Total Posts: 9 | How come some games, tools, and programs (including shells) that were coded and designed for my (or 'the') TI-86 do not work, but instead give errors and such?
For example, Rascall does not work. Notepad and most of the Address Book programs fail to work. That Megaman game (that took 2+ years to develop and is around 70KB on a calculator) doesn't even work! The startup program doesn't work either.
Come on, why do they not work, throw errors at me, etc? It doesn't make sense, since they were coded for the TI-86 and I am indeed using a genuine and new TI-86.
My next question: is it possible to mod more memory onto my TI-86? Is there a certain absolute limit? I am interested in expanding the total capacity for this baby (and I do not want to use that 16KB unlock trick). |

Total Posts: 9 | Rascall v0.9 produces an "ERROR 14 UNDEFINED" error when trying to run it from my PRGM menu.
PROGRAM:Rascall
:Lbl A
:Asm(rascall
::::::::::
:Goto A
So I open up RASCALL.86G and extract rascall.86p and Rascall.86p (yes, exactly the same names except that one begins with a capital letter). I rename Rascall.86p to A.86p. Sent to calculator, and try again. I get an "ERROR 07 SYNTAX" this time and it only has a QUIT button.
After renaming Rascall.86p to A.86p,
then Asm(rascall, it works. So then A.86p is completely useless?
I made the following and it worked:
PROGRAM:A
:Asm(rascall
My buddy said he used (and it worked for me too):
PROGRAM:A
:Lbl A
:Asm(rascall
:Stop::::::::
:Goto A
Since both work, I'll be using mine to save a few bytes. |
