Ticalc staff, you never responded to the authors complaint that you posted the game against his will. Is this true? Did anyone bother to translate the page before they posted the article and file and see the request that the file remain on the page, or ask for permission?

Chances are that whomever chose to put this on TICALC frequently visited their page, and when s/he saw "v0.19" s/he just ran it, and took it right away without reading about it.

It now does appear as if the authors did not want to advertise the game widely, since it's apparently very rough around the edges.

This is an unusual case, because the beta was actually posted on their web site along with the stable version. Normally versions not intended for distribution aren't posted publicly. We didn't catch on to the situation quickly enough because the web page is, of course, in French.

Had we heard about the mixup sooner, we would have yanked the file. As far as I know, the authors have not contacted us directly about removing the beta version; it's into wide circulation already, so the damage is done. Since the beta version remains available for anyone to download from their web site, the outcome is probably the same as if we had simply posted a news item pointing people there instead.

Still, I want to stress that we will honor the wishes of program authors and remove any files that weren't intended for release. We'll be as careful as possible about this in the future. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Nice save.

There is a girl named Melanie McLaughlin, she lives in Illinois. She is the most beautiful angel in the whole world and I hope she knows this.

Melanie rocks!!!
:D

Damn Right she rocks !!!, She's got that kind of face that when you see it smiling you can help smiling back and saying something nice to her.

i had a truck like that once...

It must not have been a Ford!!

Trust me, she's no truck. She's got a body and a face that puts most other girls to shame :)

How do you take a Screen Shot with the TI-Graph link while a program is running?

you cant

U can with some emulators. or maybe if the fargo screenshot thing has been recompiled, you could do it with a parallel link.

Just as you do when a program isn't running?

I think it depends on the software you use.

Looking at the screenshot, I'm really, really impressed.... I have only a 82 and 83, and I'm really pissed. Damn, I envy those with the TI-8/92+ calcs...... gotta get me one of these, but don't have the money... hey, who wants to buy a 82?

I'll give you US$20

Offer it for $21 and you've got yourself a deal...$25 is my highest bid.

This is off-topic, but I was wondering about Sam Heald's port of Zelda to the 82/83 calcs.... on schedule or not? What is the URL for their website? Or did I miss something recently? Thanks, I was just wondering, since the 83 is getting kind of boring in class, with plain ol' Bombs and Boxe 2, ZTetris... and with all the excellent games coming out on the 89, I'm despairing....

I think this game is geting bigger and bigger in size. It takes a lots time to trasfer data, and the link is not fast at all :(

So it takes 5 minutes to copy to the calcualator, big deal.

I do think the game is getting too big though, there is no room for anything else, even after archiving all the fighters, there is barely any room for more...games.

Well my freind if you set up your calc to work the way mine does I have all the players and background loaded, plus mario, tetris, dimonds, -pipeline, columns, text files and viewer, doors Final 1.92, tunnel, falldown, frogger, one mario level, kwink and a few more games (note a total of 27 games not counting sf2t)

How did you do that? Please respond or email me. Thanks in advance

Nathan

Yeah, how did you do that?
Please tell me.

Either it is some super compression, you physically added more memory, or you are lying. But if you did it with some kind of software, I would love to hear about it.

doors will allow you to zip and unzip files. now, of course you have to unarchive the thing, zip it, archive it and do the exact oposite to run it, but it is possible to put a hell of a lot of stuff on your calc. it's interesting to note as well that most games are already compressed (or at least their graphics are).

It is not physically possible for u to achieve this unless u internally upgraded the systems memory. I know that ti.com is coming out with a memory upgrade in July, adds 100k I think, but have u created ur own internal memory upgrade? Didn't think so. Haven't u learned that lying is a sin?

He is obviously using moremem. If my assumptions are right, his name is Brian Chutro and he's in my AuctoCAD class. Note: Using moremem will screw up your calculator's garbage collecting operations so don't use it. His calculator already crased 3 times in one class period.

But moremem only adds 64K to the archive, not what he is talking about.

well well well moremem does work with 100% but you have to make sure you are not loading a program that might mess it up and you are not using the newest beta of doors which contain a archive and unarchive commands built into doors. I have talled to the doors team and gave them a few ideas and we will see what happens from their... Well that is all my setup does work but it takes about 1/2 hour to load everything. Maybe if i take control of a page that I think is worth it i will post my exe. setup. Also I just sent tocalc a copy of my Text File For All THe Moves Of SF2T!!

Are there even 27 games out?

Go to the ti-89 archives here and count them for yourself. :P

how did you get kwirk to work? it always crashes my calc when i run it. i have ams1.00 and doors beta2, do you need an older version of doors or something?

I think he meant link play. Not transfering the game.
