Vacation Times
Posted by Henrik on 28 June 2002, 22:00 GMT

It is vacation times for the ticalc.org staff. Being based in the northern hemisphere, we will enjoy summer. I know at least some of us will do some extensive travelling around the globe. Due to this, pending files will grow, help mail will be answered with greater delay, and not much new will happen for a month or two.

The ticalc.org staff wishes all our visitors a good summer (or winter if you are below the equator) and hope you all understand we all need some vacation.

Tell us about your own vacation plans below.

I know this is way of subject of vacations but who cares. I've downloaded and installed vti many times but after I do all of that IT WON'T TURN ON!(this is for the TI-83+.) Is there something I'm not doing, doing wrong, or does vti not work with Windows XP Professional??? PLEASE HELP!!!

I bet the problem is one of the two (these are guesses):

1) VTI doesn't run on WinXP correctly
2) Your ROM Image is not compatable with VTI

When the calcultator shows up, then take a hammer to it.

If you did that, you'd have to buy a new monitor!
Unless there is a VHammer somewhere out there.........

This is just an idea, but if you're using an OS higher than 1.12, it won't work. VTI was written when 1.12 was the latest OS.

maybe you could find the guy who wrote the program and have him fix it, or figure out he programmed it and fix it yourself...

I wrote the guy a long time ago and he never returned my e-mail. So I decided not to waste my time sending a million e-mails to get him to write back. As for fixing it myself, I DON'T KNOW HOW. That one almost seemed like a given. It would take months or even years for me to learn how a program that complex works in a language I don't know how to program.

What language was it programmed in???
I've never even bothered with VTI after I put my 86 on it, but I had the same problem with OS 1.14: it sent the program, but it wouldn't receive anything. It was the same with 1.13. TI should seriously make a totally new operating system for 83+. Home screen:


TI-83 Plus Silver Edition v2.01

RAM Restored

TI's flash debugger is just as bad as VTI. Shitt with 2 t's.

He would have to update the program. The source was released, so someone else might already be working on it. For now...you have to get 1.12 or lower. E-mail ti-cares@ti.com and say you want TI-83 Plus ROM 1.12. They should give it to you.

I have that problem, too.
But where can you get 1.12??
No one gives it out anymore, they all have 1.14!!

E-mail ti-cares@ti.com and tell them you want TI-83 Plus ROM 1.12. They tend to give you the ROM any time you ask for it, yet they won't let you download it.

Why don't they put a section in the Archives for TIOS's?

That is forbidden by TI. You'd have to take it up with TI.

Well, there are plenty of "ROM Images" sites out there. But, I wouldn't suggest downloading them all, because that's not good. You should only download them if you have the same calculator.

Yeah, well the way the said it on one site was something like this:

"Here are ROM Images for VTI (download _here_). I have included almost every ROM Image compatable with VTI. NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOU DO NOT OWN THE CALCULATOR. THESE ARE ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY TRANSMIT THEIR ROM IMAGE TO THE COMPUTER"

And then it listed about 40-some ROM Images.

LOL I bet you are (j/k)

Um... I'd have to see if I could find it again. Remind me again (probably in a new news item, cause this one's almost done) and I might have the URL by then.

Good point...

It'd be quite amazing if this article can get up to 1000 comments, and possibly 2000 before the archivers' vacation is over!!!

Fast modem you have,
lest you scream in agony and take a sledgehammer to your CRT--
(I have a 56K...*sniff*)
On another topic...
Can anybody post surveys, or can only the ticalc people do that?

Okay, two things:

>>> "Can you post surveys...?"
Yes... and no. If you write an e-mail to survey@ticalc.org (I think that's the address) then you can suggest a survey idea.

>>> (a few replies back) "What is the URL of the site with the ROM Images?"
Well, I really, really, really suggest you don't download the ones that you don't have, because that's illegal, but what the heck anyway. I found the URL again, so here it is. The website URL is VERY VERY VERY Long, it couldn't even fit in the Web_Page link, so take out the spaces here
http://216.239.35.120/translate_c? hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://ti83 khdv.online.fr/emu.php3 &prev=/search%3Fq% 3Dhttp://ti83khdv.onlin e.fr/emu.php3%2B%26hl% 3Den%26lr%3D%26ie% 3DUTF8%26oe%3DUTF8
Okay that's about it for this post...

Oh yeah, sorry, forgot to say that the site is on a translator (it was german), so that's why the grammar is awful. :)

You can down them all for free (and legally) from TI's online store, i.e. the same place you go for your calc's roms.
I have 92+, 83+, etc.
It's just fine if you don't mind having only the newest roms.
No one needs warez when the original distributor is giving it out for free!

Yeah, I tried that and it works but for some reason the contrast is really low and it won't get darker with pressing 2nd then the UP arrow. I tried both alpha and 2nd. This is with the 89.

*laughs*

Well, I noticed that too, that the LCD display is very low, but [2nd]+[up] doesn't fix it. Use [diamond]+ the plus or minus signs. See that little green contrast sign near those keys? That's where :)

Look at the lower right corner of the TI-89 keypad and you'll see the green contrast controls. You press [diamond]+[+] or [diamond]+[-] to change the contrast.
