ti 89 titanium \o/

[Spengo]

Yesterday, I went to school and discovered that I would have a very hard time in AP calculus without a 68k calculator. Ergo, that evening, I went out and bought a ti-89t. Anyways, I've been messing with it for a while, but I have encountered some problems. PreOS was successfully installed, and I also installed a bunch of 2-3 file games. However, I also tried to run Corridors, the fps for the 89's and 92's. I couldn't get it to work! Once when I tried it, I had some really bad crash which displayed the message something 1111 emulation or something like that and even taking out the batteries wouldn't fix it. (eventually I popped out the back up battery and all was good after that) Later I tried it again, and I kept on getting a thing that says that the calc detected a crash and it wouldn't run the program. Yes, I did archive everything first like the readme said. Now I'm afraid to try another one I wanted to play (Arena 3D) because it has a lot of the same files. Does anyone know what it is I am doing wrong? Maybe it's just my 68k n00bism that prevents me from running things.


EDIT: I was brave and tried arena3D. It runs great! So, it's just corridors that doesn't like me.

You've gotten hw3 patch and ghostbuster right?

[mnc2fan]

LOL, thats funny, I think I have there number...! How fast do you say Arena 3D runs (fps guess) awsome looking game. It sucks you can't get Corridors running, maybe HW 3 patch can make a difference. Good look

What's HW3? *googles and ticalc.orgs*

Arena 3D runs without any lag that I noticed. 'Tis a very funny game with many gameplay modes including multiplayer. I like how in multiplayer you get the Wolfenstein character and the Homer Simpson character! XD It needs more weapons though.

Your question has been answered here, in CalcGames's FAQ.

Hopefully that'll mean something to you since you know your way around calculators.

[Spengo]

Oh, I see. Maybe I should try it again. Corridors that is.

EDIT: uh oh. It seems my calc has version 3.01! It isn't supported by the patch! Ghostbuster worked great. (at least, as far as I can tell at the moment) *now goes to look for an updated version of the patch*

EDIT: another problem. I found the newer version of the patch, and now I get "error: unknown trap #11 hook"

The new AMS doesnt support all old games. On calcgames there is a link to the old AMS which does support said games.

[Spengo]

I thought that was the point of the patch. -_- Isn't it supposed to make the AMS's that don't work work?

[threefingeredguy]

That probly is the point of the patch. I was just throwin that out there. Mostly to sound like I know what I am talking about.

HW3 means HardWare 3. There are 3 types of ti-89's: 2 normal ones (hw1,hw2) and the titanium (hw3). So an 89-hw3 is a titanium.

[Spengo]

Yeah, I got that part. The problem is:

I found the newer version of the patch, and now I get "error: unknown trap #11 hook"

In other words, I can't get the patch to install.


EDIT: woah! I just found out that there is a new version of corridors that is compatible with the 89T! I guess I don't need the patch after all. Only problem is, to get it to run, I need to have my calc completely empty other than preos and itself. Oh well.
