Despite the speed gain over ImageViewer, this version of mViewer GX is slower than its HP/TI counterparts, since the calculator doesn't have much RAM for ASM/C programmers (about 128K) and has a slower processor (max overclock speed is 94.3 MHz via OverClui), but it is still pretty impressive and the program was tweaked to make it intuitive regardless of the calculator limitations. Although there was also ImageViewer being available before, mViewer GX takes things some steps further by adding support beyond just non-progressive JPEG and making image viewing much faster. Basically, you convert a document using the online converter linked above, then it generates the HP PPL code for you, along with the image data, so you can visualize your image easily.Īs for the Casio PRIZM version, it is written in native code and was released shortly after the HP Prime version. The touch screen makes it very easy to use on the user side and the program, as expected, is very fast. You can access mViewer GX at (requires TI-Planet account) And that's not all! There are now HP Prime and Casio PRIZM versions too! The HP Prime version, thanks to the extremely powerful HP PPL language and the 400 MHz processor, was easier to pull off in terms of required on-calc code, because the BASIC-like language supports images of any size (although programs that are over 2 MB large will render the calculator unstable) and even stretching, as we can often see in HP games nowadays. Although it will work in any OS that supports Lua, this new document viewer takes advantage of the considerable Lua image speed improvements since OS 3.2, and no, don't be scared: Despite being Lua, the scrolling speed will be much more than the 5 frames per second we often saw in advanced Lua programs. mViewer GX works differently, however, in the way that it is basically an online converter, located on TI-Planet, that will generate files that you can then view on your calculator. Well, here are some good news: A few weeks ago, a Lua version of mViewer, called mViewer GX, has been released! Not only does it support images of various format, but also PDFs. However, since then, Texas Instruments have since started to block Ndless instead of fixing OS bugs, meaning that fewer and fewer people can use mViewer, nPDF and the other Ndless programs. A few years later, Legimet started working on nPDF, a PDF reader for the TI-Nspire. It was later ported to color calculator models as mViewer CX and added support for various image formats, allowing people to store more images on their calculators. A few years ago, Critor from TI-Planet released mViewer, a TI-Nspire image viewer that ran via Ndless. ) Download: (requires Ndless 3.1 r825 or higher, only versions to manage correctly the new bFLT executable Ndless format) Cross-posted from. So do not hesitate to thank the author, support him or encourage him, and even making your own comments or suggestions. A drawback of this solution however, was to have a different image for each page, and therefore constantly have to close and reopen images for a document with several pages.Īlas, Texas Instruments decided for back to school 2013 to permanently block any possibility of installing Ndless on new TI-Nspire CX hardware revision 'J', thus creating an unfair inequality among buyers in regards to their future exams where some of them will still be able to build a real world of documents on their TI-Nspire while the others nothing, causing discontent among those last purchasers who can consider having been deceived after being forbidden features granted to their predecessors and which were often one of their purchase criteria.
