Rusty did an EXCELLENT job with VTI... too bad he's no longer working on it, because VTI does need a little extra work. I can't even use the debugger's address logging feature or whatever it's called because VTI either crashes or freezes every time I try to do so. Not to mention the other crashes I've encountered with it, like sometimes when switching skins or calculators.

Still, it beats having to send your program to the actual calc every time, especially since my main computer (laptop) doesn't even have serial ports! (Can't believe Toshiba would be that dumb...)

My Toshibe (brand new 1.5 Gz, 256 RAM, 30 G Hard Drive) has serial ports. Why don't you get that?

You know, everbody keeps saying "I wish his code was open-source, I'd really like to edit his program" and then when they realize that it is open-source, no one does anything to modify it (not even no_one). I was kinda hoping someone who knew C++ (Dev-C++ gives me the b.s.o.d. so I can't) would add to it, fix errors, or do something with it, because it could use some work.

Good point, I'll take a couple more years of C--, modify the source, add flash, new ROM version, etc. and my Ti future is made! Now, where to get that money to learn C++...

C--? Was that a typo or is there really a such thing?

C-- is the latest version of C++ ;) gosh, I thought no one (not even no_one) would fall for that.

My laptop was a gift to me. Not *quite* as top-of-the-line as yours, but other than the missing serial port, the specifications are fine for me. :)

Well, good for you. You didn't have to fork over $1300 USD for it either. Lucky.

Speaking of popular downloads, I noticed that the recently released Super Smash Brothers Melee for the TI-83 Plus is the most popular download this week. Of course I decided to download it immediately, but I was disappointed to find that there was no readme enclosed. I cannot figure out how to make it run. It was posted as a TI-83 Plus asm game, but it does not show up in mirage and will not work if I try to run any of the enclosed progs from the homescreen with Asm(prgmPRGNAME. Please help.

Also, I heard a rumor from a math teacher that TI was going to stop production of the TI-83. Anyone know anythng about this?

I'm not sure why they haven't already, the 83+ is the same calculator at the same price except with FLASH ROM. Like the 92 and 92+

Super Smash Borthers Melee is a stupid basic game if that answers your question

I believe I heard somebody say that it should actually be in the TI-83 folder, and not the TI-83+ folder. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a basic program just put in the assembly directory to get more downloads. i also heard that it wasn't that great of a game. Personally i have not tried playing it.

Excuse Me. I was thinking of Donkey Kong, it should be in the TI-83 archives and not the TI-83+

or we could just burn the program, it sucks, not that u can really burn software, i was just figuratively speaking.

Kudos to the designer of the Radical Software Website, it looks really nice.

Why have they taken good post off of the last news article, but other stupid post haven't ever been removed, like the mac vs. PC argument, that was good, but one of my own stupid post, noobs sounds like boobs, is still there?

We'll get those little lieing prics w/ my tank!

Answer 1:
No, Super Smash Bros. is a @#$@#$@#$@# fake BASIC @#$@#$ program that is very #@$@#$ stupid and I hope the @#$#@$@# makers of that @#$@#$ BASIC game have a @#$#@$ day because they sure made mine @#$@# bad. :)
Answer 2:
Actually I think TI is only "supporting" the TI-83+SE, TI-89, and v200. on education.ti.com, those are the only ones that have links. :( My poor, poor TI-82 *cry*

I TOTALLY AGREE!

no_one is always complaining (list flames below). GET AN 83+ SE TODAY! IT LOVES IT! Yay! w00t!

no_one is always complaining, I know. no_doubt he will complain about us complaining that he (that is, no_one) complains. no_one cares (apart from maybe no_one)

That was so confusing! No one understood that (except no_one.) I think I will complain about something... um... okay.

Homework is so annoying! I wonder what sadistic person invinted it. They were so mean and rude and bad and horrible and this is a big grammatically incorrect sentence and I should shut up now.

I understood it, u complain a lot is what he was saying, and you complained about how confusing his post was, and now I'm complaining...

Let's ALL complain!

I feel your pain, no_one. All three of the calcs I have are descriminated against by TI and the TI community. No one (except for you, no_one) cares about the 82, 86, or the precious 92. :( :( :(

I care about the 86 ...

The 86 is kewl except for those weird menus...

I love the 86! It will be the next calc I buy!

It'll be the next calc that I steal! lol. j/k, or am I...

I'd steal any calc if I could get away with it, but I can't.... or can I? <evil grin> >:) </evil grin>

You can get away with anything in a tank. I suggest you steal one too!

You keep speaking of a tank... maybe I should get one! >:)

THEY'RE SOOOOO MUCH FUN!

<sarcasm>Really? Tankers is a lot of fun.</sarcasm>

Hey, I downloaded that game! :D

Actually, that's TI-89 HW2. If you own a HW1 and don't know it, you will be dissapointed when TI releases a version of AMS 2.08 that actually works and half of the new features don't work on your calc.

Does anyone here actually own a V200?

Yes, some people here have a V200.

Yeah.
BTW, the character who posted SSB better get ready for an arse whoopin', because it's coming!
>8^(

YEAH! Everybody who wants to KILL them... REPLY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

He's pissing me off, BEER! Crap! <starts running again>

I think he's going to catch you pretty soon, you need a tank lol

I already have a tank, TRY AND CATCH ME NOW BITCH!

Gasp!
That's the last straw. No one calls MBC a ß!+¢#!!
I'll chase you down in my Beetle!!!
