Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #3 Posted by Maximilian Hohmann on 21 Feb 2011, 10:19 a.m., in response to message #2 by Namir Quote: Very impressive!!! In terms of processing speed maybe, but some things really don't work in black and white (or rather grey in grey). Doom without blood is like an HP calculator without an Enter key ;-) NB: Out 11 year oold son is just getting his nSpire now (a little early I think, but obviosly the way it is handled by his school) so I hope he dosen't find out about this doom thing...

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #4 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 21 Feb 2011, 10:48 a.m., in response to message #3 by Maximilian Hohmann Rumors are that TI is presenting a color version of the Nspire soon: TI Nspire CAS CX (source). If only the Hackspire folks crack this system as they did with the current version, we'll see Doom in color. ;)

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #7 Posted by Don Shepherd on 22 Feb 2011, 5:28 p.m., in response to message #6 by Namir Just some pictures comparing the existing NSpires with the new one. Probably won't know any details until they announce it.

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #9 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 21 Feb 2011, 11:33 a.m., in response to message #8 by John B. Smitherman Hi John, Didn't you mean Gene? I woudn't be able to have Tic-Tac-Toe running on a 15C even within a month... By the way, there are some Doom versions for the HP-48/49G at hpcalc.org: http://www.hpcalc.org/search.php?query=Doom I guess they don't compare to the nSpire version, though. Regards, Gerson.

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #10 Posted by Walter B on 21 Feb 2011, 1:48 p.m., in response to message #9 by Gerson W. Barbosa So now we know what graphic calcs are needed for - finally ;) For those who don't need playing DOOM on mobile, instant on devices the screen may be considerably smaller. And weight and power consumption, too. When I need a wrench I need a good, solid wrench and don't care about bells and whistles ... YMMV

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM, and other TI hacks... Message #11 Posted by Egan Ford on 22 Feb 2011, 10:26 a.m., in response to message #1 by gene wright 83/84 to not only get online, but play multiplayer games: http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5754 Old news, but an 84 was used to jailbreak a PS3: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/11/ps3-jailbroken-with-a-ti-84-plus-calculator/ While I think playing Doom, multiplayer calc games, and other clever TI hacks are useless, I still have to admire the hacks and applaud them. Especially, when they involving connecting things. My useless HP hacks that involve connecting things: 41CX home automation: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=763 71B navigation: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=746 50g serial keys: http://sense.net/~egan/skb/ I think I'll find a way to control my TV with my 41CX next. :-)

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #12 Posted by Ángel Martin on 22 Feb 2011, 5:36 p.m., in response to message #1 by gene wright The DOOM module for the 41 will shortly be available, stay tuned !:)

Re: TI-NSPIRE calculator plays DOOM Message #13 Posted by gene wright on 22 Feb 2011, 5:58 p.m., in response to message #12 by Ángel Martin The "Dungeon of Doom" module? ;-)
