I was wondering why the news and prgms weren't being updated. Why aren't there any memory adders for the TI-83+? Is it possible to make one?

Normally, TI-OS blocks users of old TI-89s from using half of their archive memory. MaxMem allows users of old TI-89s to use all of the archive memory they currently have. I don't think there is any "extra" unused archive memory like that on the TI-83+, so you couldn't make a version of MaxMem for the TI-83+. You couldn't even make a version for Hardware 2 TI-89s, because you can already use all of the archive memory on those.
P.S. I'm still wondering why the programs aren't being updated. Surely more has been uploaded to ticalc.org in the past week or so than has been posted! I know my program hasn't been posted yet.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Why are they stopping programming on Solar Striker? Is it because they are done or because they don't want to work on it anymore?

The former, I think.

They might decide to make a new version like DoorsOS. Remember DoorsOS 0.96 "Final Edition"? We thought that was the end of DoorsOS, but then we hear "DoorsOS 0.97 Prelease" from Xavior. So, maybe it wont be the end of Solar Striker.

Don't worry. TI's little goof-ups have a way of encouraging program development. It's commonly known as an AMS "upgrade" :)

Because the authors finished the game, that means to get a game as near as the gameboy game version.

MaxMem 2.0 came out yesterday, Saturday June 24 at 11:30 PST.

Oh my god, now we all know where Nick's kisses go...

Just kidding. But there's that German again, built right into the article. And it's not even readable. I actually had to translate it back to English in my head to find out what you meant.

Putting it right is pretty hard, too. "News," for one thing, can be translated to "Nachrichten." "Post," well, that I find hard to translate. My suggestion is to either leave it away and write "Here are 'Die Nachrichten'." Or you can use Genglish or whatever you want to call it and write "Here is 'Das Nachrichten-Update'." Perfectly legal, too. Next time I'll just leave it. Do whatever you want.

And you probably know I'm just fulfilling my role at this site. So you also know I don't want to insult you. :-)

Better luck next time, I say.

Actually, "der neusposten" is a reference to the gaming humor web site Penny Arcade.

Oh, OK. But how was I supposed to know that? I mean, I kind of thought that you probably did it on purpose. But I thought you just ran it through Babel Fish or something, and that's what came out. I tried that just now, and it wasn't far off: "Der Nachrichtn Pfosten"
The news pole, huh? :-)

Nah :) Babelfish is notoriously unreliable, and if I wanted to create an exact translation I would _so not ever use that piece of garbage_ :)

Anyway, this proves to you, I, and the rest of us all that you should be reading Penny Arcade much more often than you do.

GO! :)

this proves to _me_, not this proves to _I_ :)

Stupid grammar trolls.... ;ž

>s/me/myself/

(Stupid regexp's, I haven't used them before, so I hope I am interpreting this correctly...)

Ah, wrong again! "This proves to me..." is correct since you shouldn't be using the reflexive form. It _is_ proper, however, to say "I prove to myself..."

Come on, Nick! Even I knew that.

But I did make a spelling mistake. It's supposed to say "Nachrichten." Sorry. :-)

Didn't know this either!!!
I first also thaught you made a kind of fault in using "our" daily spoken German. But well,... Only to say Seb you're not the only one recognising that tricky "Der Neusposten"!!!!!

All these programs and I still wonder where the 89 version of the Zenith Saga Beta(?) is..

Nick.. do you know anything we dont on this?

Nope.
Wish I did, though.

what happens when MaxMem is installed into a HW2 92+?

It's for HW1 only, which have a silly restricTIon on usable archive memory. So it won't let you...
