I know there are sound programs, but I have to say, you might as well get a PDA. Calculators with color and sound, don't really help you with the math stuff, so, Ti probably doesn't need to add it.

yes you can, on www.ticalc.org in the archive section...somewhere there is a ASM program that lets you make sounds, and the game "iceclimb" has sounds too...

but...you have to make a speaker...i did, it only cost like 2 bucks to get the parts at radio shack...the instructions are on ticalc also..

all you need is a 2.5mm->3.5mm stereo headphone adapter and a set of headphones from your cd player. your calcs has a 2.5mm link jack and that's where this adapter will go and will let you plug a set of regular headphones with a 3.5mm jack. if by any chance you've happened to have a cell phone with a headpiece you may even be able to use it w/t any adapter at all, just make sure its plug has 3 rings, not 4 like some cellphone headsets do.
as for sound program, they all are pretty pathetic and don't even get anywhere close to MIDI. though, its still pretty fun to get sound out of a non-sound enabled machine. btw, some programs put strain on the processor so that it generates a certain pattern in radio waves and you can actually hear it if your try to tune in a radio. look around in ticalc.org archive under ti-83+ assembly programs and you'll find quite a few there. also, i think there was even a sound section under ti-83+ assebmly.

Whatca want sound for Momen Soudan? It could kill your calculator, might overheat or something.

But, I'm never going to try it, so i don't know if it really does this, but, heck! It could!

lol! it would be kinda cool to have games with sound effects tho. and no, sound will not do anything bad to your calc...calcfreak's calc is obviously an exception :).
btw momen soudan, your avatar url seems not to work since the picture returns an error. its possible that you've misspelled its url or the hosting server might not allow remote loading (or something of that sort). pls check your avatar url.

Use AOL Hometown, or do a google search and use the URL of google's image.

I think www.imagemagician.com hosts free images.

www.webpost.net is a good place to go, just sign up and upload, the limit is 1 megabyte.

if you're using webpost...sign up, click tranfer files or somethign, select the file on your hard drive, upload it.

go to like view files or something, left click on the picture, or get its url somehow, should be http://webpost.net/(two letters)/(account name)/(name of picture).jpg (or .gif)

But the google thing works too. :cow:

Do a google image search, and then click on the image you like best. Then click on it again. There! Put that URL into your avatar spot at calcgames. :)

google isn't a really good idea because
a) People don't like you remote linking to stuff held on their webpages (although a 100x100 pictures won't make much fo a difference)
b) the link may change and leave you with no avatar
c) It most likely won't fit as well as doing it yourself.

The best program for sound for any 83 series calc is Calcmod. It's as high quality as Gameboy music, it takes up very little space (about a kilobyte per minute), it's stereo sound, and it runs under Ion or Mirage. For full-on music, try playwav 83. You can only fit about ten seconds in your RAM, but the quality is pretty high. For both of these programs, go to ticalc.org and look under 83 (or 83+), assembly, sound programs, ion.

Okay, Ion?
Do i need anything else to get the sound beside ion?
(software,hardware,...)
dose it only work under the Mirage os?

No. There is a version of Calcmod for both Ion and MirageOS. What you need hardware-wise is a 3.5 mm-2.5 mm stereo adaptor. Plug the 2.5mm end into your linkport, then plug regular headphones (like on a cd player) into the 3.5mm end. Before plugging in the headphones, make sure you're in Mirage or Ion. Otherwise, your calculator will temporarily freeze (just while the headphones are plugged in). Then, run Calcmod from your shell, and voila, stereo sound.

I don't get what your saying. You'll get sound through programs that are specifically written to make sound, otherwise u might get some noise.

There are no 83 games with sound. You can listen to gameboy-music style sound, but not in a game.

From what I've done with sound. I made a speaker, it worked fairly well, and it was pretty amusing (untill i lost it). It's not risky al all, the speaker plugs into your link port...

sorry momen, i didn't see your post a while back...

I found in ticalc's acrhives (ASM Sound programs i think) a program that uses sound, and there i gave instructions for how to make a speaker (in the .zip file), but if not, the hardware section on ticalc.org also has stuff to make speakers ( i think)

http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/asm/media/sound/

you can get the wave player, and other choices if you click on the (Ion or MirageOS menu options on that page)

Yes, but I agree with Billy.

"The day calculators start getting sound is the day Ti makes a PDA."

(Thats a rough qoute).

Momen, if you don't mind me asking (and anyone else who wants sound), why do you want sound? To help the games, or just because you want it. Sound on a game might give away that you're playing it on math class. :)

Yes, it was an experiment, and not a bad one, the game IceClimb was entertaining, and it only costs like 2 bucks to make a speaker... And if you're gonna question, lets find out why you choose your particular avatar...
