r/ti84hacks

Whelp, TI can suck my ass.

I was trying to install some new shiny programs into my Ti 84 + CE calculator, and had the misfortune of installing 5.8.5. And had a heart attack. All my math, science, and english notes were in there, locked forever in a shiny vault that TI put up. ( And my TIBoy games too :( )

Do you guys know when the next update for ARTIFICE is coming around? For 5.8.5?

I heard that the war is over and the cat has went into a new house, so maybe I don't have to worry about updating.

Also, can you manipulate the PC version to downgrade into a different software?

I have my exams tomorrow and those are my ONLY notes...

I am very sad.

PLEASE RESPOND TI AND HELP A BOY OUT...

So when i'm trying to connect my calc to the ce app on windows im getting this error from windows: how do i solve this? please help

Edit: I've decided to go with option 2, with normal code editing.

I'm working on some TI-BASIC development tools, with a CLI for converting between txt and 8xp files and writing TI-BASIC programs. I'm coming to a crossroads at where to take the project right now.

I have two options:

1. Modal Token-based Editor

This is easier to make and prevents any unknown bytes from entering the calculator.

Two modes: Normal and Add

The 8xp is converted to commands, and then displayed. In Normal mode the arrow keys navigate through the file.

Typing switches the mode of the editor to Add. The typed text is added to a buffer, the arrow keys allow navigation through the commands, like on the calculator. Pressing escape clears the buffer and places you in Normal mode.

When a match of text in the buffer to a TI-BASIC command, using a similarity algorithm, it is displayed. The up and down arrow keys allow you to select which command you want to add. Left and right allow you to move the cursor in the buffer.

2. Normal text editor

This is more difficult as I have to make a greedy lexer for the data.

It would be, in my opinion, easier to use, as you just write code like any other language.

What do you guys think?

Is there a way I can get ChatGPT/ web browsers on my calculator with only needing to download stuff to my calculator and not like saudering stuff onto it? I go on YouTube but all the tutorials are out dated. My buddy at work bet me that I can’t and if I can’t I owe him 500$ so I need help desperately. After im done with the calculator im just gonna throw it out I don’t even need ChatGPT for anything. Any tips or videos or discord links will help.

Dealing with General Circuit Analysis stuff (mesh, node, etc), power and all its variations like max powet transfer, RL, RC, RCL stuff (DC, exponential sources), Unit graphing (unit step, ramp, etc), the whole shebang. I haven't found a tool just labeled "circuits" like I have for other classes; I've tried a couple that I found and tried to make my own, but the results have been kind of hit or miss.

I currently have a TI-84+CE so I'm mainly looking for programs on that. I might get something more advanced later though, so for the future's sake some recommendations for those would be cool too. Thanks in advance!
