You must use the backup in order to use assembly progams. The backup has
been hacked and is slightly different than the normal information stored in
the RAM. This allows programs to "take over" control of the calculator from
the OS. With basic programs, the OS reads them and does what they say.
With asm programs, the OS is tricked into directly running something it
shouldn't. The OS cannot be tricked by just sending a program and must
be hacked.
