Winamp Plugin for TI-89/92+
Posted by Eric on 3 December 2001, 19:15 GMT

TI-Winamp

More news from the TI-Hardware front...Carlos Becker has released a program for the TI-89 and TI-92+ that can be used in conjunction with a Winamp plugin to transform your calculator into a remote control of sorts. The setup requires a link cable (nearly all types are supported) to transfer the information.

Proceed to download the TI-Winamp package.

Update (Eric): The link to the required DLL file is invalid in the documentation of TI-Winamp. You can get it at SourceForge instead. Download the libticables-2.2.0.tar.gz archive, uncompress, and copy libticables.dll into the windows/system folder.

You know, ever since I saw the music player for the TI-86 I had wondered, why there wasn't one for the TI-89? I personally think that it would be awesome. After all, the TI-89 could hold more files anyways, right?

It's not actually a music program where you put music files on your calculator and play them. All the program does is control the functions like (play) and (next song) for Winamp on your computer. Although the TI-89 and 92+ do have much more memory, it's not enough to be capable of holding a substantial amount of music (yet).

I understand that, but reading the article it just made me remember, and since they're SORT OF related, I decided to post it. :)

Try some of the ones for the 86. The quality is crap, and they are short, much less than a full song. Not that it isn't a cool hack for a calculator, but it's definitely no portable music player.

The 89 probably couldn't hold more than 10 minutes worth, with compression. And it's going to be absolutely terrible quality. To get any kind of decent sound quality, you need a DSP, or other hardware to generate sound. Changing the state of a couple wires isn't enough.

how on the ti-89 can you get it make a random intiger... like on the 83+ you can go RandInt(10,1) and it will randomally pick a number between 1 and 10? is this possible on the ti-89?

Not *exactly* the same, but if you do rand(x), it picks any number from 1 to x. I'm pretty sure I could write up a quick function to do the same as RandInt(x,y) , but I'm too lazy and tired right now. It's 4AM. Good night.

actually, rand(x) will return a value from 0 to x-1... i like the 85 system a LOT better... it does a random 12 digit long decimal from (0,1) (or [0,1]? doesn't matter.... chance is like nothing that you'll get 0 or 1...) so you can do anything you want a lot easier with it... just gotta use the round thingy to get integers... (someone lost my 85 so i don't know the functions exactly) so i believe it's :int rand()*x->y on the 85 will do the same thing as :rand(x)->y on the 89 (or something like that)

The 86 has a good system too, randint(x,y)

x is the lowest possible, y is the highest possible. There is also rand for any value between 0 and 1

hmm. when I did rand(1), it only ever picked 1. when I did rand(2), it returned either 1 or 2. Maybe the devil has possessed your 89.

Irrelevant question. Topic: Computer ethics.

Is it all right to write a virus, as long as it never leaves your computer and you only use it for educational purposes?

Why wouldn't it be? There's no better way to understand how things work. You might be interested in Core Wars. It's a kind of computer environment game/simulation where multiple programs try to kill each other.

Does anyone know where you can _download_ the libticables DLL that this plugin requires? On the SourceForge site you have to mail the author to get it. :(

Does this work under XP, BTW?
