AMS v2.04 for TI-89 and TI-92+ Released
Posted by Eric on 7 June 2000, 23:51 GMT

Reno notified us that TI has recently released the new version of the TI-89/92+ internal software. The new version includes an increased RAM limit for ASM programs (8K to 24K), language improvements, and other enhancements. Download AMS v2.04 for the TI-89 and TI-92+.

Update (Nick): I will say this once and once only:
IF YOU PUT AMS V2.04 ON YOUR CALCULATOR, WE HOLD ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PROGRAMS YOU DOWNLOAD FROM THIS SITE. VERY FEW, IF ANY, ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS, WILL PROBABLY WORK. TI HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DECREASE COMPATIBILITY WITH EVERY SINGLE ROM VERSION AND THEIR "ENHANCEMENTS" USUALLY MEAN THAT ASSEMBLY PROGRAM LIMITATIONS HAVE BEEN PUT IN. DO NOT ASK US WHEN AUTHORS WILL PUT IN SUPPORT FOR V2.04: THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHORS ALONE.
Thank you. :)

Update (Nathan): Okay, I know everyone's too lazy to do it themselves, so I'll just say that I upgraded to AMS 2.04, and DoorsOS II v0.96 installs, but doesn't work (Address error when trying to run Doors). Patrick Davidson informed us that Universal OS works perfectly under this crazy new AMS version, but only under hardware v1.00. So now you've been warned, and as usual, we don't want to hear about it if your programs don't work. Ask the authors, not us. Thank you. :)

Update Purple Monkey Dishwasher (Nick): I've gotten about six or seven emails that this ROM version in fact does transfer over successfully with a black link. Some people were, however, complaining about speed issues.

Double Update Action (Nick): Matt Baum gave me an email showing a brief list of programs and their functionality under this new AMS. It might be of help to some of you.

Well, after becoming fed up with AMS 2.03 lately, I tried 2.04 hoping that it'd be better since it seemed like an incremental upgrade for my TI-89. DON'T UPGRADE TO 2.04 NOW!!! Almost all assembly programs don't work. The only work to execute properly seems to be TI-Chess...

Anyway, I'm not going back to AMS 2.x until TI releases more free FLASH software. I'm currently flashing back to AMS 1.00. If anyone wants the FLASH ROM for any TI-89 ROM version (1.00, 1.05, 2.03, 2.04), e-mail me.

After installing Universal OS instead of DoorsOS, all my old programs work perfectly. 2.04 isn't all bad. In a week or two they'll update DoorsOS (maybe an official release of the new version! It's cool!) and everything will be back to normal. I don't think that anyone will even have to port their programs.

What about HW2 users? I heard that Julien Muchembled said it's impossible to update HW2Patch on 2.04 or something... so in that case everything won't be back to normal.

No it doesn't! I install doors (works ok) and try to run tanks and the calc says busy for a couple of seconds and then turns off. I gotta pull the batteries to make it work again.

I think it depends on what kernel you use.

I don't think I'll be updating any time soon; I think this was to get rid of the abilities maxmem and hw2patch gave....

BTW, if you have a hw1 2.04, can you archive past the 380k mark? (for those of you who still have no clue, and believe you get the full 702k just because it says so on the mem menu, you can only archive to 380k on 2.03 hw1)

I have a TI-89 with the original HW 1. Before I installed the AMS 2.04 ROM, I had AMS 2.03 with MAXMEM installed, thus giving me the full storage potential of the archive. However, after upgrading to 2.04, running getconfig() gives me 393204 for the free archive size. Unless MAXMEM is released for the AMS 2.04 ROM, I guess we're stuck with half the archive memory. Oh yeah, menus such as the APPS and VAR-LINK do come up faster.

Good God! Look at the custom catalog.....it comes up about 3 times as fast. Unlike the "people" here, I use my calc for math and don't give a rat's ass about games. This is mostly because no good ones are out yet. The only exception is Tanks....the best game! I have a HW 2 and AMS 2.04 and am loving it. 3D graphs seem to move faster and so do the popup things.....


Face it, it is going to be the AMS that programs will be built for,

TANKS?! No offense to anyone, but you SHOULD try games like bigdyna, tichess, and phoenix before saying which one is best. Seriously.

It's his opinion. Not all people like shoot em' up games. Or blow 'em up games, as is the case with Bigdyna.

Well.....That's because Tetris IS good. Loved it until I couldn't get to work any longer. BTW Phoenix is good, I just quit it after beating it too many times and having too many upgrades.....Besides, look at Galaxian for the 82, GREAT GAME. Phoenix needs the enemies that peel off too.....
Oh and:

<<TANKS?! No offense to anyone, but you SHOULD try games like bigdyna, tichess, and phoenix before saying which one is best.
Seriously.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I have. I agree that chess is good, and possibly bigdyna, but phoenix gets boring....

I had a HW V. 1.00 once upon a time...I turned it in for a HW V. 2.00....Much better, especially with AMS 2.04!
