You might as well start using assembly at that point. PeeknPoke BASIC users who like it are in denial or just don't know better.

I am surprised at the time score for TI extended BASIC. He also says that we have 15K for an unexpanded TI

TI Extended BASIC is so underrated outside the TI community that it angers me. I think it's one of the best and most complete BASIC's out there.

I love my TIs, but this is convoluted. So If the first 16K is shared with the video ram, the longer the BASIC program it is, the less video RAM is available, which in theory, would make colors and sprites to start disappearing. The above example isn't a true representation of the maximum allowed lines in BASIC. You are using an array, which uses much less memory than an actual line of BASIC could. You are counting how many 'A's can be created dynamically until memory is full. Anyhow, this has left me with a splitting headache, and finds me wondering how such a system exists without it being made more of a deal about back in the day.

So now one knows precisely how much RAM is available to BASIC once the 32K expansion is placed on?

Thanks. That is some seriously complicated stuff...

So the total RAM would be 48K right?

When you add the 32K expansion, do you have a total of 32K available or 16+32, adding on top of the included memory? Does that mean when calling the top RAM, is it changed?

That's very impressive Greg!!

Thank you!

I don't see any books on the hexbus site

TI Extended Basic is one of the best interpretations out there.

Thanks Greg. So my 32K is compatible after all. I guess I'll wait and get a TiPI. In the meantime, I tried the tape recorder and it works fine after all these years!

Do you have a direct link for it? The ones I see are out of stock? Also can you manage to send them from within the EU? Thanks.

Ok, Will do. Do you think my 32K expansion that I linked above is compatible? Arcadeshopper would probably know for sure.

I live in Greece. I don't think there are many TI users here to do it for me.

This is the one I ordered, I don't think it has a power connector. https://ibb.co/wdVgRvj

But does it require a special type of 32K expansion? How can I know If it is compatible with mine?

The Tipi since very complicated.

I can't get a compiler in cartridge form from the FianlGrom?

Do you have any examples of what is required to save to a Cellphone? That would really help.

How would I compile a TI Extended Basic program. The FinalGrom would be running TI Extended Basic, so how do I use a compiler, unless I use a tape recorder?

I'm in the EU, I bought it from the EU, it's a 32K side cart. I'd love to buy from you, but taxes would be killer. I haven't received it yet. My kids are looking at me as If I'm a mad man when I just took out the tape recorder for the TI... I last used it in 89, or there abouts. I feel like it's unreal.

I have a 32K expansion. But ideally I would use TI Extended BASIC, so I guess short of getting a TiPI, my tape recorder is the way to go. Who would have guessed my cheapest bought machine in the 80's seems to be the most expensive to use as intended today. I really never thought I'd take out my TI cassette recorder again since the 80s.

Thanks! I guess that takes out the option of using extended basic and saving to MINIMEM
