MaxMem, TurboBreakOut, SolarStriker, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
Posted by Nick on 26 June 2000, 03:09 GMT

Many apologies for the total lack of news items lately: many things in meatspace took place the past week, ranging from the occasional bowling outage (oh, by the way, I got a 199) to a visitation from Mike "I Came To Chicago Just So I Could Say I Typed On Heatfactory" Knapp (of former #ti fame).

With that Update From Nick Disabato's Personal Life(TM) out of the way, here's "Der Neusposten:"

Julien Muchembled, I KISS YOU!!! Looks like the crafty little guy released a version of Maxmem for the 89 and the 92 Plus that works on AMS v2.04. Check it out if you enjoy procuring such fine games that happen to be obnoxiously oversized.

Flavien Racine decided, one fine summer day, to release TurboBreakOut 68K v1.80 onto an unsuspecting world. New features include French documentation, an enhanced appearance, bugfixes, bigger (by twofold) levels, a new backwards-compatible level format, and one extra set of external levels. Want it? I know I'd be drooling right now: to this end, 89, 92 (Fargo ][), and 92 Plus have been lovingly, painstakingly prepared for your consumption.

Benoit Scherrer and Brian Tribondeau have released this program - I think it's called "SolarStriker" - 89, 92 (Fargo Deux), and 92 Plus versions exist for you to "madly leechx0r." Rumor has it that this is the last (hence the word "Final") version to be created, unless something goes seriously hardcore horrorshow awry. *sob* Their programming talents will be missed.

Hey, I've heard that AMS2.04 has even more bugs! Try this this (Take care, it will crash your calc ;-):
1.Create a new BASIC program (empty if you want)
2.Go to the HOME screen and then archive the file WITHOUT running it before.
3.Reopen the program with the program editor
4.Go back to the HOME screen, and voilą!!
Nasty, isn't it?

BTW: What is that 'archived functions bug' on AMS2.03?? Thanx, guys.

It just sometimes gave you stupid errors if archived functions used each other. Click the link above and then download srmath.zip and srsetup.zip for an example.

I'll try them.

Hey, how are you progressing on Lotus Turbo Challenge??

I called it AUTOmatix 3D to avoid name conflicts, and I uploaded the very first demo about a week ago. I'm more working on the TI-GCC IDE, and using this project as a test for my IDE, so AUTOmatix 3D will be developed much more slowly. I need to program the sprite editor for my IDE at first for what I want to do next, so AUTOmatix 3D will have to wait. I'll be on vacation for three weeks starting this Friday, too.

Automatix 3D, that's the game I'm waiting for.

I have to use DJGPP-rhide to compile programs in C (for PC)... Do you recomend something better(& free) ?
thanks

No idea. I don't program in C for PCs, because I don't like C at all (OK, ASM is worse).

BTW: AUTOmatix 3D v0.01 is there now to download.

Does Maxmem work on any TI 89? What should I do to get it to work on mine?

If your TI89 is:
-HW1
-Ams2.0x
then Maxmem will work.
to find out if your HW is 2, go to "about" section(F1, about) and if it says "Hardware version 2.0" it's because it is(obviously). If not it's because it's HW1.

Then note that in the mem menu, you will see the nice amount of (702k)archive mem, that is not true in HW1 calcs.
See one of the comments a few metters above(at the top, almost).
For ams2.04, you can install this patch, or install a flash program like statistics. Obviously, a flash program takes a lot of thrash mem if you won't use it.
