where did this come from?

[Simprobe]

hey..im influential..how wonderful

I roxorz!

Congrats to all above also!

[CrimsonCasio]

well, actually, it says you were usefull 2 years ago though you are still influential .

seriously though, who is b2smith, I've never seen him.

I agree with bytefish being the most persistant though

[ross8653]

wow i actually thought of that when i saw the post here i thought there was a BASIC category? ah well

and were the honorable mentions really there? or you just kinda "slip" them in there?

[casiokingdom]

Who came up with these results?
Does it only include this forum or some outside source.

Why are you mentioning 2 year old info?

[casiokingdom]

When was this poll held?

Who's bsmith2?

Can somebody please tell me what this post means?

[dscoshpe]

Man this takes me back all 2 years ago or however long its been....

bsmith2 was a guy who aimed to make profit from basic games on the cfx, though he made some (i hear) nicee games in basic, his idea didnt pan out. I saw him on a couple other sites (ticalc.org and calc.org) and he is putting out some decent asm for TI's.. I think he left before the whole AFX revolution took off.

Anyways, it was an old survey in general, seems killer has been digging up the history recently

Might as well throw out the name Hidetake Jo while were at it!! hehe

What about mentioning the good old CASMAG? Hehehe That's where this stuff is from.

[Simprobe]

man.. way back in the day.. it seems it was soo much better. Now.. its all in pieces.

[Biobytes]

Well what do you know! You guys remember me! Believe it or not, I have been watching the Casio scene ever since I left, looking for anybody to make a 'breakthrough' and have ASM on the CFX-9850. Until this happens, I'm really not interested in Casio calcs anymore.

BUT, if any of you are in for a challenge, I have some ideas that if instituted effectively, would make ASM on the 9850 possible without changing the hardware. The main idea is to change the stack, I know this is possible because using the 255x255 matrix bug I have been able to store 8x10 sprites and move them around the screen BY DIRECTLY WRITING TO THE SCREEN MEMORY in basic. That was about a year ago.

Unfortunately, the 255x255 matrix is too huge for me to analyze on my own, but I do know that the stack IS on it. Someone (not me, my 9850 broke) needs to start looking at this bug and try to exploit it. It actually shouldn't be too hard, by using backups and the 255x255 matrix bug combined. Too see if you have effected the stack, just write some random value to one value at a time in the matrix, exit the run screen, and if your calculator crashes, you have probably effected the stack! You'll probably have to visit ole Martin Poupe's website to see how to use the 9850's weird CPU, but eventually the combination (matrix and backup) will present a solution to the 9850 assembly problem.

Happy Hacking!

^ the stats don't matter here, people have been programming TI calcs for like a decade!^

[casiokingdom]

All you old members, are always talking about past programmers, games, events and so on.... (boring....)

We are the new generation of programmers, so let's show that we are better.

i think after the UCF comp is over, a flood of new games will enter the net.

If it was for anything that I posted that stuff, then it was for saying: show some respect.

[ross8653]

wow hidetake joe... (take a bow) he was the fricken mac. When i was just gettin into BASIC prog like 7 years ago i'd read his documentation and download his programs and type them in manually. His stuff was everywhere, i think he was the biggest name prior ucf. But i dont remember him posting ever, too bad. I think he was out of college by the time i even saw his stuff so he's gotta be 30 by now. He went to U of M right?

[rstweb]

I have searched at google for Hidetake Jo and i've found his new website: http://www.brianhetr...casio/hidetake/

[casiokingdom]

But a lot of the programs are in text form. It makes it troublesome for us to type them in by hand.

cat format is the best.

[rstweb]

yeah, when i remember to my first holidays with the calculator! i've typed in super mario! 24KB programm and 2KB of Lists! i didn't a cable there but it worked, so why don't someone type it in and publish it as cat? btw: it isn't difficult to make a cat-file out of a text-file have you ever look in the source of the cat-file?

[ross8653]

shhhh (eyes dart) dont tell em how to get ("hack") the passwords of games

[rstweb]

the passwords are crypted in the cat-file! but in this way, you can get the source-code of programs that are password-protected but not from backups! backups are images of the memory!

[casiokingdom]

if i want to know the password if a CFX program, i just use CasioCom, which has a password function.

it allows you to change the password even when you don't know the original one.

It's great, yet has a few bugs.

i think it's available at www.casiocorner.com

[ross8653]

when i want to know i just read it out of the txt file but whatever

[Andy.Davies]

casio com and alot of other great utils are available on My Site, just click on software

[rstweb]

i think it is more interesting to understand the source of the cat-file and not how to use a program!

[ross8653]

my point exactly i guess you had to spell it out though

[caspro]

Howdy, Hidetake Jo !!!!!!!

[flyingfisch]

wasnt this supposed to be annual?
