I'm an absolute lover of chiptune but my ears hurt from the grainy noise on this :'D I guess that's just what you get with 1-bit synths, but it won't stop me from listening to this cover on loop!
As a fellow, boundary pushing nerd, I immediately subbed. I was bobbing my head to this so hard. Absolutely amazing. Very well done and thank you for the Bop. ❤️
Just stumbled upon this, this should have much more views! Great stuff and just amazing what can be done by this little Z80 powered calculator and ASM code!
THAT COVER WAS INSANE!!!!! Thank you to help me to understand what actualy is SID and this others things! i'm new on the chiptune universe, and want to be a chiptune creator haha, i'm learning about LSDJ, Nanoloop, LGPT, Milkytracker, and now Commodore 64 and the Ti 82! Thank you again man, and don't stop this amazing contents!!!
@@tubesockor Thank you!! haha, i was searching for one, and leave with 20 diferent options of "chip emulator trackers" i'm thinking in just download a lot of vstis for any chip sound i want to use, and then when i have the money, invest in a clockwork pi, to emulate the LSDJ, nanoloop and etc... I subscribed in your channel, you made a lot of cool contents! thank you again man o/ peace 😁
No you are right, CrASH is the most common shell. But it only works for ROM versions above 15.0 or so. This calc is 8.0, so I had to take the standard CrASH, disassemble it and figure out how to modify to make it run on my TI :)
Hey man! Do you mind if I use an image or a snippet of this video as an overlay in an interview I'm making for my job? The person we're interviewing is talking about this specific calculator and this would be perfect to use as an overlay. We're not making any money using it, it just fits well with the video. Thank you in advance!
There is a way to get sound out of a ti-82 without any hacks/mods special software or plugging it into anything. It’s not GOOD sound or anything like this though.
Not sure what you mean here, the only way to get audio out is to run assembly language hacks like HoustonTracker or similar. Maybe thinking another calculator?
@@tubesockor It's not audio out, it's sound. I guess it could be considered "responsive sound"? I'm not an engineer lol. I haven't owned a Ti-82 in a looong time, but it's a simple trick. All you need is the calculator itself, an installed game and an open monitor (speaker, not screen). I like to use breakout or something with a lot of quick movement, not something text based. Tetris would probably work! So load up the game, turn on the speaker, volume up, put the calculator right up against the speaker, and you should get the sound of most of your actions and button presses coming through the speaker! If I remember correctly, it's just one tone of bleep, so yeah, very primitive, but it's a funny trick!! lol
You, my good man, are a true Maestro! Well explained and beautifully realized! Bravo! I'm utterly astonished by what's possible with these old calculators.
Alive and kicking, thanks! :) But yes, it's been a while since last video. Will try to make up for it in the future :) For more details about P.I. , there is some text written in the HoustonTracker manual for example.

HoustonTracker2 sounds awesome and I have a TI-82, so I could technically make chiptunes in school if I wanted, though HoustonTracker2 looks a bit hard to use to me. Awesome music by the way, PWM is cool.
Thanks! Yes, you just need a special cable to connect to your computer and then transfer the app. But there are many different TI-82 models, so important to check the exact version.
Absolute amazing!! An honest question I need to know the answer to: This vs a TE Pocket Operator? I love music and I love calculators, this is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen!
This is also basically how programmers made music on the zx spectrum. Like most of the ti calculators, it has a z80 processor, but no dedicated sound chip. At least the zx spectrum has a built-in speaker already lol.
Should also be mentioned that you shouldn't hook this up directly to a bare speaker since you'll destroy the serial port trying to drive such a low impedance load (best to plug it into amplified speakers with line in impedance >1kOhm). I destroyed my first casio calc's serial port because of that mistake many years ago (for just simple beep boops) Otherwise awesome project!
I used a regular TI Silverlink USB cable. Haven't tried it myself but there seems to be a project "serial2ti83" on Github that emulates a Graylink using only an Arduino Uno and a jack connector. ROM 18 should work just fine, it is one of the common ones.
Hey! Nice video! I was wondering if there was a download for the track, if possible. I want to impress my school at our music night by playing this on my (hidden) 84+. It's fine if you can't provide a download for Warhawk, if you five some tips for working with HT2, I can probably make my own cover of New Frontier for myself.
Thanks! No download available, but please make a cover of New Frontier, great song! Best way to learn a tracker like this actually to make a cover of something, I think.
