Has anyone noticed that all the old shell games for the 83's directories are gone!!?? Were they moved?

Could you elaborate on this a bit? I just took a look and everything seems to be OK.

First off, congratulations to the programmers. But, could someone make this for the TI-83. I've been waiting for something like this for a while. This is probably a stupid question, but does it work for the TI-83?

Of course not! 83 doesn't have Flash tech.

he may have been referring to emulation...

Quick Question:

I have a quick question regarding BASIC programs. Does Mirage OS UnArchive and ReArchive BASIC programs, or does it copy them to RAM and execute them?

Another Question:

There is a way to get around the password protection:

Take out the batteries to reset the ram, and then 2nd mem delete and then delete the Mirage OS App var.

The Solution? Have Mirage OS store the password to a hidden and archived program; this way, the password can never be removed except by clearing it through Mirage OS. Even if the mem was reset and the appVar deleted, the archived program would still exist. This way, the only possible way to eliminate the password would be to clear ALL Memory (including the Archive).

MirageOS does not rewrite basic programs to flash ever, regardless of whether or not you've set the rewrite to flash flag in the options.

As for the your comment about password protection, we knew about this "flaw" since the beginning. What we wanted to do was make it hard enough that the average user would not be able to disable the password, while keeping the system simple. If we created a seperate hidden appvar, we would run into some problems. For example, if the user deletes MirageOS, they couldn't delete this appvar, and it would continue taking up space in their archive. Also, if they deleted MirageOS and then reinstalled it later, their old password (which they may have forgotten long ago) would still be active. And even with a hidden appvar, it doesn't provide complete protection. You can still reset Arc Vars, or unhide via Calcsys or some other tool. We thought the current system provided the best tradeoff.

I see.

But wouldn't the "2nd +" keyhook fix that? Seeming how that does stop anyone from getting into the memory manager... but I may be missing something. But anyways, I'm basically the one person at school that spread ION to everyone and had to fix their calculators everytime they did something stupid... and I plan to distribute MirageOS, but only to certain people due to the fact that most of them wouldn't know what they were doing in MirageOS... so there is no possible chance that they would figure out how to get around my password or any of the other advanced features in MirageOS unless I tell them how to do it.


But besides this, I don't care what anyone says, MirageOS is freaking awesome... a work of art. Well done everyone that worked on it. I've been waiting for a program like this, and I plan on using it to it's fullest. Now if ya'll would just hurry and get the rest of the manual up... hehehe, j/k, take all the time you need.

Thanks :) (The rest of the manual should be up soon).
As for the keyhook, that would work, unless you reset your RAM, at which point the keyhook is disabled. Obviously you can't reset your ram from the memory menu, but you can do it by running a program then taking out the batteries.

Does anyone have any ideas for debugging Mirage programs without having to send them to the calculator (Sort of like VTI)? The TI-83+ simulator/debugger only supports .hex and .app applications and VTI doesn't support Flash

what you have to do is put the app on your calculator, and then make a backup of it... that app will be saved in the rom immage, and you can run it in VTI

just make sure that you don't have anything in your flash other than that app, or you'll never be able to get rid of it in VTI and that's a pain in the ass, cuz you never want to keep those progs on you calc

Problem solved.

Send it to calc with the new glink, then recieve with old glink. Send to TI Flash Simulator/Debugger.

I am using the TI-Graph Link and on my link menu I do not see a "Send Flash Software : Applications And Certificates" submenu. Is there an update I can download or what?

The latest version of the TI-83 Plus GraphLink Software is available at:

Love that Anime!

Wow, now the 83+ has something the 86 has always had: emulation :)

Seriously, though, good job on programming something more useful in the TI community. I'd probably die trying to program something like that. I guess I better hit the z80 books; this program makes me want to try something I know I can't do; anybody want Gunstar Heroes for the 86? :P

how do you send this program to the calculator using a parallel link cable?

u don't

CAN ANYONE tell me how to program movement commands with the arrow keys adn NOT have it flash from have that "Goto" command at the bottom. (Pause it until i do something aka hit a button in other words). Any info would be appriciated.

Wow, now the 83+ has something the 86 has always had: 82 emulation :)

Seriously, though, great job on making something different. Now my nephew will quit whining about how I can play all his games but he can't play mine :)

How do I make new folders?

In the program manager, press X,T,o,n, Y=, Y=, then type in the name you want, press enter.
