Total Posts: 39 | I was wondering if I could get some (at least two) people to help me. Could I get some people to type the following program into their calcs and return the results to me, via subsequent posts. (it's asm so be careful) (if you don't know what asm is, or what to do with it; you need not apply...) This is supposed to tell me what kind of calc you have, for my new game; and all I have is a 83+ and a 84+/se (I have gotten 0 & 3 from both respectively.) So I need some help getting the numbers from both the remaining two. So heres the program.
Also don't run it if you don't have a recent OS version, and obviously one made by TI.

B_CALL(ClrLCDFull)
B_CALL(HomeUph)
ld hl, 9872h
B_CALL(GetSysInfo)
ld a, ($9874)
ld h, 00
ld l, a
B_CALL(4507h? what?)
B_CALL(GetKey)
ret
but my calc is out of batteries, so no test. :(
What's the second to last ROM call supposed to be?

To clarify, when I mean to return the results form a calc it means run the prog and tell me what you get.
What the program does (to anyone not knowing), is this.
*first it clears the screen and resets the cursor.
*then it loads the location of the appBackUpScreen into hl
*executes a rom call that outputs~nine bytes of subsequent data (I don't know exactly the amount outputted, as I'm only interested in the 3rd byte.)
*it loads the 3rd byte (the hardware version) into acc (register a)
*stores 00->h and acc->l in prep for the bcall(_disphl)
*displays the decimal value for the hex in hl
The data is for my program, I need to know the model of calc the game is being run on. (so it can implement timing or not)
Luckily I have acquired the hardware code from the 83+, the 84+, and the 84+/se (0,2,3; respectively) I assume that a 83+/se will return a 1, but I want the data to back it up so nothing goes horribly wrong.
