Re: Re:A86: bugs in the rom
here are some more bugs I know of:
works with rom 1.4 and less..... on homescreen, type Input A, then hit
enter. Now press 2nd More (MODE) and then press
the GRAPH button. You can type all over. Then when you hit enter your calc
crashes.
guess you might not consider this a bug, but:
1) type 1/3 on the homescreen so it's the fraction 1/3.. hit enter
2) now type *3 so it shows Ans*3. 1/3 times 3 is 1, right? hit enter. It
shows that.
3) Now hit -1, so it shoes Ans-1. 1-1 should be zero? right? hit enter. I
think not!
when you type 1/3, it doesn't interpret it as 1/3, but
.33333333333333333333333333. then when you type *3, it makes it
.9999999999999999999999. It keeps this number internally, but shows 1 on the
screen, because when displaying a result like that, it rounds. now if you
hit -1, it would be .999999999999999999 -1, which displays that answer.
hope you enjoy ;o)

yes it is a bug. There is a patch by kirk meyer that fixes that. And, it
freezes not only in asm programs. You can hold + and - and it does. Also,
hold enter while turning the calc on.....

OK, after a few tries, I did get the bug! (I sound almost too proud of that
fact, don't I)
You're right, it is there. I even called up a freind who had rom 1.2, he had
it too. I guess TI never called it.
Speaking of bugs, I've noticed how a lot of asm programs freeze if you hold
down+left. Is this intentional, a bug in the programs, a bug in the rom, or
an intentional feature of the rom?
