[TI-83 Plus] How do I compile the code?

Post by poundflag »

Hello everyone,

can someone please explain me how to compile this simple C-File for the TI-83 Plus I tried every variation from the wiki-page, as well as my own. The only way to currently compile this file to a file that can be ran, is to use a very old build from z88dk and to use the ti8xansi config.
I use TI-Connect/TI-Graph-Link to transmit the files, but whenever I try it, I either get a Transmission error, or a Invalid Screen on the calc itself.
I've also tried to use the .bin file and convert them, but nothing worked.

Please help me with this problem. Please.

I did all the experiments in emulation, mostly VTI.
I need little more time to recap the process and try again, could a description on how to get it working on an emulator help?
I seem to remember there were little differences in the file format depending on the tranfer tool used, possibly dependent on the TI 83 version too

I'm wrapping (again) the ti83+ and ti84 topic related discussions here:

https://github.com/z88dk/z88dk/issues/1622

Please try if the mentioned "altfmt" option helps

we have finally news on this topic!

EDIT:
appmake is now creating TI83 Plus applications in the "right" format, a.k.a. the format expected by the recent tools and emulators, like Wabbitemu.
I kept an option on appmake, "-Cz--oldfmt", to restore the ancient, probably wrong, way to wrap the code. I suspect that some tool and VTI could prefer it.

I just spotted this video suggesting an interesting workaround for the TI84
