Total Posts: 6 | I have a bunch of stuff i want to protect, but I don't know how to. Mirage won't work, because someone could just unlock it with it, and everyone has it. I also can't use TI-Graph link, because I don't have it or want it. Is there any other way? Thanks in advance for the help! |

The only way I could think about it would be to use BasicBuilder and make it an APP. The problem is that I won't add any files converted to BasicBuilder without the orginal .8xp files. The author requests that you do this. So ultimately the only way is to write in ASM, and even then there are some compilers that can decompress it. |

Edit | There must be some way of doing that... uncompiling...
I just made up a word. :) |

Yeah, I have to put these screws in, but I don't have a screwdriver and I refuse to get one. |

It also has a pretty good password protection and couple of other redeemable features ;-)
