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.

even doors crashes with ams 2.04.

Doors crashes a lot with 2.03 too... what's your point? ;-)

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.

Tanks works :)

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.

ummmmm

doorsos()
tanks()

it works..

ohhhhhh
sorry
i meant kernel()
doorsos doesnt work
hehe

It workd great! download all. I have a TI-92plus and fater putting it on everything worked just fine

dang... broke out the red for this one?? wow... I dont think i've EVER seen red in a ticalc news article before...

i thought i was at the wrong site for a sec ;)

Desperate times call for desperate measures. ;)

<font color="#FF0000">blah :)</font>
And yes, I know that doesn't work.
It was just funny to look at. :)

Igonow.

Uh... yeah. Anyway... ;-)

So who's up for blasting ti for their (once again) lack of listening to the customer?

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.

hey i've tried all those games and i think tanks IS the best, alongside tetris
yeah, 'thats cuz i wrote it'
dont care!
:oP

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!
