The maximum length of the program code (6975) - slawek39 - 12-18-2014 06:06 PM

What is the limit of the length of the program? I have experimental program 736kB length. When I double its length calculator hangs.

Indeed, even with firmware build 6975, the calculator still behaves incorrectly with "large" programs...
Avoid programs larger than ~1 MB, you'll have fewer transfer errors / fewer calculator crashes / etc.

700 KB is quite good considering the TI-89 didn't even allow programs larger than 64 KB each, but it's definitively annoying for graphical-intensive programs and files such as mViewer.
