TitanRom - Page 1

This post is really just for those who haven't read it on Time to Teams fourums...

I am planning on working on a new operating system called TitanRom for the ti-89, 89 Titanium, 92, and 92+. (A v200 version probably wont be made due to product code problems with the model itself).

The OS itself will be a mix of a command promt (very much like that of BSD Unix) and a very basic GUI (I have zero artistic ability )


Functions Supported As of Now-:
-A text editor similar to S-ide editor
-A (very) basic y= graphing system (something rementisent of that of the ti-83's)
-Asm programs are able to run.
-A semi-functional command prompt system (used as the system interface)

Functions Planned In the Future:
TBA

As with Pedrom, Apps Made by Ti will never be supported!

Any suggestions, comments, or help would greatly be appreciated!

As of now I am in serious need of a handful of decent beta testers, if you would like to help send me an email at secretary495@sbcglobal.net

How does it compare to Pedrom? Do you plan to implement a ROM_CALL emulation system, or are you using something completely different? Is there any reason not to be based off Pedrom, apart from reimplementing an OS?

Cf: topics/184-62601-titanrom-v001a#4
Et topics/184-62602-titanrom-v001a

Ca serait bien de ne pas recreer des topics partout

The OS will not be based off of Pedrom, I am hoping to give it a "Redhat Linux" feel.

And yes, it will be using rom call emulation

I will be posting a couple of screenshots in the next few days

My current problem is this:

I can't for the life of me, figure out how to make the source code into a tib file

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated

The TIGCC 0.95+ linker enables you to make your own OS. There is a version of PedroM using the TIGCC linker instead of a number of old tools, but I don't have any direct link to it.

Or uses PedroM's tools. Just choose.

Yes, that's what I'm refering to by "a number of old tools". Did you drop maketib ?

Not yet. This is planned for 0.82., and iff flashos.a becomes a native part of tigcc.

There are other patches:
* 89 Titanium and V200 support
* removed all non-completely-free components

Those two patchs are implemented (and in a better form) in the v0.81.

Thanks for help guys this should solve the immediate problem

Next question does anyone know if a program exists that would help with creating decent lokking text/dialog boxes?

One more thing, I need to know if anyone would actually be interested in another 3rd-party OS, and I also need a page to host my project any ideas?

If you want, you can edit your post (it's better than pòsting 3 times)

I can't help you for your problems, but I think that new OS is a good idea.

> Next question does anyone know if a program exists that would help with creating decent lokking text/dialog boxes?
The AMS text/dialog boxes look decent to me. They're the native AMS interface, their main drawback being that they don't work in grayscale mode.
That said, having a look at UserTextWindows and AdvancedDialogs may help you.

> I also need a page to host my project any ideas?
There are numerous options: yAronet (french/english), TI-Gen (french/english), TI-News.

Thanks for the text box ideas, im leaning towards the use of AdvancedDialogs

How would i go about get hosted on ti-news?

Another question, am I allowed to use parts of the Pedrom source code in my project?

Thanks, using some of the Pedrom source code will make my life much easier

(yes)

It's under the GPL license, i checked it out

(mmm, le topic a migré)

Raziel :

What do you mean exactly ?

And I find the name of the project a bit too similar to my project Titarom...

AS long as your project is under GPL, you can reuse some PedroM's code.

-While+"As long as" (sinon ça veut presque dire le contraire)

In reference to ExtendeD's comment, I can change the name of the project if it suits u better, I didnt know you had a project by that name. sry

One more thing, is PreOs under GPL?

Yes. Why ?

As you want, it's just to avoid confusion. Titarom is some documentation on AMS-Titanium and a patch to make it compatible with VTI ( topics/52-44353-titarom-la-titanium-sur-vti ).
