has gotten their deserved props in the past ten or so news items, and then I get yelled at on the eleventh.

There's just no pleasing some people... :(

--BlueCalx

Thaat wasn't important, just for the author :)
Never mind , we don't care !

:)

Don't worry, we love you Nick!

*Throws up hands and gives the I'm-not-gay look*

You're right, ticalc.org is turning into crap. Nick gives a lot of side comments that are irrelevant and not funny. The news posts are late. And the archives still need to be overhauled. Unfortunately, no TI site has stepped forward to take complete dominance of the scene like ticalc once held.
