EDIT:
This message originally gave long message about conversions.
That method can still be read in the tutorials forum.

Since this message was posted a couple of things happened to replace the method originally described:

1) Now available is a version of FA-124 with 9860<=>9850 conversion at:
http://www.casiokingdom.org/
For details see:
http://www.casiocalc...?showtopic=2726

2) Cat2fxi versions 2,3 have some bugs , which means fxi ->cat or g1m won't work.

cat -> fxi works well enough

but going the other way

fxi -> cat doesn't work

because cat2fxi v 2 or 3 don't translate fxi + and - symbols correctly
and puts newline symbols on every line even after display symbols.

I've written Casform: a g1m,txt,ctf,cat,fxi converter to replace cat2fxi.

thanks for this guide, but how can i create a new program in the first place, in FX2.0 mode there's a "NEW" in "FILE" menu, but in the 9860G, there'sn't, which is odd!



EDIT:I have found out how to convert, thanks.

[huhn_m]

Post has been added to tutorial section and reformated (some mistakes corrected)

Thanks caspro!

[os008]

here's a more simple way ...

1-Open FA-124
2-Choose "Tool" drop down menu
3-Choose Model ... Algebra FX
4-Open whatever CAT file u want
5-Choose "Tool" again, then choose "Convert" ... one of the 2 options should be available now, depending on the type of CAT file u have.
6-Now you should find the G1R file in "My Documents\CASIO\FA-124"

NOTE: when u upload the program to the calculator it will go to the Flash, it won't work from there, u have to go to the Memory Manager, then choose F2, then select the program with F1, then press F2 to copy it to the RAM, that's the most annoying thing i have ever seen, now the program should be in the Programs Menu. (Huhn, u could add this note anywhere u want for people to see, or leave it here if u want, thanks all for trying to help me before

I certainly thought there should be a simpler method
and, upon reading your post, immediately went to check the software
but there is no 'Convert' option in the version FA-124
that I got from jeuxcasio.com.
(If anyone can see differently, then tell me.)

The different language versions of FA-124 seem to have different features.

huhn_m, perhaps you could add to the tutorial the fact that other
language versions of FA-124 have a simpler conversion method for cat->g1m
although the ctf and fxi information still stands.

[os008]

there's nothing more simple than that man, and open CAT files only, these r the only ones to be converted using my method

[caspro]

I'm having the same problem. After I open the *.cat file using FX-124, there is nothing to convert it to a *.g1r file under tools. What should I do?

There is now a version of FA-124 available online which does have the conversion feature:
For details see:
http://www.casiofx.tk/

[casiokingdom]

if that link doesn't work. Use http://ck.earthforge.com

[huhn_m]

Earthforge is gone I think.

May it rest in peace.

[Andy.Davies]

earthforge still loads for me...

[huhn_m]

well, so it still seems to be caused by my provider ...
though root12.co.uk does work now (opposed to before I complained) ...

I HATE strato!

[caspro]

A quicker method to convert fxi or ctf or txt to g1m than the above is now:

Casform (version 6): g1m,txt,ctf,cat,fxi converter
http://www.spiderpix...sformindex.html

[caspro]

I never got any problems with converting .g1m to .cat or .fxi
...since I'm the proud owner of a fx-9860G SD and CFX-9850GC PLUS!

Question:
Does the 9860 have the old serial port.
If so, do you know whether FX-Interface and Xchange work with the 9860 ?

However, most people will be thanking you for that converter.

Actually, I've found so many bugs since I posted that message,
that I don't think anyone would have found it much use.

So ...

Version 8:

Hey I am trying 2 install FA-124 on my comp.
However when I run the install I always get:"The Wizard was interrupted before CASIO FA-124 coould be completely installed. You system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time please run set up again."

Its not clear what's interrupting the wizard. Tho I suspected that maybe my files with eActivity ad-ins and calc manuals maybe interfering w/ the directory. If anybody has any ideas or has seen this before please tell me. I bought FX-9860 GII recently and I wanted to install physium on it.

What operating system do you use. Casio doesn't support 64bit OS
