When I saw the calculator in question I was thinking "there's no way that's 20 years old; it looks just like the ones they sell today!" not remembering that TI has been selling the same models of calculators for decades, all at the same price!
It is possible to change the text speed in-game from the options menu which will net you about 16 frames faster text. Holding B button as well would speed the text up to 10 speed. Very impressed to see this running from 2005.
Imagine you have a friend that wants to play the game but dosent want to buy the stuff or they cant and u have it and they have the calculator and the emulating printer thing and they see this vid
The battle isnt scripted. From what I know in Pokemon Yellow its common to loose to your rival. I know from experience. So i'm guessing its the same here in red. Although im not sure since I dont play red and blue that often. If you loose to your rival in either game you dont black out but rather just continue if the battle never happened. I mean just spam growl and you can see for yourself what im talking about.
The TI-89 was a dope calculator. I remember buying one thinking I was gonna stop making programs on my TI-83 but nothing changed. I rarely made anything on the 89. I was more drawn to the simplified features.
no it wasn't it was a glitchy buggy mess but as long as you dont run it to them the game doesn't break missing number Pokemon is one them you can battle safari zone Pokemon outside of the safari zone at the same exact town where you find the missing number pokemon and where you preform the the infinite item glitch it was buggy but still a good game
@ericmoeller3634 it was a buggy mess when you use the worst way to run it and use the most specific ways. Not to mention, even if it was a glitchy mess, then it's still great, considering it's a full map with multiple ways for the outcome of options to be
The earlier TI 'graphlink' software worked pretty well. It was very basic and designed to originally run on Windows 3.1 but it had an editor, screen capture, file explorer. They had an older parallel cable too. Then they made TI-Connect and I never had consistent connections. Didn't matter what computer I used it just worked when it wanted to work.
Wow, this calculator has the same CPU as used in the Sega Genesis. That implies that assuming this emulator is written in 68000 assembly, it should be able to run on a Genesis with some modification.
Man, if only I would have known how to do this back then! I remember a friend of mine taking the shell of a gameboy and installing everything into a calculator shell, it was jank but it worked, alright I honestly like this much more. Using the actual calculator processor, screen, buttons, that’s pretty cool. Next you should try to install Linux on it
in the mid 90s, I could Program Blackjack on my TI-81 or eventually TI-82, by memory, in about 25 min... Never did get a Transfer cable for the 82... Had to Program everything I wanted Manually on that Too... New Sub: Dryden, Mich.
Gen 1 has a glitch where moves that have perfect accuracy still have a chance of missing. The games roll between 1-256, and if it hits 256 it counts as a miss. You should try going through the first generation and see where it all came from. There's a lot of bad coding like that, though a lot of it can be abused in your favour.
@@trendead Yellow was my first video game, and I still have a fantastic time going back to it every now and again. Part of that is nostalgia, but part of it is also how simplified and stripped-down the generation is compared to all the others. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy a lot of the features and aspects that later gens added in, but it's very refreshing to have something simple to understand and take advantage of. It's even more enjoyable to me now since I've been working on my own game, so seeing how they made everything work is fascinating
Tbh I didn’t know this was a glitch. For years I thought a move with 100 accuracy can still fail. I thought moves that only say “without fail” or “never misses” would always hit.
@@Squintis Even those moves are subject to the glitch. As far as I remember, they programmed combat so it would check if the randomly generated number is "less than 256" instead of "less than or equal to 256"
You can in fact lose in the first battle with your rival. The outcome of this battle and the one on your way to victory road early on are actually used in Pokémon yellow to determine what his eevee will evolve into. If you win both, it will evolve into Jolteon, if you lose both, it will evolve into Vaporeon, and if you win 1, it will evolve into Flareon. Skipping the second battle counts as a loss in terms of eevee’s evolution.
"Most people haven't played either", I would say that is a very generational statement my man. Gen 1 (Red, Green, Blue, and yellow) has a combined total of over 45 million copies sold which is the highest still of any generation mainline game. Even if you take away yellow, Pokemon Red, Green, and Blue still is the highest units sold at 31 million. Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet are both in the 26 million-ish units sold so not super far off. Cool video btw, I love how ridiculous this is to see a Graphing Calculator play a Pokemon Game. My TI-83 barely could handle things dumbed down Super Mario Bros or top down shooters like Phoenix (there were a few versions).
U should play the game way more until u get a Pokemon that can use psychic attack, it always slowed down the og games back in the days and i'm really wondering if the emulator crashes or not :D
I thought I was the only person in the world who knows about the existence of Pokemon Lugia's Ocean. Also >my face when I realize "A 20 Year Old Calculator" doesn't mean "Calculator from the 80's"
Wait a minute. If I'm not mistaken the way that pokémon Red calculates percentages it's all based on the CPU. Did he unintentionally find an OP way to play pokémon Red where you always get critical hits?
you got to pick squirtle in the begining so by the time you get to the idigo plateu he will be well over level 50 and wreck house on all the fire pokemon in the end game battles
When I saw the calculator in question I was thinking "there's no way that's 20 years old; it looks just like the ones they sell today!" not remembering that TI has been selling the same models of calculators for decades, all at the same price!
This one was introduced in 2004 and they still sell the exact same model.
Damn, if I had this on my calculator in school I would be failing 24/7 💀
Replace the quartz clock and slap a cooler on that thing.

That bike shop instant text glitch would be absolutely necessary for any full playthrough of this lmao
Did you try going into the game options and setting text speed to fast, and turning battle animations off? I'm wondering if that would help.
Imagine you have a friend that wants to play the game but dosent want to buy the stuff or they cant and u have it and they have the calculator and the emulating printer thing and they see this vid
Never seen so many critical hits
That’s it, I’m investing in Texas Instruments
i still remember when my mom took me to get my ti-89 titanium
got a voyage 200 a few years later
I like that youtube recommends me videos like this, very interesting!
I have done this to my TI-89 Titanium too! Btw, if you hold down 2nd, then the text will be a little faster.

That first miss you got is commonly known as a "gen1 miss", which is 1/256 to happen due to a coding error in gen1 only.
That Lucia’s ocean is a really rare rom Xd
its Lugia's not Lucia's XD

the 84 plus CE gameboy emulator works so much better lol
To be fair it came out 11 years later.
@@trendead very true

Yeah, I figured out that I just had to plug and unplug it 50 times until it eventually worked.
Delicious work

I believe it's also the same CPU in the original 1984 Macintosh Computer.
time to steal a calculator from my math class 😎

So... running a game that came out 8 years before this calculator? 😅
It's impressive because it's a calculator and the game is not running natively but being interpreted by an emulator.
The fight is not scripted, you can loose, and crit hits in gen 1 are based on speed.
You can do this on the TI-84+ SE series. The resolution is lower, but I think it's a better experience overall IIRC.
Really impressive that ut us possibke to begin with

I did much the same with my Casio. I programmed all sorts of games on it. I actually still have it and use that calculator at least once a week.
The first battle is not scripted. You can absolutely lose. If you check the PC in your room you can withdraw a potion to ensure victory.
no, the battle is not scripted, you can loose it.
Back in the day i had the Ti-92 and played the game boy version of tetris on it and it ran fine.

Thank you for letting me know. I hadn't played an official Pokemon game in years before this vid.

Pokémon Silver was the best Gameboy cartridge of the 2001
This is so cool omg
Same mcu as the gameboy did this years ago
Can you turn text speed on fast in settings? As well as disabling battle animations?
I tried changing the text speed and it was running at the same speed, but good shout on the battle animations.
@@trendead awesome. I used to play gbc games on my ti 84 ce, always wondered if using the link cable would be possible
Maybe we could run it on a coffee maker? Anyway, cool video. Thanks.

Very interesting.
On my old Ti89 (not titanium), Super Mario Land works perfectly at full speed, also have Gradius and Bomberman 😄
There's a ton of pretty good games that run on the original TI-89.
@@trendead Yes and still have it and working, about 20 years 😄
Am surprised it’s that slow since the M68000 cpu is 16bit at 4 times the speed of the old dmg gameboy.
I think it's similar to how some laptops struggle to run PS3 games well while having much better specifications on paper.
Impressive
You can also emulate the gameboy on the Palm Pilot and many other devices.
The palm pilot is older, and it runs better on there.
I have a couple of Palms. But I tested it on my Palm Vx.
So theirs a chance for this on the flipper zero?
Apparently they have around a 80mhz CPU and enough storage. If someone wrote an emulator or ported the game it should be possible.

Yeah I agree, it was just a statement based on my YT analytics. It was extremely popular with kids then.
@@trendead ah fair enough, that makes sense
question is, does it save? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The emulator has a quick save feature actually.
In pokemon Yellow your win loss ratio with your rival change how his Pokemon evolves.
What?
Yeah, you can lose the first fight.
No way 😂
U should play the game way more until u get a Pokemon that can use psychic attack, it always slowed down the og games back in the days and i'm really wondering if the emulator crashes or not :D

Wait a minute. If I'm not mistaken the way that pokémon Red calculates percentages it's all based on the CPU. Did he unintentionally find an OP way to play pokémon Red where you always get critical hits?
I'm just wondering is there a beefier calculator to mod that could run it smoother?
Even a new version of that one must be improved
There are newer calculators like TI-84 Plus CE that can run it with no problems.
You can overclock it 👹
But can it run doom?
It can, in fact run Doom.
@@trendead swear on the Krabs
is not scripted, you can lose
This is somehow the most Boomer gen z kid On the platform
yes you can lose the first fight i was like 151 lol
I played mario on my ti 84 ran a lot better
How much did the battery drain playing that game?
Not at all, batteries on the TI-89 last for months
hows the batterylife?
I remember when I actively used it, few months to almost a year.
you got to pick squirtle in the begining so by the time you get to the idigo plateu he will be well over level 50 and wreck house on all the fire pokemon in the end game battles
