Hmmmm. 24 K is still less than 64 K that we had in
AMS 1.05. So, the hackers will try again to break this limit. And this will lead again to delaying of SDK.
I will try to upgrade to 2.04 to see how Tezxas work on it. It does not depend of Doors.

what ? tezxas runs on any rom ? I though tezxas was only for rom1 !! I always wanted to test that on my 2.03 calc.

HW1+AMS 1.xx, HW1+AMS 2.xx and HW2+AMS 1.xx are OK.
It only does not work on HW2+AMS 2.03 combination although it is enough to add only a few assembly instructions to enable it.

Ok...I was tired of dooros because many of the games had little defects in them and they never used to. Example: Jezzball v1.8-w/ dooros the score only comes up on the first level. W/ Teos it works great. All of my ASM games (7) work just like always with AMS 2.04. But I really don't see that big of a reason to change AMS, but I reall haven't looked to what changes have been made. I only checked to see if my games worked.

P.S. If anyone needs the old AMS I have
AMS v1.05 and AMS v2.03

Sadly, this is representing much of the replies... some people want games, some math. What we have here is people talking whether programs are compatible, not whether math is better! Just don't say it isn't worth it because one thing doesn't work, the other might be a lot better! Apparently, though, not that much... I still want LINUX on my TI!!!!!!!!!!

Who's not ready to have linux on the calc? We want that stability (No more "Address Error" on the top of our screens!!!). You think LInus would side with us TI junkies?

Damn straight! Microshaft did this to guys like him, so he created Linux. I only pray to whatever deity it is that blesses us calc junkies that they'll do a Linux 89!

Pray with me Brotheren (and Sistern)!!!

Please don't flame me about religion or bad puns! Thanx!

But would we be able to amke a Linux kernal small enough to fit on a calc without losing too much room for games and stuff and still have a GUI?

Rip out the crap^H^H^H^Hstuff you don't need, and the kernel's actually pretty small.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm just shaky about upgrading, since I have quite a few math programs in assembly/C...

just curious of what math asm programs u have, the archives on TICALC dont have many at all..and the ones that are there are pretty much about fractals :-)

I just have this ASM factoring program because BASIC is too slow, a calendar (dunno if that can be qualified as a math program), and... uh... sorry, I don't have my calculator with me, but there's a few more. But it's ok, since they're all nostub programs, so I guess I'll upgrade because nostub programs seem to work on 2.04.

>I just have this ASM factoring program because BASIC is too slow

Uhh, don't mind me asking, but a factoring program on an 89? What about the factor(expr) command? I doubt that using asm would be fast enough to justify the wasted time and risk of crashing that asm brings to the calculator...I think we're dealing here with microseconds.

You don't understand what I'm saying. Sorry, I should have clarified. It's an INTEGRAL factoring program, which returns {1,2,4,5,10,20} when inputting factors(20). And trust me, it's a heck of a lot faster than basic, because i have the basic version of it as well, and it takes over 2 minutes to do factors(9999) whereas factors in ASM takes less than five seconds.

Ahh, I see. What kind of algorithms are you using though? Hmm, this would sound like an interesting project for me.. I bet it would be fast to use factor() and then parse it and multiply every combination of numbers. If you were already doing this and it took two minutes though....

Hmm, maybe I should finish my current projects first. I'm about done with the internals for a triangle solver. I was making it because just about every triangle solver I download has errors. The only thing I have left to do is set up a system for two sides and one angle opposite one of them..it was screwing up because the sin inverse gives 0-90, not 0-180, but I think I have an idea of how to fix this. I also was working on a BASIC pacman project...the level editor is done and the character can move around the screen pretty quickly, but it will take some good thinking to get the ghost algorithm done (I might just learn asm this summer and do it that way). Don't you just love programming?

Does anybody know why the hell they called it ADVANCED Math Software ?
I wonder it is not censorware... Nothing advanced in that :(

WHAT ? it is advanced !! it's Derive !!! the most common and improtant math software of this world. It only takes 400kb of memory and it's very powerful
The problem is that Derive is VERY old...(except the new one) Ams is based on the old Derive. TI sould optimize their code NOW!

Let's try comparing it to the 83... still convinced?

If anyone wants an older rom version just email me and i'll send it to you.

I have for the 89:
AMS 1.00
AMS 1.05
AMS 2.03

I have for the 92+:
AMS 2.03

P.S. If anyone has AMS 1.05 for the 92+ please email it to me, so i can have for a complete collection of roms for what ever may happen

Thanks to Colin Squier I now have AMS 1.05 for the 92+ which adds to the list of roms I will provide to people who needs it.

I have AMS 2.01 for the TI-89 is anyone would like that.

How about 2.02? I'm kind of curious, since I have never heard of it before I saw it on TI's website...
