On-Calc Z80 asm experiments

[bfr]

Well, I opened the program editor and put in the following:

AsmPrgm

When I ran it with Asm(), it ran my MLC Sprite Editor Program =p. Then, I added some basic commands, but as I figured, it wouldn't work. SO, I typed in something like:

16F9E3

after the AsmPgrm part.

I ran the program.

Then, when I checked on my list of programs, it wouldn't show up. It ended up being considered an equation , and I kept getting data-type errors. Then, when I my friend snatched my calc out of my hand and went to the graph screen, my calc froze. So, I reset it. It's a good thing I had MOST of my important stuff backed up.

Say, this is very interesting. The asm program ran, but the code was erroneous. I am sure that the program just threw some error to the stack or messed up the VAT or corrupted the heap (does the 86 have a heap?) or something similar.

Hmm...I'm thinking of making an asm code that completely changes the TI-86's OS but still retains all the features and even more.

[Vladik]

Say, do you even program in assembly?

If you don't, you could ruin your firmware FOREVER!

[bfr]

Well, technically I do, but I'm not very good at it. I'm getting better though.

[Vladik]

What can you do?

[bfr]

Crash my calculator . Well I can!

[Vladik]

Okay, then try it again to see if it crashes it again!
