REQUESTING FEEDBACK ON PONG

Although this blog has almost no activity, I check it very frequently to see if there are any new coments and to provide some help if needed. And I can see that some people have trouble setting up PONG so that it doesn't gives any DIM ERROR when losing the game or checking the High Score. So, I'll update the game to include the Patch required to solve that problem inside the game. In the main menu there will be an option to patch the game. However, I'm willig to add a new feature, if you think it's a good idea. If you've played the game, you have probably noticed that the ball only bounces if it hits the pad ([) exactly on it's surface. If you try to hit the ball with the corner, that will not work and the ball will go through the platform. This is intended and not a bug. But, I'll add this feature if you think it's a good idea. The update will (probably) be launched next week and will include this feature unless you say it's not a good idea. So, I'll be waiting for your answers in the comments.

BOMBERMAN: ABANDONED

Almost a year has passed since I announced one of my projects: Bomberman. I was doing great. Maps were working, bombs were able to blow up boxes and they even had an animation! But, when I had to introduce BOTs, things messed up and I had to leave the project because 64Kb RAM weren't enough to control at least 2 BOTs, and so, I had to abandon it.

I'm sorry, but I hope you understand.

HOW TO HACK YOUR CASIO fx-9750 GII AND fx-9860 G OS

UPDATE: The flash image I have here doesn't works for those of you with the OS version 2.01.0700 nor 2.02.****. If you try to hack your calculator with this flash image and you have one of this versions, the calculator won't simply update. It will work normally. If you have or find an image for this versions, please contact me or simply post a link to them in a comment.

UPDATE 2: New flash images have been caught in the wild (thank you Matt Warta for finding them). Here is the link to the original page: http://www.cncalc.org/thread-8335-1-1.html
If you're having problems downloading the file, go here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pm9c6tbc0x8z3c2/fxRemote.7z
The download contains the new fxRemote, all flash images for the new OS versions as well as instructions on how to update your calculator. The process may be very similar to the one below (except if you're using a SLIM).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever desired to have add-ins in your fx-9750 GII? Or to have a fractional result instead of a decimal when solving polynomial equations? Of course you have. Now you can have the fx-9860 GII operative system in your fx-9750 GII or fx-9860 G, run add-ins and much more! So, I’m going to explain how to do it. It’s not very hard. If you don’t understand something, post a comment and I’ll make a video, if possible.

So, first of all, you’ll need two simple things:
- A modified flash image of a fx-9860 GII (LINK)
- A program to transfer the flash image to your calculator (LINK)

Be aware that those files are not mine and I don't own any part of them.

Download booth and now I’ll start explaining the process.

HOW TO HACK YOUR fx-9750 GII OS (The process is the same for the fx-9860 G, but not for the Slim) (This is the old procedure. The new one is very similar but be careful with which flash image you choose):
1 – Open pfxRecover_Beta
2 – Plug your calculator to your computer, press F1 (transfer data) and cancel it by pressing AC
3 – Turn off your calculator
4 – With a pencil or something sharp, press the Restart button in the back of your calculator and keep pressing it
5 – While pressing the Restar button, hold F2 + 4 + AC
6 – Release the Restart button and then the rest of the buttons
7 – After releasing, quickly press 9, release and press x (multiplication sign)
8 – Wait until de OS Error screen appears on your calculator. Don’t be scared with that. It’s completely normal.
8.1 – Now, your calculator automatically connects to your computer if it’s correctly plugged
9 – Return to pfxRecover and press Recover
10 – Select the flash image (if you didn’t change anything, it should be named 2_00_0200.fls)
11 – Wait until the update is complete. Don’t worry with your calculator's screen. It will be fine!

After the update check if you have e-Activity and s-Sheet in the Main Menu. If you have, congratulations! You’ve hacked your calculator and you can now run powerful add-ins and have the powerful Math Input!

WARNING!
There is a small risk that this process may break your calculator. So, do it at your risk. I've already hacked some and it never happened.
There may be some minor errors. However, they are nothing special. For example, after adding some add-ins they sometimes don't appear on the Main Menu, but if you go to Storage Memory, they are still there. You'll probably have to initialize your calculator, which means you will have to delete everything.
Special characters may become odd. To solve this problem, just press the Restart button.
And other things that should not be a major problem.

TRANSFER GAMES TO YOUR CALCULTATOR

Here, I will explain how to transfer *g1m/*.g2m files to your calculator. Be aware that it is not the same for add-ins (*.g1a files). The fx-9750GII doesn't support add-ins (unless you hack the calculator's OS). So, lets begin.
To transfer programs do the following:
- run FA-124
- connect the USB cable to your computer and to your calculator
- press F1 in your calculator (Transfer data)
- click the Connect icon in FA-124
- click on the Main icon (calculator icon)
- drag the program to the FA-124 window
- select the program in that window, copy it and paste it in the Calculator window
- cut the communication (Disconnect button)

After this, you should find the game in the program menu.

A NEW VERSION OF SNAKE

I have here a slightly modified version of Muelsaco's Snake. The original one was already posted here.
In this version the game can be paused and it saves your High-score. It also includes a patch to run before playing or if you get an error (if you haven't changed the source code). For more details, please read the README file included in the download.

HANDS TO WORK!

Finally, after a long time without my calculator, I got it. And better than never! Now it runs the fx-9860GII OS ;)
So, I guess there is only one thing to do. Make games!

BAD NEWS

Hi there!
Right now I don't have my calculator, so, I have to develop my games in my friend's calculators during some classes. And so, I can take a loooooong time to complete a game. So, don't think that this blog has no activity. I just don't have time (or possibilities) do make games. But my games are still under development. Check out for further updates.

UNDER DEVELOPMENT

I'm now developing (or thinking about them) 2 more games. They are Bomberman and a sort of a stupid simple game consisting in shooting alien spaceships, but I don't think it will be very exciting. You can't even move your ship!

Anyway, check out for further updates.

SNAKE PACK

I've got here 2 versions of Snakes for fx-9750GII and fx-9860G series. They were not made by me! And I don't remember where I downloaded them. Sorry >.< Download Link

Have fun :)

PONG

Finally, I've uploaded my PONG version for Casio fx-9750GII calculators (and fx-9860G series). There is an English and a Portuguese version. There is also a Readme file that you should really read, because you'll get an error if you don't make a small change. To prevent this, just change your List 26 1st line to 0 (zero). If you do this, you should not have any trouble. If you report any bug or have any sugestion, please mail me: rafael_pokemaster@hotmail.com
