Not nessarily, garbage collect will only work if there is something to do.

1,000,000 writes is the minimum granuteed by the flash hardware. I guess theres allittle overhead for safe.

Every 4minutes isn't much, It would take 7-8 years before anything goes wrong.

basicly it will render it useless. Reading, writeing, everthing.

omg.
So that means a program can basicly destroy your calculator?

yeah but it will take so long that you'll probably have retired from calc programming a LONG while before your flash ROM die

So could the blue screen of death.

I can run the BSOD 5 minutes on my SE and it still work fine, no LCD problems. I guess the test mode (BSOD) can damage the calc only after like one or two hours of runtime, or maybe my SE is special

The moment I see color appearing on my calc I will go for the batteryes.

I bleieve you send $18 to the LCD port or something or increase the contrast to a higher value to do that, or some asm lib for basic prgmers can do that

*goes back checking ASMI28D*

If you don't take out the execasm code, you could just do

Code: Select all

No virus code please

I think Iambian's Flash Crash is probably the best calc virus (personally I have never tried it. Maybe on my "friend"s calc

)

btw, anybody know what happened to iambian? I havent seen him for a vewry long while on this forum. I remember his calc LCD was dying and I havent heard about him since then. I know he's a member of Dragonfire but dragon fire is dead

So the calculator is so fragile
