Bug with new Venus version

Post by kv83 »

Hey tr1p,

I was testing PindurTI, when I ran into a bug which propably is a cause of the new version of Venus. I did the following:

The ram is cleared.
I copied the venus.83g to PindurTI.
I run prgm -> A. (Don't know why though)
(Note that I don't delete anything)
I copied desolate.83p to PindurTI.
I run desolate.83p. It starts as it should. The old version of Venus took more space, and so you would got an memory error. But the new version is smaller.
Everything works. But after you start the game, and get to the last screen of text it hangs up.

I guess it's something related to the memory issue. :) Hope you can fix it.

(I didn't had time to see if it is the same on real calc, but I guess PindurTI works in this state almost as good as a normal TI-83)

This seems to be a problems with only PindurTI. I checked on my 83 with venus 2.4 and the version of Desolate I have (readme dated 14/08/2004) and it works just fine. Even when run from prgmA it works.

I don't understand the problem. Where does it hang? I can get into the game no matter how I do it (prgmA or program menu, whatever interrupt speed).

It does hang after you start the game and get to the text. It won't go any further after the last text box.

Which one do you mean? What does it say? Did you try to press ESC?

your talking about the intro text correct? On the last of the intro text it freezes?

I have test Desolate in PinurTI and it seems to work fine. You do realise that you have to press Mode (which is ESC i think) to close the intro text?

Actually, there is a problem, but it isn't exclusive to PTI. Desolate crashes nastily on ROM 1.10 when you want to start a game from the menu.

I guess the ROM 1.10 is the newer TI-83s (2000)?

Hmm...i didn't have that problem with 1.10. Desolate did crash when I ran it in VTI with rom 1.08.

Was this the final version? I will have to look over the code ... strange that noone has ever reported this until now. Are these rom version rare?

Yes, 1.10 was the final version for the 83.
Are these rom version rare?
Umm...yes. 83 roms are increasingly hard to come by.
