TiEmu Screen Refresh

feeds@yuku.com (Pixel) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:44:15 GMT

I have interrupt driven graphics in the main gameplay of many of my games. Inside the loop that handles the refreshing of the screen, I turn off the processor to wake it up on certain interrupts (it's a PokeIO something, I can't check right now though). It then does all of it's drawing with ExtGraph functions on a temp plane, and copies the temp plane into LCD_MEM with FastCopyScreen_R. Finally, a call to printf_xy displays the score in the corner, and the processor is put to...

Memory Error

feeds@yuku.com (Neferazo) — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 22:17:19 GMT

Hi, I've uploaded TiChess on my new TI-89 TITANIUM, and archived the right file, but when I ticstart() it doesn't see it as a programme, and when I find it in VAR-LINK, and use it there (where it says tict\ticstart()) it says Error: Memory. That's all. Any ideas?

Possible small typo in the TIGCC Documentation

feeds@yuku.com (FocusedWolf) — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 23:03:56 GMT

This is from tigcc v0.96 Beta 8.

In the topic: "I don't understand how to define sprites!"

...
01111100 binary = 7B hex

etc. These hex numbers describe the sprite, i.e. the sprite definition should be
unsigned char sprite [] = {0x38, 0x7B, ...};
...

should be

...
01111100 binary = 7C hex

etc. These hex numbers describe the sprite, i.e. the sprite definition should be
unsigned char sprite [] = {0x38, 0x7C,...

TIGCC Tools Suite on 64-bit platforms

feeds@yuku.com (Kevin Kofler) — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 14:40:27 GMT

The TIGCC Tools Suite thinks "int" and "long" are the same (format strings mix them up in several places). This is not true on 64-bit GNU/Linux. I already e-mailed a log of the warnings to Lionel 4 months ago. There's still no fix that I know of. So if you want to know why I'm building x86_64 RPMs of all the TI development stuff...

Cannot find "tichess_faster.89y" or "tichess_

feeds@yuku.com (Portside) — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 17:49:07 GMT

I could not find "tichess_faster.89y" or "tichess_small.89y" in the tichess.zip folder. I found the files "tichess.89y", "tistart_fast.89z", and "tistart_small.89z", but neither "tichess_faster.89y" nor "tichess_small.89y". How do I start tichess without one or the other?

I converted a strory and had the bad surprise to see some caratere not appears propperly.

another freeze

feeds@yuku.com (qetuol) — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 13:47:23 GMT

i have Voy. 200 with the newest op.sys. and tictchess version.
I was playing the game(chess) when the device turned off (because the battery exhausted) Then i changed the batteries and turned on the device. The chess desk was on the screen frozen.there was no reaction to any button (F5,on,..).i had to disconnect the circuit by the apps desktop showed and started the installation process of the opsys. (of course all
unarchieved variables were deleted(so the RAM) and the default settings...

Scroll Routines

feeds@yuku.com (Tyler) — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 00:00:10 GMT

The ScrollUp Routines seem to lockup my calculator and emulators (crashing the actual program) when I use these routines along with Double Buffering.

ExtGraph 2 contains code in .data

feeds@yuku.com (Kevin Kofler) — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 03:41:57 GMT

The files in the Sprites\Normal\X8 folder have their code in .data. This breaks external data file support. Code must be in a code section. Please change this to .text. This is a serious issue and is affecting at least one program MathStuf is coding.

Typo in ttstart 2.00 tts-lzma.h

There's a typo-type error in tts-lzma.h:

tichess freeze

feeds@yuku.com (themacman13) — Sun, 21 Aug 2005 07:06:04 GMT

Hi, I've been trying to get tichess to work on my new 89 titanium. My problem could be that I'm not using the titanium version because the archives are down at ticalc but I'm not sure. I am using an 89 version 4.15 I think and i've tried both small and fast versions of it. Both bring me to the tichess 'welcome screen' and then freeze.

Also the screen says its version 4.00 while its supposedly 4.15

Anyone have any ideas?

tichess not found

feeds@yuku.com (chronicidal) — Sun, 03 Jul 2005 03:00:27 GMT

I have a TI-89 Titanium OS v3.01 and Hardware Version 3.00.
I got version 4.11 of TI-Chess and uploaded ticstart-titanium.89z and tichess.89y. The tichess is in the TICT folder and the ticstart is in the main folder, both unarchived (but I also tried running them archived). I type in ticstart() at Home and it returns Done and at the bottom it says tichess not found. What??

extgraph.a references __ref_all___MIN_AMS_1_01

feeds@yuku.com (Kevin Kofler) — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 09:14:10 GMT

Some object files in extgraph.a define __ref_all___MIN_AMS_1_01. This is not a good idea. (For example, it leads to JPong containing "AMS 2.001.01 or higher needed" and probably also an invalid AMS detection code.) Please make sure all C files in ExtGraph get built with #define _GENERIC_ARCHIVE.

GraySprite32_BLIT_R() and Sprite32_BLIT_R()

feeds@yuku.com (maeyhem) — Sun, 04 Apr 2004 17:35:14 GMT

I get garbage when I use either of these two functions. The 16 and 8 variants seem to work fine. Is this a bug?

Getting "Program good" posts

feeds@yuku.com (Panda) — Mon, 15 Mar 2004 03:59:30 GMT

I have been using tictex, and the ebook reader, and everything seems to work perfectly :-)

Now, the reason for posting: I have seen it mentioned elsewhere on this board (I forget where) that the tict programs usually work, and no one wants to clutter the boards with posts merely saying that the program is good.
I have a suggestion, which may rake in thos posts, without bothersomely cluttering the board: Mak a thread just for that one purpose, which will get deleted when the next...

Possibility of a bug-tictex and unarchiving

feeds@yuku.com (archnaid) — Wed, 30 Jul 2003 04:40:23 GMT

Every now and then, when I am installing/uninstalling various programs, I have difficulties with Tict-ex; it will give me the error "(Un)archiving failed" or somehting to that effect. The next time I get this error I will post the exact wording. The reason I think this is a problem with Tict-ex and not my calc is that I then went to the Var-link and attempted to unarchive the same files, and the operation went through normally. If you'd like to know any more details that I have not...

TICT-Explorer Beta 1.30 bug?

feeds@yuku.com (gregduh) — Tue, 24 Jun 2003 03:52:35 GMT

well i was playing a game whose name i can't remember, and i ran it with TICT-Ex

i exited the game with it's normal control (the key it tells you to use, such as ESC), and then TICT-ex exited to the home screen and turned the contrast all the way up until the screen turned blue, and you could barely see the wording

since i don't know @#%$ about calculators (well the V200 at least), i can't tell you what may have caused it, but i can tell you that i didn't press ESC twice...

TICT-Explorer 1.20 problem with V200

feeds@yuku.com (gregduh) — Fri, 13 Jun 2003 23:11:43 GMT

Hey,

I just bought a Voyage 200, and I downloaded a couple games to it as usual. I then sent tictex.9xz and tictexpl.9xy because I wanted to use all of it's great features. But I kept getting an error.

I typed tictex() at the home screen, and then it said "Invalid relocation data in ASM program." I just figured that it was because...

TICT Demo: Dissolve Effect

feeds@yuku.com (TRgenius) — Wed, 04 Jun 2003 06:01:25 GMT

I noticed something strange in the TICT Dissolve Demo: On a HW1 or VTI the program dissolves directly between the two images (as in the image and its inverse), but on a HW2 calculator it seems like the program first dissolves to a blank (white) screen, and then to the image inverse. Has anyone else noticed something like this?

ttunpack_decompress and -mregparm

feeds@yuku.com (timoleon) — Wed, 05 Mar 2003 15:01:25 GMT

The ttunpack_decompress function in ttunpack.h is defined in such a way that it does not work when compiling with -mregparm ; I think
« __attribute__ ((stkparm)) » should be added in the typecast.
