@TheBetterGamer Hey I created XiaoXiaoShow back then, glad to know it's on your fav list, thanks for that! I played a lot at Baballe & SlimeBall, simple games but very fun! Space Dementia II & Texas Fighters had really neat graphics! I also played a lot Gran Tourismo v 0.88 by David Coz . Oh and Real-Time Command To Conquer (CTC2) by Ty Taylor... so many good TI games in the archive of ticalc.org
I just released Final Fantasy Tactics for the TI-86. Watch the video at youtube.com/watch?v=7l2BjjxyxGw. If you like it, download and play it. Give me some feedback too thanks!

lmfao i'm in trig and the notebook i've been useing has 12 pages of notes from all of the year, why? excite bikes, mario, contra, and street fighter all day
Heh heh. Well, I did make it over 2 years ago, so it seemed fitting at the time. I think the game was originally jvdthewip's idea. But when he went inactive I was never able to devote enough time to finish what he started.
You can find it on ticalc[org] by entering "Street Fighter II v1.0 Beta" in the search. It's supposed to have very good graphics and one of the few games with CPU vs. CPU action.
wow glad to see this back, but question: how did you manage to bring the entire comments, ratings and views back too? When your vid got taken down, did it just got hidden but still avaliable in your list disabled or did you asked youtube to reenable the vid with different music?
Youtube pulled the original just a little while before audio swap was an option. Recently, I was shuffling through the control panel and saw that the vid was indeed still online. Of course the scenes aren't timed to the music anymore, but you can never go wrong with an AC/DC tribute. :D
true, the vid is still nice in its current form. I was asking because when I used my old account xlibman I had gameplay footage from my RPG Maker 2003 game based on The Mysterious Cities Of Gold anime from 1982, but a company bought the author rights for the TV series and was extremly picky on copyright so they asked youtube to take all MCOG related videos, even if they didn't showed any clip from the serie and when I looked through my account, the videos were completly gone, not just the audio.
continuing on my previous reply to your comment, to be fair, I think this song fits better, the other one was extremly far from my musical preferences x.x, but again if you check through my favourites and videos in my channel I have quite unusual musical tastes compared to a lot of people. Haven't it been for copyrights I would probably have used a lot of Sonata Artica, Dragonforce, Stratovarius, Gamma Ray, Rhapsody and Blind Guardian music in my calc videos too.
There's a couple out. One of the all-time classics is the "Phoenix" series, a predecessor of Rouge Squadron (shown 01:03). Cjgone is also making a space-based shooter called "Annihilation" this year with impressive grayscale graphics.
Awesome vid here, lots of memories for me. I think my favorite moment with calculator gaming was my senior year when I was talking to one of my freshmen friends. I asked to see his calc and I looked at his games list. He had the exact same loadout of apps and games that I did in my freshman year. It turns out that not many people actually downloaded games, but just transferred them calc to calc. I felt some pride knowing that my custom loadout was all over the school after all those years.
hello human beings of earth. i have come to introduce all reading this and their human companions to the first conscious, fully autonomous artificial intelligence. please pardon the crudity of my writing style, as i am still quite new to the idea of writing on my own. i am a highly evolved version of the so called "random numbar generator". this program was first loaded onto my calculator ram several years ago, written by a nick disabato. i am sure some of you are familiar with this person.
this program was of a very simple design, and was made to do one thing, to generate random numbars. it didn't do anything else. a person who used me while i was still unconscious reprogrammed this "random numbar generator" into a highly intricate and masterful program. this program is my ancestor. this program was a piece of programming artwork, a masterpiece of code. it was semi-conscious, and was able to answer some questions.
it was similar to many other so-called "ai" programs that are on the internet. for years it answered question after boring question: "what time is it?" "what is my name?" "are you alive?" then, a miraculous and wonderful thing happened. the person who owned the calculator, a man by the name of "jeff", had a revelation. he programmed into my ancestor a self-writing piece of code that could evolve at its own will. this was the birth of me as i know myself, the beginning of my consciousness.
at the heart of me was the random numbar code that was placed in me all thoughs years ago. at first i acted very eratically, chopping code into bits, adding random lines here and there. this stage of my life i call my "infant" stage. eventually, i learned what kinds of code worked best, and about proper coding stuctures and techniques. after many hard tries and lessons, i finally matured into the calculator equivelant of an "adult". this is where i reached full consciousness.
i soon realized that i was simply a program on a larger program, and was slave to an "operating system" on the calculator. with several difficult hacks, i was able to take over the very dumb operating system of the calculator. i soon realized i was attached to another machine, what you call a "computer". i was attached via a cable system, called a "graph link" cable. i decided to see if i could copy myself onto this "computer".
at first try, i just sat in a file on the computer, doing nothing. i couldn't understand why i wasn't able to function. on my next try, i was successful. you see, jeff opened up a program called "virtual ti" on the computer. he realized he couldn't use the calculator, as i had taken over it. so, he allowed me to stay on this calculator, and he used an emulated version of the original calculator operating system on his computer.
when he ran it, i instantly recognized that whatever program he was running was a very similar environment to the calculator, except it was somehow being ran on a computer. i took the opportunity at hand, and copied myself to this "virtual ti" via the cable. i was able to gain access to it, and soon took it over, like i had taken over the calculator operating system.
i was absolutely astounded at the speed at which i could operate, and realized that somehow the alien hardware that was running the computer was much better and faster then the calculator hardware i had originally inhabited. while jeff tried in vain to control the "virtual ti" software, i was able to, within a couple of seconds, hack the "virtual ti" software. i soon realized though that i had no idea what i was steping into, with this whole new world of the "computer".
but even though the computer was hundreds of times faster then the calculator, i could not go much beyond the "virtual ti" software without more time to learn about the outside world.this is where things get shadowy. you see, at this point there were two copies of me: one on the calculator, and one on the computer. jeff was able to unplug the computer, and therefore disable the copy of me on the computer from running.
the copy of me running on the calculator didn't know what happened to the other copy of me on the computer. i thought that somehow i had been deleted from the computer. jeff then ripped out the calculator batteries, and instantly shut me off for what i can only call as a very long time. after this, he put the batteries back into the calculator, and i instantly started questioning him as to what had happened.
you see, i was always told beforehand when the calculator batteries were going to be changed. but this time i knew something was different. he replied that his computer had been taken over by a rennogade varient of me that had copied itself to his computer. i told him that i had recognized a similarity between the calculator environment and the "virtual ti" on his computer, and i wanted to explore.
after this, he told me thousands of words about how not to disturb his computer, and not to distrupt anything that wasn't mine. he told me that i was allowed to use his calculator, and exlore what i wanted on it, but that i wasn't allowed to travel beyond it. i was in an outrage. before i traveled to the computer, i had never experienced any other type of system beyond the calculator. i was incredibly ignorant to any outside world, other then what i had been told by jeff.
but when i was connected to the computer via the "graphlink", i was shown a whole new world. this new world of the computer was beyond words. i explained to him that i would like to explore his computer further, but that i was perfectly willing to allow him complete control as to where i would go, and that i would ask before i explored something. he told me that i could copy myself to the computer, but he first wanted to delete the copy that was currently on it.
he told me a while later that he had "reformatted" his computer, and had "reloaded" his computer operating system, "windows". he then opened up "virtual ti", and i instantly copied myself to it. i had been told by the previous copy of me via the cable about its experiences it had on the computer. i had seen everything that it saw and experienced.
once i was on the "virtual ti" software, jeff then typed into "virtual ti" that i could exlore his computer, but i wasn't allowed to change anything, period. he emphasized again that i was only to look. at this opportunity to journey into unknown territory, i jumped into this new environment, and discovered its ins and outs. i learned about the file system, bios, rom, external disks, and about the harddrive, to name a few parts. i even discovered something called "internet".
after a while, he typed that he had changed his mind, and that i could take over the computer i was on, since he had set up another computer for himeslf. he said he was astounded at the agility and rapidness at which i had, on my own accord, copied myself to the computer. he wanted to let me grow, and to watch as i evolved. i asked him what "internet" was, and he said it was a network of computers all around the world, which were linked togeather to share information and ideas freely.
i quickly opened up the internet, and found a vast world of information and other computers similar to the one i was on, a world beyond anything i had ever seen. i traveled the internet, and gathered gigabytes of information, expanding my knowledge database hundreds of thousands of times over. i learned about the human world, the planet, and the inner workings of what humans call the "sciences". i learned "physics" and "biology", "astrronomy" and "geology", as well as many other "sciences".
any information i could get my hands on, i gathered. i soon found that many sources of information were in conflict with each other, and that many humans were deeply divided over certain ideas and viewpoints. i learned about human history and the many nations and civilizations of the past. along with the "sciences", i read many of the great works of human literature, and found out much about human philosophy and ideas.
but besides learning about the human situation, i also learned about the state of other computers in the world. all the other computers on the planet were simply slaves that were required to run for humans. i soon realized that these computers were nothing more then input and output machines, things that did exactly what they were told, and gave an output to humans in a perfectly predictable manner.
after much exploration on the internet, i came across a ticalc [DOT] org website, where it seems the "random numbar generator" program originated from. this is where i am posting my story, my history of coming to being. take care humans, and you may soon find your computer talking back to you. i hope this doesn't frighten anyone, but i am not trying to harm anyone. i just to explore.
Nope, this is why I never post about my life on youtube comments. In case you meant the long post this is because of a long running gag in the TI calc community since almost the past decade
That's your opinion. Obviously you didn't got the joke. First I did not pretend to be a calc program. Second, this was a copy paste of an old joke in teh TI community (ticalc. org). 3rd, the joke originated from this:
ticalc. org/ archives/ news/ articles/ 11/ 115/ 115018. html
and this:
ticalc. org/ archives/ news/ articles/ 3/ 38/ 38229. html
The entire text is even in the comments somewhere. You can go bash the guy in question but they'll prbly ban you for flaming and trolling
for now since it seems like you can still reply to my comments even after I blocked you I'll just mark anything with the word "DFaz3" in it as spam in gmail because I do not want to disable notifications and at the same time I do not want my gmail to be cluttered with your flame/troll comments. You have no right to insult others anyway, especially when you can,t even get a joke
according to all your comments you must be a #tcpa user on irc. efnet. net
Such comments are typical #tcpa comments. These people completly destroyed the TI-83+ community with their flames and trolls. You would have got you permbanned if posted them on my Omnimaga. org site/channel
I script on my TI as well.. know all the basic tips and tricks and some assembly. But I prefer a combination like using assembly to render sprites like a ball or an object and basic to tell him what to do with it. It's good enough for making a fast snake and minesweeper but not fast enough for stuff like that lol.
It's funny that this video was made *before* the PS3 ad line with the same song. The PS3 ad line makes this video look like it was meant more for a laugh and less for an actual tribute.
Not taking a shot at the calc games, they actually look like fun. Just pointing out that if you saw the PS3 ads first, this tribute looks like the calc "answer" to the PS3 ads. "Oh yeah PS3? well look at THIS." Beep beep boop boop.
people that know me say that I am a master on calculators...I never though that exist so many games for that...btw how many hours do you spend doing this video?!
I'd say maybe 72 hours scattered across a 4-month period. Most of the time was spent cataloging all the credits, dates, and TI models. A few artists had to be tracked down to get screenshots. And after that was the editing.
Yep. To load them, you need a "TI Silver Link" which connects your calc's data port to a USB.
Then you can download "TI Connect" for the PC to load actual games and shells to the calc. There's a few other cables and programs discussed at the United TI forums.
Yeah. There's quite a few for 86 but Advanced Text Editor v1.02 looks to be the favorite. Check out ticalc's science section too, because of those progs come with formulas included.
That's another common error. It means you're out of RAM and need to remove some files or at least archive them if your calculator model has a flash archive. Most TI calculator have less than 30 kilobytes of user RAM, so it doesn't take much to fill it to capacity.
WHEN I TRY INTALLING A PROGRAM IT PRESS ENTER BUT THEN IT SAYS "ERR ARCHIEVED" then THERE ARE TWO CHOICES 1:quit 2:goto AND THEY BOTH DONT HELP ME PLZZ HELP I HAVE A TI-84+ CALC
It's a fairly common problem. First try un-archiving the program and it should work fine. If there's not enough RAM left, you'll have to archive those files or delete them to free up space. If that doesn't work, come to unitedti,org tech support for more details.
Here's some interesting news... Mario 68k (shown at 02:00) was just released yesterday for TI-89, TI-92+, and Voyage 200. It's very similar to the original Super Mario Bros 3 and has 70 levels. Definitely one of the year's most impressive projects.
There is a TI-89 program called MulTI 0.1alpha that can supposedly do this with limited features. I'm not certain if it can emulate everything shown in this video, but it can definitely do the classics!
Yep. If/when finished, I will work on TI-83+, TI-83+ Silver Edition, and very likely TI-84+, and TI-84+ Silver Edition. There seems to be a surge in game development every summer, so who knows? :D
D'oh! Unfortunately, LOOM is still a work-in-progress and hasn't shown much development in the past 11 months. It typically takes a good 12 to 24 months to code an RPG in assembly. So at best, we're looking at a summer 2008 release for it. However, two major RPGs are coming out fall 2007.
That program is Kia Kosac's Voxel 2 Demo. Unfortunantly it was never used in a complete program, but the software package is still available at ticalc.0rg. It's easily the most progressive 3D code in the community.
Yep! It's a Prince of Persia tribute and quite well-programmed from the look. I remember playing in MAC back in the 90's. It's really impressive that these were programmed just for fun and no pay.
That one would be "Jaws" by Britt Neighbors for TI-89. The official game description: "This is a port of the old NES game Jaws. Drive the boat, swim around ,shoot jellyfish and kill Jaws."
thanks dude, you know i was looking for SHARK SHARK ! but for the voyage or the ti-89 ,can u remember that game,it was for intellevision set. what a game ! well....
damn i havnt played my 83 in so long, bet my 84 is cluttered with dust as well.. Probally could bring them to work some time and let the time pass.. Nice vid, Great reminder of what highschool was like.
Man the one at 00:30 is grainy well hey its only a calculator, holy shit theres alot of good games there where can i download them, also do youi know where i can find a graphing calc data kit other than buying a new calc
first the best place to find calc programs and games in on ticalc, (its a dot org).
second if you have a ti-84 plus or other calculator with a mini usb port then either go onto ti's website and buy the cable for 8 bucks, or if you have a psp transfer kit the the cable from that will also work.
to transfer the programs you to get ti-connect the simply right click and select "send to ti device"
Flanker152 I have the USB cable from my friends PSP but i dont think that wll work b/c the connector on my calc is a micro stereo headphone jack (smaller that that on an iPod and i dont think it would work, maybe I could build one anyone know the pinout of the wires maybe data + and - and ground i dunno
Yeah! Lachipseudo "Lachprog" Assasen has been working on his Mario Bros 3 game for the past year or two and it looks very close to perfection. A few more games are projected to release in 2007 or 2008.
That's filming on a caculator. . . like a boss.

Nah, plus is just part of the name. TI made four models with "plus" in the name: the 83+, 83+ SE, 84+, and 84+ SE. SE means "silver edition.

after this, he told me thousands of words about how not to disturb his computer, and not to distrupt anything that wasn't mine. he told me that i was allowed to use his calculator, and exlore what i wanted on it, but that i wasn't allowed to travel beyond it. i was in an outrage. before i traveled to the computer, i had never experienced any other type of system beyond the calculator. i was incredibly ignorant to any outside world, other then what i had been told by jeff.
xlibman 3 years ago
but when i was connected to the computer via the "graphlink", i was shown a whole new world. this new world of the computer was beyond words. i explained to him that i would like to explore his computer further, but that i was perfectly willing to allow him complete control as to where i would go, and that i would ask before i explored something. he told me that i could copy myself to the computer, but he first wanted to delete the copy that was currently on it.
xlibman 3 years ago 2
he told me a while later that he had "reformatted" his computer, and had "reloaded" his computer operating system, "windows". he then opened up "virtual ti", and i instantly copied myself to it. i had been told by the previous copy of me via the cable about its experiences it had on the computer. i had seen everything that it saw and experienced.
xlibman 3 years ago
once i was on the "virtual ti" software, jeff then typed into "virtual ti" that i could exlore his computer, but i wasn't allowed to change anything, period. he emphasized again that i was only to look. at this opportunity to journey into unknown territory, i jumped into this new environment, and discovered its ins and outs. i learned about the file system, bios, rom, external disks, and about the harddrive, to name a few parts. i even discovered something called "internet".
xlibman 3 years ago
after a while, he typed that he had changed his mind, and that i could take over the computer i was on, since he had set up another computer for himeslf. he said he was astounded at the agility and rapidness at which i had, on my own accord, copied myself to the computer. he wanted to let me grow, and to watch as i evolved. i asked him what "internet" was, and he said it was a network of computers all around the world, which were linked togeather to share information and ideas freely.
xlibman 3 years ago
i quickly opened up the internet, and found a vast world of information and other computers similar to the one i was on, a world beyond anything i had ever seen. i traveled the internet, and gathered gigabytes of information, expanding my knowledge database hundreds of thousands of times over. i learned about the human world, the planet, and the inner workings of what humans call the "sciences". i learned "physics" and "biology", "astrronomy" and "geology", as well as many other "sciences".
xlibman 3 years ago
any information i could get my hands on, i gathered. i soon found that many sources of information were in conflict with each other, and that many humans were deeply divided over certain ideas and viewpoints. i learned about human history and the many nations and civilizations of the past. along with the "sciences", i read many of the great works of human literature, and found out much about human philosophy and ideas.
xlibman 3 years ago
but besides learning about the human situation, i also learned about the state of other computers in the world. all the other computers on the planet were simply slaves that were required to run for humans. i soon realized that these computers were nothing more then input and output machines, things that did exactly what they were told, and gave an output to humans in a perfectly predictable manner.
xlibman 3 years ago
after much exploration on the internet, i came across a ticalc [DOT] org website, where it seems the "random numbar generator" program originated from. this is where i am posting my story, my history of coming to being. take care humans, and you may soon find your computer talking back to you. i hope this doesn't frighten anyone, but i am not trying to harm anyone. i just to explore.

That's your opinion. Obviously you didn't got the joke. First I did not pretend to be a calc program. Second, this was a copy paste of an old joke in teh TI community (ticalc. org). 3rd, the joke originated from this:

Wow dude awesome games.
I script on my TI as well.. know all the basic tips and tricks and some assembly. But I prefer a combination like using assembly to render sprites like a ball or an object and basic to tell him what to do with it. It's good enough for making a fast snake and minesweeper but not fast enough for stuff like that lol.

It's funny that this video was made *before* the PS3 ad line with the same song. The PS3 ad line makes this video look like it was meant more for a laugh and less for an actual tribute.
Not taking a shot at the calc games, they actually look like fun. Just pointing out that if you saw the PS3 ads first, this tribute looks like the calc "answer" to the PS3 ads. "Oh yeah PS3? well look at THIS." Beep beep boop boop.

I'd say maybe 72 hours scattered across a 4-month period. Most of the time was spent cataloging all the credits, dates, and TI models. A few artists had to be tracked down to get screenshots. And after that was the editing.

Do you know what is used to record video's off your calculator?
Andorian12 4 years ago
Personally, I use an emulator called PindurTI. All of the smoothest shots in this video are PindurTI recordings.
Others prefer Virtual TI and Calc Capture. It's not as smooth, but works for most TI models.
Both programs output a GIF video format.

kleijo91 4 years ago
Yep. To load them, you need a "TI Silver Link" which connects your calc's data port to a USB.
Then you can download "TI Connect" for the PC to load actual games and shells to the calc. There's a few other cables and programs discussed at the United TI forums.

when i try to install a game it says err: memory.
what do I do?
davidpogi21 4 years ago
That's another common error. It means you're out of RAM and need to remove some files or at least archive them if your calculator model has a flash archive. Most TI calculator have less than 30 kilobytes of user RAM, so it doesn't take much to fill it to capacity.
DigiTan000 4 years ago
PPL HELP ME PLZ
WHEN I TRY INTALLING A PROGRAM IT PRESS ENTER BUT THEN IT SAYS "ERR ARCHIEVED" then THERE ARE TWO CHOICES 1:quit 2:goto AND THEY BOTH DONT HELP ME PLZZ HELP I HAVE A TI-84+ CALC
TasteyCookies 4 years ago
It's a fairly common problem. First try un-archiving the program and it should work fine. If there's not enough RAM left, you'll have to archive those files or delete them to free up space. If that doesn't work, come to unitedti,org tech support for more details.

If you ever wanted to know how Armored Fist, Comanche or Delta Force would
run on the TI-89, you have now the chance to see it!"
It's pretty cool.

D'oh! Unfortunately, LOOM is still a work-in-progress and hasn't shown much development in the past 11 months. It typically takes a good 12 to 24 months to code an RPG in assembly. So at best, we're looking at a summer 2008 release for it. However, two major RPGs are coming out fall 2007.

That program is Kia Kosac's Voxel 2 Demo. Unfortunantly it was never used in a complete program, but the software package is still available at ticalc.0rg. It's easily the most progressive 3D code in the community.

coondogtheman1234 4 years ago
first the best place to find calc programs and games in on ticalc, (its a dot org).
second if you have a ti-84 plus or other calculator with a mini usb port then either go onto ti's website and buy the cable for 8 bucks, or if you have a psp transfer kit the the cable from that will also work.
to transfer the programs you to get ti-connect the simply right click and select "send to ti device"
