The way you talk about ideas is so interesting to me, you've def got me reinterested in learning some hardware maintenance that I felt too intimidated by. Enjoy seeing you share your thought process the most.

Technology is truly fascinating. if it's a computer or if it's a device that has a port, a processor and a screen, it's probably programmable. if it doesn't have a port, it will have a port.

"Im a not smiley dude" Me too little calculator buddy.. me too...

Seeing him casually disregarding the kookaburras is the most Australian thing I’ve ever seen

Enough buttons on that calculator to run a port of Steel Battalion methinks

I have a project idea: Put an Famicom inside an NES shell and make the disc system fit in the Cartridge slot.

"I'm kinda a little bit into retro video games" said James as the camera panned thru a room full of retro video games, also great video as usual

definitely bringing this math class tomorrow

6:55 i've played this one, and sometimes in world generation a single block in the bedrock wouldn't spawn, and if you fell down you would crash the game, brick the calculator, and would have to take the battery out to reset the calculator.

"This is Minecraft!" "James, this is the 9th time this video you've shown Minecraft"

Watching this video made me feel nostalgic for the FZERO type port on this calculator back in high school. It was awesome, minus the $200 my parents had to spend to buy new one that I only used to play games.

Fun stuff! There are awsome communities for those calcs. I bought a ti-84 plus ce for 25 CAD at the start of last year and someone made a full gameboy and gbc emulator for it. I probably got around 50h of tetris gameplay during math class. Shout out to the cemetech forums

Bruh I didn’t know this was a James channel video when I clicked on it I’m so happy

The TI-83 plus is the best computer ever made.

“I better not see any of you using your phone during class!” *me in the back of the room on the high seat*

if i had this at school, i wouldn't do sh!t but playing minecraft! i love your chaotic energy so much, and i agree with you, that beta game is the most complete lol. who knows that having such a calculator could be so cool to game around XD

He whipped out the minecraft and i was like "wow he has the playstation edition" then paused to get a good look and was like "playstation VITA edition?!" Woooow.

James Mate, you have the genuine opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. Rebuild/fix up a Zune.

I was about to start playing Minecraft, and now I'm watching a Minecraft video!

That actually looks enjoyable for when you have nothing to do

Funny how Minecraft on a TI just ends up looking like Terraria, with the 5th game actually doing the line-of-sight thing

great work as always james 👍

this wil make a great addition to my school calculator

I had a TI-83 back in the day and wish I still had one now!

Minecraft 84+ really got the short end of the stick in this video being put after one of the best TI-Minecrafts lol

James, when are you going to do an episode about your silver button??? Less than a year and already 150k subs. You doing good, mate!

I wrote lots of stuff for 83+ back in the day (a, but only in Basic. I'm impressed by the ones that were in Basic- memory management and apps slowing down was a huge issue on those things!

God I remember running MirageOS on my 84 Plus Silver. Had plenty of funny little games in there, even Lotus Turbo Challenge, which was my favorite. Good times.

These all remind me of early PC games. Even all the hoops you had to jump through just to get them to run is like something from a Commodore 64.

Kookaburra reminds me of peacocks. "Eeeeeyah! Eeeeeeyah! Eeeeeeeyah!"

Would love to see your different takes on the Phoenix game series for MirageOS. They were such fun games that I used to challenge myself to not single hit a whole game and all that stuff. My friend and I made a full on drag racing game for the 83 and 84 with engine building and animated racing on the graphing screen. No asm, all basic code

Likely the issue you were having was just that you either have to explicitly tell TI connect to put the program in the RAM and not flash memory, or to unarchive it on the calculator in the memory menu. Maybe you didn't need any of that extra software except grammer
