Re: A89: Re: Fw: TI-89 ROM 1.05 vs 2.00 version inquiries
I am thinking, hoping actually, that all of the good programmers,
right now at least, have hardware version 1. So, I am guessing that it
will take a while for the 'newbies' with hardware 2 to come up with some
good 68k games. Sorry if I offended anyone, but we can only wait and
see.
On another note, maybe someone can make a compiler, somewhat like
the ion compiler, to compile the same file for both hardware versions.
Oh well, lemme crawl back into my hole.
