I don't think you can modify the value at 38h...

Well, if you can it would be a good way to stuff the os

Well, I think it would be simpler to tranfser a bad OS to your friends, Maybe just leave them with the Waiting screen. Or have it so when the the calc APDs write to the flash one million times, AND destroy it.

OR we could just not plague TIcalc with useless programs.

Andy quick upgrade to a two byte post count instead of one, otherwise you'll carry over to zero.

Destroying the flash on someones calc is a cheap and dirty act. I would be seriously outraged if anyone ever did that.

I always use unsigned longs for that kind of stuff.

I completely agree with that. If anyone ever figures out how to do that, they'd better not tell anyone else.

I got the funniest crash playing Acelgoyobis one time, I hit Quit and it just scrolled the title screen along the screen, very rapidly, wrapping it around the screen again and again.

Lol, you mean like the reuben battle intro, which was thought as a crash to many people a few months ago? (Acelgoyobys still pwnz though)

Wow, surely that crash couldnt have been a result of faulty code by CoBB ... could it?

I dont think so, but programming this game might have been very hard you know (especially the physics), maybe there is some remaining bugs somewhere, but I never crashed my calc with acelgoyobis, except when there is not enough RAM on my 83+ but thats not a big problem since I archive most unused levels

wait you can destry flash?

Yes, Hammer + calc = dead flash.

Excessive writing and clearing of the flash can cause it to wear and die. But there are other things on you calc that would die first so it's not a big issue. As long no one that knows how to doesn't do it, we are all safe.

BUt when evil takes over watch yourself. I think Dan over at DS might be vengeful after the treatment he got from the beta Beggers.

It is a possible thing to acomplish. The blue waterfall on TIcalc is able to completely screw up the screen. But anything is possible!

o.m.g.
but that would mean $130 wasted for a calculator!

OH NO, I MADE GAMES THAT DESTROY THE FLASH ROM: ROL1 AND ROL2, THEY GARBAGE COLLECT EVERY 4MINUTES

STUPID MYSELF

Hmm, well, that was because I didnt heard of FLash GOrdon at that time

I heard at DS that after 100000 Garbage collect it destroy the flash
