If somebody knows how to get a screenshot off an 84+ silver onto a macintosh, I could be of some help.

Pause it on the image you want, put your calc in your scanner and hit 'Scan'. ALternatively, you could use a digital camera (does your cell phone has a camera) and use that. ;) (When working on the screenshot project last year, I afound a screenshot that was actually a photograph of the physical calculator.)
Seriously though, if it's basic, just run it on an emulated 83+ (usually even a 83- works) an screenshot that. This way you won't be able to screenshot assembly programs or programs using the timers, but at least you can contribute.

Instead of a digital camera, get an LCD projector, a TI-Presenter, and a ViewScreen calc. Then project the screen on the wall and take a picture of that. Or trace it, colorize, and then take the picture. Then repaint the wall.

I like the way you're thinking. You've got to be pretty fast with a pencil if you're going to shoot animated screenshots that way though. ;)

You can get some limited screenshots on-calc. In MirageOS programs, you can press on+number to get a screenshot in the form of a picture file.

Can you do that on an 83+ SE? It would be great.

Won't work in BASIC (causes a break) but will work in any Ti-83+ compatible calc. Make sure the picture file exists or else nothing happens.

Also doesn't work in compressed programs, Phoenix, or if MirageOS inturrupt is turned off(default).

Why doesn't your account profile show up? I keep trying to see if you've written any programs and you don't show up.

:) i don't write much and i prefer that my profile not be visible anyway. I've made a program or two here and there, but not often

k, just wondering

Thanks for the info. I didnt knew that the pic had to exist. If only MiragfeOS doc was included in the zip file in the old days I didnt had internet.

MirageOS 1.0/1.1 made Windows look uncrashable, which is sad of course... MirageOS 1.2 is about as stable as Windows, which is still sad...

It's NEVER crashed for me after more than a year of use.

ditto

For TI-OS or AMS and BASIC programs, use TI-Connect.

same here. Unix directory has a couple of emulators that Im trying to run from the command prompt on OS X, but only for 68Ks

Where? I cna't find them, and I've got a 68k to compare to.

I would like to help screenshot because I know how much crap is on this site and tons of useless crap should be deleted, but unfortunately I have dialup and I wouldn't be much of a help...

I just checked to see how much stuff i have downloaded from ticalc.org and the total came in at ~252Mb worth of stuff. Most of that is the zip files and the unzipped files so that is kind of a double but several things that i have downloaded for things such as math or chemistry do not work right. I have decided not to rely on math, science, etc programs on here because most of the ones i have downloaded dont work right. I have had to resort to writing my own...which is fun, but people should check their programs to see if they programed it right before uploading.

Same here...I've got a dial-up connection AND I'm pretty busy as it is (at least 3 projects going on at a time, as well as 2 hours a day for guitar). Sorry guys, but I won't be helping this year. :-/
