Why is my TI-84 not allowing me to use it's Menu feature?

Forum Attachments

Summary:

For some reason, half the time Programs I use use the Menu( function, it just fails with a Label error, even when the label IS defined!!!! I have checked, and it is supposed to also goto the label if it is after the call, right? I installed DoorsCS and it seams to be happening right before I ran DoorsCS. Please tell me how I can fix this. The same thing happens with randInt, but I found out somehow the seed was cleared, and passing a new one to the rand varriable worked. Please help!!!! - tommy3244

Search "cracker". Programs that used to work break on the menu function.

Archive everything and then force a RAM clear. Sometimes you can get random errors like that, and they persist until you RAM clear.

i looked at the file. i dont know how it got errors, all i can think of is that you left unclosed labels, you can have memory leaks

Well, Lol the calc is psychic. I have not checked the program yet, but when i was putting all the programs in the archive, I found one called Pokemon2 or something. I must have installed it when I was trying to install Pokemon Battle Simulator. When I tried to archive it, it gave me a undefined error. When I tried (and I think successfully did) delete it, my calculator turned white, back to the memory screen, white, and showed the default reset ram screen. Hapily, I think I successfully moved all my programs to the archive. Does anyone know anything about that? t might have had lowercase letters, it might not have. I don't remember. Thanks!!!!

Odd. When I opened DoorsCS it said my calc has crashed or reset. I also reset the RAM again after what must have been a crash. The Menu( still does not work. :-(. Any other suggestions? I allready tried uninstalling DoorsCS. Should I try to uninstall it THAN clear the RAM? Thanks!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE FOLLOWS:

I might have specified this in the summary/description of the thread, but Menu( only does not work HALF the time. I can still play Cracker, but I am unable to use the Load/Save functions of the game because of the label error. I am still clueless to what the issue could be. I am fairly sure this is the first one documented of it's kind. Please help. Thanks!

Probably Unimportant Edit:

I have a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Calculator. I am not sure if this makes very much of a difference, but the difference in the OS may be substantial. Thanks!!!!

What OS version are you running?
Hit [2nd] + [Mem] + [1], it should say something like 2.40 or 2.55

Roguebantha 07 Dec 2012 02:10

My very personal opinion is that this is probably a problem with the program and not your calculator.

tommy3244 07 Dec 2012 12:48

The OS version I think, because it did not say OS anywhere, is 2.55mp or somthing

Boba Foxx (guest) 07 Dec 2012 13:38

Exactly what error are you getting? Is it "Syntax", "Memory", "Label", or something else entirely?
Also, if you could post the line(s) that you get error on, that would help too.
I dropped my calculator this morning, and now the left half of the screen doesn't work, so I might not be testing or writing any actual code for a while.

Roguebantha 07 Dec 2012 16:00

Thaaat sucks. :/

He says that the error is a lable error at the top. Oh, here's an idea, at the beginning of the program, type in Goto "Lbl" and replace Lbl with whatever label the load and save go to.

EDIT:
I just glanced at the code and it SHOULD work fine, I didn't see any glaring errors. Still try my above instruction and see what happens. You may want to try redownloading the game.

On the plus side, I now have an excuse to buy the 84-C when it comes out. I'll probably start tampering with it immediately.
On the other hand, you may want to try downloading another program or game that has the menu command in it, and then try running it on your calculator to see if it works If it doesn't, and it's a game that is known to work, then the problem rests with your calculator :(
