Quote from: adriweb on November 10, 2012, 09:53:07 am You probably didn't miss the big news : the discovery of a new TI-84 model : the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. We are eager to get more news about this, and we hope tons of new color games and utilities such as a color port of Reign of Legends 3 and color support in Axe will appear soon on Omnimaga As I said, not much is known outside the fact it's a TI-84+SE with a color screen. This is a pretty interesting move from TI, they likely wanted to offer a better competition to the Casio Prizm with CX-like functionality brought to their 83+ line, or to maybe even update their old outdated hardware with modern one. will we have to update TI-Connect and TiLP?.is it going to be released in all countries when we allready have non-CAS TI-Nspire CX and TI-Nspire CM CAS with similar prices ?.is there going to be a TI-84 Plus C model ?.compatibility with current z80 assembly programs. compatibility with current z80 applications.hardware used (it might be a z80, but it might be a TI-Nspire CX/CM with a permanent TI-84 keypad, which would explain why the TI-84 emulator was removed on these Nspire models).He can't confirm anything else and points out those questions: Critor, who often get insider news directly from TI, also confirmed the news, saying it's not fake. A page on TI's website about it also have been discovered, confirming the news. The screen is believed to be 340x240, according to Kerm Martian. Not much else is known, like app compatibility, if the programs written for older versions of the 83+ series will work correctly, if the z80 processor stayed the same, if there's still ASM support, etc. Outside the color screen, not much has changed in terms of functionality, it runs the latest Mathprint OS. This morning, Cemetech member 0rac343 leaked the first known picture of the new calculator, saying his school got 2 full sets (24 calcs) to test it out. Yup, seems there's a new TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition coming soon with a color screen akin to the Casio Prizm and the Nspire CX. Hardware tests (CPU/LCD speed/clockcycles) (Feb 19 2013) Large pic file size, more BASIC info and hardware info (revealing 128 KB RAM/15 MHz) (Feb 17 2013) TI opens 84+CSE page on their site (Dec 12 2012)įirst 84+CSE interface screenshots (Jan 12 2013)įirst ASM game (by a TI staff) (Jan 30 2013)Įven more screenshots/info from Webinar conference (Feb 5 2013)ĭiscovering new TI-BASIC features (colorz!) (Feb 15 2013) New pics reveals 3 MB archive (Nov 13 2012) No ASM/BASIC backwards compatibility (Nov 12 2012) More info: Z80 CPU/rechargeable battery (Nov 12 2012) This might be useful to add all of them in the 1st post in case any info is useful.Įarly summary of 84+CSE discovery (at this point, we know it has ASM) (Nov 10 2012) Here are all the news posted on Omni about the Ti-84 Plus C Silver Edition by the way. I know for example that Zapi ASM lib messed up MirageOS. I guess it would be fine as long as there isn't a flood of routines as you say. Well one thing is guaranteed: There will be a Doors CS 8, so inevitably every upcoming routine will have competition. I think this would be better via parser hook-based stuff, though (xLIB/DCS?), else if a program is drawing a map and requires heavy Asm color change, this will be slow. It would be nice to discuss ASM routines and hybrid BASIC libs as well, although for the 1st there is a Cemetech topic already (although it doesn't hurt to do it on Omni and cross-post either)Ĭurrently my main concerns are about the way Text() works, along with RecallPic, and if any issue involved could easily be addressed via ASM librariesįor example, #COLOR:Asm(prgmTEXTBG could change the text color background until the TI-OS or the BASIC command TextColor() changes it).Īlso, maybe it's possible to access even more colors via an ASM command for use in BASIC. Of course WikiTI will need to be expanded to 84+CSE stuff as well, so it would be nice to discuss what is missing and need to be added whenever possible. It would definitively be nice to have a topic to discuss ASM stuff and possibly BASIC-related stuff, along with hardware, but a good idea as well would be to compile every bit of info that has been posted in the news so far, along with TI info, in 1 page for each subject (eg a list of new TI-BASIC commands, quirks, improvements, etc), in both a 1st post of a topic and the tutorials section.
