Hi!
Ahh, my real TI-92 plus is finally here having arrived yesterday (and I've made my own serial cable as I am not paying 25 quid for 3 resistors and 3 diodes)
Tried setting the path that way (though think that is one of the ways I tried to set it before) and no dice, guess it's in the docs but was never implemented (or the binaries I have are older than the docs)
Is the C compiler someone built into PedroM the GTC compiler by any chance? And if so, while it can't be distributed all in one, perhaps it can be distributed the way the console ROM hacks (translation etc.) are distributed? with the standard PedroM OS image (ideally without the CAS) and then a binary patch containing GTC so the two things are not distributed together but you can use an patcher to apply the second to the first? Might that not avoid the legal licensing issues...
I've been having some real difficulties with PedroM refusing to run certain apps with memory errors and so on, not sure if Falco's libexec patch will fix any of these...
Scott Adams text adventure interpreter seems affected (Shows the UI to select a game then resets with the Protected Memory error when I attempt to run one) but the Quill interpreter works fine.
The Chip-8 library also seems to work only some of the time (will work 0-1 times then reboots with System Error: Corrupted heap)...
C64 emulator attempts to boot but can't seem to see the ROM, Spectrum emulator actually does boot but ignores the parameter specifying which game to load, Gameboy emulator largely works but the configuration page doesn't (though that's not required to play the games)
These things all work in AMS (except the Chip-8 library which seems to require an older kernel than PreOS)
Are there any solutions to any of this or am I just not going to see any at this late stage -.-
Also, Falco, if you have a patched image for the 92+ with your bugfix and ideally without the CAS eating a massive chunk of flash I'd really appreciate a copy of that, the building of it seems nowhere near as simple as I thought and I'm clearly not going to get my head around this new platform quickly.
Thanks everyone

(sometimes I think things were a lot easier on my original ZX81, okay it was incredibly limited but at least I could fully understand it and what the ROM was doing)
