This means that Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow can be run on all calculators! +* Games that have 32KB of cartridge RAM but only use the first 8KB, 16KB, or 24KB will now only save to 1, 2, or 3 appvars respectively. +* Fixed a waitloop detection error, speeding up parts of some games like Kirby's Dream Land. + +## Beta 0.2.02: +* The STAT behavior is fixed for real, cycling through all 3 modes within each scanline. + +## Beta 0.2.01: +* Timer emulation is more accurate relative to emulation speed, fixes Super Mario Land freezing. +* More STAT compatibility. Now it cycles through all 3 modes. + +## Beta 0.2.00: +* Rearranged some code/data, allowing TI-84 Pocket.fr compatibility and freeing some RAM. +* Reimplemented waitloop detection, which should eat much less CPU time per frame now. +* Rendering tricks are more reliably detected, fixing graphics in parts of some games. +* Emulator control keys are checked more often, improving responsiveness. Also, sprite tracking selection improved. +* Added custom frameskip settings. +* GPU speed is more accurate when sound is enabled, speeding up parts of some games. +* Timer emulation is more accurate, fixes music in Super Mario Land among other things. +* Extremely high-pitched sounds are changed to a slightly lower pitch, which should prevent freezes. +* Bit 1 of STAT is now toggled at every scanline from 0 to 143, which fixes some games. +* makeapp.exe updates: + - Allow manual special character entry in app names, by typing \XY (XY is a hexadecimal character value) + +## Beta 0.1.07: +* Fixed some small bugs introduced in Beta 0.1.06. + +## Beta 0.1.06: +* Added support for 4-channel sound. + +## Beta 0.1.05: +* Added some support for low-priority sprites, i.e. sprites can be displayed behind the background tilemap. Fixes quite a few graphical glitches! +* Fixed a cartridge RAM mapping glitch, which fixes compatibility with TI-Boy Alpha 4-appvar saves. Breaks compatibility with TI-Boy Beta 4-appvar saves. + +## Beta 0.1.04: +* Added timer check in RET opcodes, which significantly increases framerate in Pokemon textboxes. + +## Beta 0.1.03: +* Added light and dark monochrome palettes +* Reincluded the defragmentation OS glitch patch so APPs won't get corrupted if pages start with 0xFF. +* makeapp.exe updates: + - Internal appnames are padded with spaces instead of null bytes for better linking software compatibility. + - Trailing pages filled with 0x00 or 0xFF bytes are now removed from ROMs. This saves a lot of space in certain ROMs (e.g. saves 304KB in Pokemon Red). + +## Beta 0.1.02: +* Save files are archived upon exit. +* Fixed glitch in which only the first 8KB is loaded from a 32KB save. +* Fixed very bad glitch in 32KB saving caused by `bcall(_DelVarArc)` trashing `(OP1)`. +* Pressing Select no longer causes a false press of B on some calculators. +* makeapp.exe updates: + - Output app is now always placed in the same folder as the exe. + - APPs which have 32KB saves now have a maximum of 7 characters in their names (because the save data goes into 4 separate appvars which need unique names) + +## Beta 0.1.01: +* TI-Boy no longer makes a resident patch to the OS (so the OS stays valid and there are no conflicts with other patches). +* Flash writing is now done in 6MHz mode so it works on slower flash chips. +* makeapp.exe updates: + - Spaces in ROM filename now handled correctly when program is run with no arguments. + - Searches for tiboy.bin and rabbitsign in the same folder as the exe. + - Displays number of pages in generated APP. + +## Beta 0.1.00: +* First public beta (on omnimaga.org) diff --git a/LICENSE.md b/LICENSE.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..443d7b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.md @@ -0,0 +1,675 @@ +### GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + +Version 3, 29 June 2007 + +Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + + +Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this +license document, but changing it is not allowed. + +### Preamble + +The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for +software and other kinds of works. + +The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed +to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, +the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom +to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains +free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use +the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies +also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply +it to your programs, too. + +When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you +want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new +free programs, and that you know you can do these things. + +To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you +these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you +have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the +software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom +of others. + +For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same +freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive +or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they +know their rights. + +Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: +(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License +giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. + +For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains +that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and +authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as +changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to +authors of previous versions. + +Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run +modified versions of the software inside them, although the +manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the +aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The +systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for +individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. +Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the +practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in +other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those +domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the +freedom of users. + +Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. +States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of +software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish +to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program +could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL +assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. + +The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + +### TERMS AND CONDITIONS + +#### 0. Definitions. + +"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. + +"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds +of works, such as semiconductor masks. + +"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this +License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and +"recipients" may be individuals or organizations. + +To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work +in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of +an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of +the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. + +A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based +on the Program. + +To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without +permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for +infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a +computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, +distribution (with or without modification), making available to the +public, and in some countries other activities as well. + +To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other +parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user +through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not +conveying. + +An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to +the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible +feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) +tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the +extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the +work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If +the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a +menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. + +#### 1. Source Code. + +The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of +a work. + +A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official +standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of +interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that +is widely used among developers working in that language. + +The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other +than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of +packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major +Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that +Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an +implementation is available to the public in source code form. A +"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component +(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system +(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to +produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. + +The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all +the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable +work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to +control those activities. However, it does not include the work's +System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free +programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but +which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source +includes interface definition files associated with source files for +the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically +linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, +such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those +subprograms and other parts of the work. + +The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can +regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. + +The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same +work. + +#### 2. Basic Permissions. + +All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of +copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated +conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited +permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a +covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its +content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your +rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. + +You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, +without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. +You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having +them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with +facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the +terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not +control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for +you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and +control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your +copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. + +Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the +conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes +it unnecessary. + +#### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. + +No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological +measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article +11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or +similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such +measures. + +When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid +circumvention of technological measures to the extent such +circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with +respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit +operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against +the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid +circumvention of technological measures. + +#### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. + +You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you +receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and +appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; +keep intact all notices stating that this License and any +non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; +keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all +recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. + +You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, +and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. + +#### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. + +You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to +produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the +terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these +conditions: + +- a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified + it, and giving a relevant date. +- b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is + released under this License and any conditions added under + section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 + to "keep intact all notices". +- c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this + License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This + License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 + additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, + regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no + permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not + invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. +- d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display + Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive + interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your + work need not make them do so. + +A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent +works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, +and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, +in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an +"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not +used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users +beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work +in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other +parts of the aggregate. + +#### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. + +You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of +sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable +Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these +ways: + +- a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product + (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the + Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium + customarily used for software interchange. +- b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product + (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a + written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as + long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product + model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a + copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the + product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical + medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no + more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this + conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding + Source from a network server at no charge. +- c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the + written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This + alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and + only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord + with subsection 6b. +- d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated + place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the + Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no + further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the + Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to + copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source + may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) + that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain + clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the + Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the + Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is + available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. +- e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, + provided you inform other peers where the object code and + Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general + public at no charge under subsection 6d. + +A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded +from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be +included in conveying the object code work. + +A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any +tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, +family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for +incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a +consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of +coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, +"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of +product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way +in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected +to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of +whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or +non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant +mode of use of the product. + +"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, +procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to +install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User +Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The +information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of +the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with +solely because modification has been made. + +If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or +specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as +part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the +User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a +fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the +Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied +by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply +if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install +modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has +been installed in ROM). + +The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a +requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or +updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the +recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or +installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification +itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network +or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the +network. + +Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, +in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly +documented (and with an implementation available to the public in +source code form), and must require no special password or key for +unpacking, reading or copying. + +#### 7. Additional Terms. + +"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this +License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. +Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall +be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent +that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions +apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately +under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by +this License without regard to the additional permissions. + +When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option +remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of +it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own +removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place +additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, +for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. + +Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you +add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders +of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: + +- a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the + terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or +- b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or + author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal + Notices displayed by works containing it; or +- c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, + or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in + reasonable ways as different from the original version; or +- d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors + or authors of the material; or +- e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some + trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or +- f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that + material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions + of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, + for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly + impose on those licensors and authors. + +All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further +restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you +received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is +governed by this License along with a term that is a further +restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains +a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this +License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms +of that license document, provided that the further restriction does +not survive such relicensing or conveying. + +If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you +must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the +additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating +where to find the applicable terms. + +Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the +form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the +above requirements apply either way. + +#### 8. Termination. + +You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly +provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or +modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under +this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third +paragraph of section 11). + +However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license +from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, +unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally +terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder +fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to +60 days after the cessation. + +Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after +your receipt of the notice. + +Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently +reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same +material under section 10. + +#### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. + +You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run +a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work +occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission +to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, +nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or +modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do +not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a +covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. + +#### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. + +Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically +receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and +propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible +for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. + +An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an +organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an +organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered +work results from an entity transaction, each party to that +transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever +licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could +give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the +Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if +the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. + +You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the +rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may +not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of +rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation +(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that +any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for +sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. + +#### 11. Patents. + +A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this +License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The +work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". + +A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned +or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or +hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted +by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, +but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a +consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For +purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant +patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of +this License. + +Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free +patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to +make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and +propagate the contents of its contributor version. + +In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express +agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent +(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to +sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a +party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a +patent against the party. + +If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, +and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone +to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a +publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, +then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so +available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the +patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner +consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent +license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have +actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the +covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work +in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that +country that you have reason to believe are valid. + +If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or +arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a +covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties +receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify +or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license +you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered +work and works based on it. + +A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the +scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on +the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically +granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you +are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the +business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the +third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the +work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties +who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent +license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by +you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in +connection with specific products or compilations that contain the +covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent +license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. + +Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting +any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may +otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. + +#### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. + +If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a +covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under +this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a +consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to +terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying +from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could +satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely +from conveying the Program. + +#### 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. + +Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have +permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed +under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single +combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this +License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, +but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, +section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the +combination as such. + +#### 14. Revised Versions of this License. + +The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions +will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in +detail to address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public +License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of +following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or +of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the +Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public +License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free +Software Foundation. + +If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions +of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public +statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to +choose that version for the Program. + +Later license versions may give you additional or different +permissions.

Do not expect incredible compatibility. + +This was rewritten from scratch since the Alpha version, specifically to support newer TI-84+/TI-84+SE calculators (which have smaller RAM chips). + +TI-83+ and TI-Nspire with 84+ keypad are not supported, and never will be. + +Grab the latest pre-built release at or check out the [Build Instructions](#build-instructions) to build from source. + +## Disclaimer +This is a beta piece of software (though a well-tested one). The creator is not held responsible for any damages caused. Use at your own risk! + +TI-Boy will temporarily replace part of the TI-OS, for greater speed and more available RAM. An automatic recovery feature is included in the case of a crash. + +Nonetheless, this program is not likely to permanently brick your calculator. The most damage it might cause is a RAM clear and/or an OS reinstall. + +## Beta Version Features +* Works on all black-and-white TI-84+ models +* Better game compatibility +* Significantly faster CPU emulation +* Has four zoom levels (100%, 75%, 60%, 50%) +* More intuitive zooming controls (pressing Plus and Minus!) +* Black-and-white zoom modes use dithering to increase visual quality +* Supports 4-channel sound output +* Recovers RAM data in the case of a crash + +## Creating APPs +Note: Any warnings given about pages beginning with FFh can be safely ignored, because TI-Boy patches the defragmentation glitch in the TI-OS. + +### Method 1: Drag-and-drop +Open the TI-Boy folder, then drag a Game Boy ROM file onto `tiboyse_makeapp.exe`. A command-line window should open. + +If the ROM opened successfully, the program will request a name for the APP. Type it in and press Enter. + +Watch the console output for any compatibility warnings. + +### Method 2: Run the EXE +Open `tiboyse_makeapp.exe` directly. A command-line window should open and ask for a ROM filename. You may have to enter the entire filepath. + +If the ROM opened successfully, the program will request a name for the APP. Type it in and press Enter. + +Watch the console output for any compatibility warnings. + +### Method 3: Command-line arguments +Open a command-line window and navigate to the TI-Boy folder. Enter in the following format: + + tiboyse_makeapp romfilename.gb AppName + +Watch the console output for any compatibility warnings. + +If you get a missing DLL error when running the command-line utility, you may need to install the [Universal C Runtime](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows). + +## Sending APPs +Use TI-Connect or other compatible linking software. Note: Not all TI-Boy APPs can fit on non-Silver Edition calculators (see [FAQ](#frequently-asked-questions)). + +## Running TI-Boy +Open the APPs menu, and start the APP. + +It should display the loading screen. Do not remove a battery while this is loading, or you will have to reinstall the TI-OS. + +Then, start playing! (See controls below.) + +To quit, press the ON button. Quitting takes a few seconds as it restores the TI-OS. Again, do not remove a battery during this step. + +If the emulator freezes and pressing ON does not cause it to quit (which does work in most cases), feel free to remove a battery. + +TI-Boy will automatically restore the TI-OS and your previous RAM contents if this happens. + +## Controls + +### Game controls: +* ↑ ↓ ← → D-Pad +* 2ND A +* ALPHA B +* MODE START +* XTθn SELECT +* ON Power switch (exit the emulator) + +### Emulator controls: +* CLEAR Battery Saver or Teacher Key (suspends emulation and turns off the screen) +* STAT Toggle sound emulation (default is off).

What's up with that? + +**A.** When sound emulation is turned on, TI-Boy will to the best of its ability emulate the Game Boy sound hardware and output sound waves to the I/O data port. + +However, this comes at a performance cost. There are 4 channels that are emulated, and 2 are outputted to each ear. There is no volume control. + +## +**Q.** How do I listen to the sound? + +**A.** You will need a 2.5mm-male to 3.5mm-female adapter to plug in standard headphones/speakers to the I/O data port. + +It is recommended that you plug in the headphones after starting TI-Boy (because the homescreen responds very slowly when headphones are plugged in). + +## +**Q.** How big are the APPs? + +**A.** Generally, take the size of the ROM and add 16KB (16384 bytes). Sometimes you might get lucky and have a smaller APP if there is a lot of empty space in the ROM. + +Pay attention to the size displayed when `tiboyse_makeapp.exe` finishes. + +## +**Q.** Will xxxx ROM fit on my calculator? + +**A.** If you have a Silver Edition, ROMs up to 1MB (1024KB) in size will fit. If you have a normal TI-84+, ROMs up to 256KB in size will fit. + +Make sure to delete useless APPs from your calculator if needed. + +## +**Q.** So the compatibility issues with newer calculators are fixed? + +**A.** Mostly. There is still not enough RAM to emulate cartridges which use 32KB RAM, added to all the RAM in the Game Boy itself. + +Thankfully, such cartridges are few and far between. Also, such games that do not use all of that RAM, such as Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, can run with few issues. + +## +**Q.** Which calculators have a large enough RAM chip for this RAM-hogging game I want to play? + +**A.** All TI-83+SE calculators have the larger RAM chips. TI-84+ and TI-84+SE calculators have larger RAM chips if they were manufactured before around April 2007. + +To be more specific, check the back of your calculator. The last part of the serial number should be in the format X-MMYYR, +where MM is the month, YY is the year, and R is the revision. For example, S-0207G means manufactured in February 2007 with revision G. + +Revisions G and earlier have the larger RAM chips, and revisions H and later have the smaller RAM chips. +If the revision letter is missing, that means it is before revision A (and should work). + +## +**Q.** What exactly does TI-Boy do to my calculator when it runs? Why the warnings? + +**A.** TI-Boy needs part of the Flash (Archive) memory which is taken by the TI-OS. So, it backs up this section of the OS and puts its own data there. + +Also, this is where your RAM is backed up in the case of a crash. When TI-Boy exits, the OS is put completely back to normal. There are two reasons for doing this: + +1. The emulator becomes quite a bit faster and simpler if GameBoy data can be in the space normally taken by the OS. + +2. Having control of this memory space allows automatic recovery in the case of a crash. + +## +**Q.** Does tiboyse_makeapp convert Game Boy ROMs into native TI code? + +**A.** No. The ROM is slightly rearranged to fit into an APP and bundled with the emulator code. Converting to native TI code is infeasible for many reasons. + +## +**Q.** My calculator died! It's all your fault! + +**A.** Don't panic! To send a new OS, hold DEL while inserting a battery to bring up the Send OS screen. + +And make sure to report the bug, because we don't want this sort of thing to happen, now do we? ;) + +## +**Q.** Where is xxxx feature? + +**A.** This project is no longer under active development; it has been superceded by [TI-Boy CE](https://github.com/calc84maniac/tiboyce). + +However, it is open source, so feel free to fork the project if you're adventurous! + +## +**Q.** xxxx ROM doesn't work! + +**A.** Sorry, but specific game compatibility is a low priority due to the emphasis on performance. + +## +**Q.** how do i tern on my caclulater + +**A.** ... + +## Build Instructions + +To build the emulator from source, first clone the git repository and init/update submodules with the following command: + + git submodule update --init + +Now grab the latest release of [SPASM-ng](https://github.com/alberthdev/spasm-ng/releases). + +For simplicity's sake, I'll call the name of the executable `spasm` below. Run the following to produce the emulator file: + + spasm tiboyse.z80 tiboyse_makeapp/tiboy.bin + +To build the app generation tool, use the provided Visual Studio solution in the [tiboyse_makeapp](tiboyse_makeapp) directory, +which will consume the output from SPASM as a PE resource to create a standalone executable. + +In theory, you can build the source for any platform with your C compiler of choice, by building `makeapp.cpp` and linking against +librabbitsign from the submodule. In this case, the executable will read tiboyse.bin from its own directory at runtime. + +## Credits +* calc84maniac for coding/design +* thepenguin77 for clean flash unlock hack +* FloppusMaximus for Rabbitsign (app signer).
