Well, you have me interested as well so I don't mind helping. I'll scoop up a new button cell and see if that has any effect. Contacts look clean but I'll open it up and see if there is any corrosion from batteries that might have been left in.

Another thing about this 83, in your instructions it has the user switching to receive when transmitting files. On mine, this causes an Xmit error. I simply send files by hitting send on Tilp with no action taken on the 83.

Back of the calc: 38426119 I-01990
The first 0 in the above number is slightly thinner. Not sure if it is a zero or the letter O. Also, the I- is the letter I not the number 1. At least it doesn't seem to have the top notch the 1s do. God, who thought to use O/0 and I/1??
Started HT in ION1.6u. Immediately pressed [ALPHA][ON]. No crash.
Tried Ocarina. It crashed when it was supposed to play a note.
Piano83 was able to play notes. Audio came out of both left and right. Right on a single note, left for the second note.
Calcwave, Calcmod, and Tijuke flash the screen but immediately exit.

It's honestly not a big deal for me as my wife had an 83+ and it works great there. I'll be happy to provide as much help as possible with this calc though if you really want to figure it out.

Version 1.10
ION 1.6 installs fine but running "A" shows a really distorted program selection page. Regardless, I can start up HT but again, any attempt to make a sound will crash HT and reset the memory.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll get you the version and try out 1.6 this evening.

Yes, I followed the manual's instructions when putting HT on my TI-83. ION (specifically ION1.6u) was working just fine and I was able to start up HT without issue.

edit: ION version

Spent a while playing around with HT last night and it was a blast. Prior to getting it to work, I had a couple of issues though.
I was able to test it on 2 separate calculators. On my TI-83+ using Doors I had no issue and this is currently what I am using. On my TI-83 using ION I was able to launch HT and program patterns but as soon as audio was supposed to play (either with Enter or Alpha/Mode in a pattern) HT would crash and wipe my the memory. Any ideas? If there is any info you need that would help, let me know and I'll be happy to get it to you.

The modification is affecting the built-in jack as well, which means it's almost certainly an issue of bridged points.

That's what I get for skimming. Missed the part where it was causing issues in the built in jack too. I'd throw in a vote for bridged points too.

What cable are you plugging into the jack? The issue sounds a lot like plugging a mono 1/4" into a stereo jack.

As for me I'm trying to learn how to code and every now and then I add a couple of patterns on to this new album I've been working on.

New album from FOD? Yes please.

As for me I am working on the house I just bought, getting married, teaching a class in Japan in March for work, releasing several albums, and brushing up on some code work. I was learning some Japanese for my trip but got hooked so I guess I am learning a new language too.

Having the ability to send CC commands rather than cycling through presets via note data would be a great start.
I probably couldn't help developing it but I am good at breaking stuff if you need a tester

I don't recall the exactly but I think it had something to do with having a stronger signal in the end? I know how to get it to work. Not all the evil magic that flows through it.

It does improve the contrast but would invert the picture just like rotating the polarization filter 90 degrees. However, when adding a polarization filter while backlighting you can revert the picture by rotating the filter.

And here I thought she had only contacted me...oh what a fool I am sad

Maaaaan been waiting to listen to all the tracks. It's really well done and does have that konami/capcom mesh you describe.

Just took read through the Chip Maestro manual. Seems you are limited to note only data. Notes that fall below the range the NES is capable of playing are used to cycle through the available pulse widths or changing between "tinny and crunchy" on the noise channel. It has no sample bank and makes no use of DPCM. Just raw square waves.

MidiNES crushes this thing.
