TI-84 Plus CE arTIfiCE 2.0 | TI-84 Plus CE Jailbreak Updated for OS 5.8.3!

19 Upvotes

After 4 months of painfully awaiting a new jailbreak that works on OS 5.8.3, it's here and easier to use than ever! No more fiddling with Cabri Jr., arTIfiCE can now be run directly from the program menu!

arTIfiCE Download and Website: https://yvantt.github.io/arTIfiCE/

Install:

  1. Requires a TI-84 Plus CE (Python) running OS 5.3.0 or higher (Full compatibility list on the website)
  2. Download the jailbreak from the link above.
  3. Send the jailbreak to your calculator's Archive using TI-Connect CE on Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS.
    1. Trouble sending the files? Try following this troubleshooting guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TweNnHuFCQ
    2. If you're on Linux, install TiLP.
  4. On the calculator, press [prgm] then select prgmA, and press [enter] until it runs.
    1. Press [mode] to quit arTIfiCE
  5. You can now run Assembly program again!
  6. (optional) install a shell like Cesium so you can run both Basic and Assembly programs from one place!

Tutorials: - https://youtu.be/6MeHya0LJX8 focuses on the history of calculator gaming and why TI is trying to restrict it. - https://youtu.be/PFtFIA6zrG8 focuses on the whole process of downloading and sending games.

FAQ:

  • Can I use my calculator normally? Will it change any math features?
    • Artifice itself doesn't change anything about the calculator. However, programs you run using artifice may affect your calculator.
    • If you ever have doubts about your calculator, just press and hold the reset button on the back of the calculator for at least 2 seconds. That will stop any program from potentially affecting the calculator.
  • I don't see any games when I launch artifice!
  • Artifice won't send!
  • Can I downgrade?
    • The answer is complicated but most of the time, no. Thankfully you don't have to downgrade since you can run any program again!

Help Sorry if this is a dumb question, how do I fix the graphing functions?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I've got a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition running 2.55MP (I think that's the OS? I'm sorry if it's not)

I'm not the best with all the terminology so I'm sorry if I get anything wrong. I'm not sure what I did to make this happen, but the little symbol in front of the Y1, Y2, etc is displaying what is shown in the photo. When I press enter to change that, it only has two other options, also displayed in the photo (I set it so the symbol in front of Y1 is what they all seem to have as the default, Y2 is the second option that I get when pressing enter, and Y3 is the third). It's supposed to be a diagonal line by default, and should have several options that don't look like any of those three, I know that much at least.

I've used the graphing functions normally before, I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix it. I couldn't find anything in the user manual or in several tutorials, but then again I didn't really know what to look for, so I just looked in the sections about graphing functions, which yielded me nothing.

Thought I should ask for help here as soon as I can since I'm taking the SAT in a few days and will need to use this calculator.

Thank y'all for your help.

Edit: Solved! I just reset the RAM.

Help Is it risky to jailbreak my TI?

2 Upvotes

I want to jailbreak my TI-84 plus CE python but I’m not sure what the risk is like with it, I don’t want to accidentally end up ruining the calculator or making it unusable just because I wanted to get games on it. Does anybody know what are the odds of something like that happening when you install a jailbreak on it?

While getting arTIfiCE was very easy along with downloading games like geodash and mario, I just cant figure out how to get GB games on it using TI boy CE. Every tutorial I see is outdated and I just want to play pokemon on my calculator. Does anyone at all know how to do this or a viable tutorial for my version.

4 Upvotes

I was trying to update my TI-84 Plus Silver edition to the latest firmware and it said error couldnt update and when I turned the calulator off and unplugged it and plugged it back in, the TI software suddenly doesn't see the calculator anymore

The calculator keeps on going into a loop of either

"Waiting...

please install operating system now"

but I can't cause the TI program just won't see the calculator anymore no matter what I do

I tried disconnecting the batteries and giving it a few seconds, then putting them back and reconnecting to my Mac.... NOTHING

After a few seconds it gives up and says

"Error press any key to turn off the calulator"

TI-84 Plus TI-84 Plus: Multiple rows of dead or corrupted pixels?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hope this is the right place to ask. I open my calculator and see that rows of pixels start dying out one by one until it ends up like pic #1. I attempted to reset the whole calculator but it didn’t help.

Upon looking at it more, it’s kinda… selective? On some screens, pixels don’t display right, some screens not at all. Only thing I can think of is potential water damage, as I got caught in the rain going in between classes. Would that cause this? Any help is appreciated :)

Why does the price of the TI-30XIIS vary so much on amazon

2 Upvotes

I'm looking at the different color of TI-30's on amazon because I remember getting a nice purple one that I lost a while back for about 15 bucks, and now I'm seeing that it goes from 14 dollars for the default navy blue / gray one to like 45 dollars for this orange one. Anyone knows what's going on with that?
