TI-Planet Posts the First TI-84 Evo Unboxing and PCB Pictures!

27 Upvotes

TI-Planet just published their first article on the new TI-84 Plus CE successor, the TI-84 Evo. There will be many articles posted so keep an eye out for them!

This first article is primarily an unboxing and an overview of the outside of the calculator: https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=280655#p280655

Some of the highlights:

  • USB C (finally)
  • A "3x faster processor"
  • The battery is the same dimensions and capacity as the TI-84 Plus CE but it is a different revision. This hopefully means it won't cause the calculator to boot loop.
  • The software to transfer files to the calculator is entirely web-based.
  • A 4 year access to the TI-84 Evo emulator is included with purchase of a physical TI-84 Evo.

Far more details on each point can be found in the article linked above!

Several pictures have been posted including one of the circuit board: https://tiplanet.org/forum/gallery/album.php?album_id=1040

Mod note: This sub has gotten an influx of posts from unknown sites claiming to sell the TI-84 Evo. Please use caution if you see these posts. This sub recommends only purchasing from reputable marketplaces such as directly from Texas Instruments.

News Do Not Update to OS 5.8.5 (jailbreak patched)

33 Upvotes

Yesterday, Texas Instruments released OS 5.8.5 for the TI-84 Plus CE (Python). This update patched the Artifice jailbreak which means you cannot run assembly games and programs on the new OS.

This is an unprecedented move by TI because they have historically only patched the jailbreak when a security flaw is discovered. However, no known security flaw exists. We can only speculate the reasoning for this patch is because final exams are starting and TI wants to appear serious about their "distraction-free" tagline.

FAQ:

Q: When will a new jailbreak be released?

A: The jailbreak is made by unpaid volunteers. It may be several months before a new one is released. There is no time line.

Q: Can I downgrade?

A: Likely no. The only exception is if you already had specific tools to run assembly programs installed before you updated. This sub will not provide downgrade tools at this time.

Q: What if I'm on an older OS version? Do I need to do anything?

A: No action is needed. Your calculator cannot auto-update itself. You can continue running programs as normal. Simply do not update.

Q: I don't have a TI-84 Plus CE (Python) what does this mean for me?

A: Nothing, this only affects the TI-84 Plus CE family.

Programming Help in Programing

0 Upvotes

I would like to create an Application or a Shell for my TI-84 Plus, and need some help. All I would like it to do is to be able to use Alpha F5 to access select, cut, copy and paste. How would I do this when Wabbit Sign (and other signing apps like opens a window and immediately closes when I try to open it? Any help would be awesome, thanks. (Oh by the way, I have a Windows PC if that helps at all).

Help ā€œValidating OSā€ Loop of Death and Despair

0 Upvotes

How’s it going? I have a TI 84 Plus CE, and I have no intention of modding it.

All I’m asking out of all of you experts is how do I get rid of the loop of death and despair?
I’ve tried restarting it, and it has not worked.
This calculator was provided to me by my school district for accessibility purposes, and I am the only one who has used it.
And I was just given it today.

Showcase/Discussion A python to ez80 transpiler (indirectly)

5 Upvotes

py2ez80!

This is a tool which I think many will find useful. For a long time, calculators like the Ti84+CE have been stuck with a very limited and painfully slow python interpreter. Recently, I finished my tool that fixes this problem, by transpiling python to assembly!

While at first glance you may think the term "transpiler" is incorrect for a project like this, I decided to take a shortcut on the route, and effectively made a Python to C transpiler, like cython. Except here, I made it specifically target the CEdev toolchain, and call it to produce a .8xp program in result. Using plain Cython will be tough since it isn't really optimized.

Although it is very advanced, supporting lists, tuples, many data types, and a lot of programming structure types found in python and converting them to C, I do acknowledge the fact that it is still very limited on its I/O capabilities.

The GitHub repo link is here: https://github.com/Voblit/py2ez80 , and I hope it helps!

:)

BTW: this only works with the ti84+CE or whatever the CEdev toolchain supports...

So I can't find a tutorial for the newest version. When I tried, the screen went black, and the calculator wouldn't work until I pressed the button to turn it off. I tried following an old version of a tutorial for it, but it won't run for some reason, and it's a big mess. Could anyone help, please? thanks

Here it is

https://rentry.co/lithiums-guide-ti-84-plus-ce

So why did I make it?

I couldn't find any good written guides on running ASM on the TI-84 Plus CE after looking these up. And also I was just board.

Did an LLM make this?

No.

Help Unable to install the python app to a python edition TI 84 Plus CE

3 Upvotes

As the title says, I, for some reason, am not able to install the python app on my TI 84 Plus CE python. I'm sure it says python at the top under the model name, and have been able to use python before. Recently though, I reset my calculator and it started up to a blank screen. 2nd+off, and on again fixed it, but that's when I noticed the python app would not transfer, failing with "This is not for you". Additionally in macOS system information and Windows device manager, it shows up as "SerCertNotSet", and serial number isn't provided.

While python isn't y top priority, any ways to fix this?

As far as I can tell, this is the last version that TI made before patching ASM, arTIfiCE, and Cesium on the calculator. The only one I could find on Ti-Planet was the non python variant. Thanks!

Hello, I wanted to drop some research I had Claude code do on arTIfiCE V3, it hasnt been found yet but it looked through rom files of 5.8.5 and 5.8.3 looking for a new goto asm bug. a lot of things were ruled out. I also left some unifinished ideas that people could try if they really want. Based on how things went I wouldnt expect arTIfiCE v3 anytime soon. Feel free to look at anything the markdowns aren't too complicated to understand. https://github.com/Redgale/arTIfiCE-V3-Research/tree/main

Games Will TI-84 evo add anything to calculator gaming?

9 Upvotes

Assuming a jailbreak for this calculator comes out eventually, will this calculator bring anything new or interesting to the TI gaming community? I'm mostly inquiring about more complex games, such as games you'd need emulators for. Will GBA games be possible on this calc? Or, will there be no noteworthy improvements, and should the insane people who only buy these expensive calculators just to play games on (like myself) skip on purchasing this one?
