did u know this calculator runs on a z80 cpu?

Yeah, pretty cool, eh?
I saw the specs of it on Wikipedia after I grabbed this thing from the dump, and I heard it was a pretty neato device.

I saw some dude on YT run Pokemon Blue on it, but described it as laggy and glitchy. But I haven't got a link cable, so I'm not able to flash programs and stuff.

Also, barely anyone in Australia has a TI calculator; our schools recommend Casio fx-82 series calcs, so nobody I know would have a cable sad

Not really true. People have known how to get sound out of the thing for ages through the link port. If you don't have the right plug, you can get the sound of it by holding it up to an AM radio.

Really? Neat!
I didn't get a link cable for it, though; my dad just found it at the dump.

You can hand draw pictures on the 84. You could even store them and write a quick program to swap between similar pictures so you could simulate a shade of grey

Awesome! Any idea on how to do this? The 83+ might have something similar (hopefully).

Why are two different things playing on the video and the audio streams?

I chose the Europe stream if it makes any difference

They're constantly experiencing downtime.
This isn't anything new.

Just wait it out for a week or so.

HAH. 8BC.

Haha, the Jack-o-Lantern will fit perfectly with my orange backlight!

Also, I'm dead sure the Gameboy's resolution is 160x144

Welllllllp, I'll see if I have it in my backups.
My computer crashed a day after you asked for the PSD :\

well my 9v made some buzz when I tried it, but i don't think I'll risk frying it.

Oooh, yeah, I'd steer away from anything over 7V.
I slammed a 5V power supply into my Pocket (which I think has a 3V tolerance) and it's fried :'(

I asked Fraxtil about it a while ago, and he happily explained it all to me.
Here and here.
these links are good if you're not very mathematically-inclined like I am.

I haven't got around to using it properly yet, but the examples are amazing.

It's like a magician - you know that what they're doing is possible. You only really admire it once you figure out how it's done.
If I heard this on the radio, I'd cover my ears and run for the hills.

Maths is a wonderfuuuuul thing
