What is this patch and what is the benefit of it to my Ti-80 Titanium? I read the stuff on this page but i dont get it. The problem really is that i never have enough RAM< to run any programs. I've taken out all the games but the RAM still shows 43 Kilibytes. Help Me!

the HW3patch allows TSR hooks in your calc, which is a good thing, trust me.

Also, you need to archive the stuff in your RAM. Goto your VAR-LINK, and press F4 to select the stuff you want archived, then once you do that, press F1, then 8:Archive.

Thats pretty basic, check out your manual for more information on your memory.

Okay, to enable memory resident programs and a few other things which are not allowed by the OS by default, HW3 Patch basically hacks it and patches. The benefit is the ability to run programs such as kernels, even hooks that add functionality to your calc and other things. As with your RAM, try archiving some of the programs you've sent your calc. Its also possible that one of the programs you tried to run crashed and trashed the memory. Only way to get it back is to reset your calc. To reset press [2nd] then [6], then [f1] and then choose RAM->All RAM.
To archive/unarchive stuff press [2nd] then [-] to go to memory manager, select files you want to archive/unarchive and press [f1] and then [8] or [9] depending on what you want to do. You can select multiple files by pressing [f4] to mark.
I hope this helps.

In a nutshell, HW3Patch basically lets you run most programs on your Titanium - ones that wouldn't in the first place because of some issues. Like said before, it's a good thing to have.

And you install it once, and it does't go away. So you never notice it's there anyways.

Thanks for the help on the HW3 patch. But the thing about the memory is that i've archived EVERYTHING that i can in the RAM and i've tried resetting it but it is still at 43 Kb.

Thanks a lot for the previous feedback :sunglasses2:
