That's correct. There are some shells for 86, but just about everybody uses NoStub (not sure how it works). There would be a big advantage on that version because there's so much RAM, the full version is all we really need to develop.

The TI-85 should be right on par with where the TI-82 sits memory wise after your shell is loaded, give or take a few bits and bytes.

Do nostub programs on the 86 have the size limit like the 83+ has?

I dunno. I guess it require more RAM to run them than with a shell. On the 83+ for example Galaxian will require 4000 bytes of ram to run from homescreen (yes it run from homescreen, I tried with version 1.0 on OS 1.12,1.13 and 1.14) and from Ion it requires 50 bytes of RAM

The 86 really is a great machine, it's suprising there's not more development on that model. I'm not sure of how addressing would work if a prog got over 64KB tough. I guess that's never happened before.

[edit]

Or maybe it has 24-bit addressing? :confused:

I think it uses seperate Ram pages like the 83+ does with archive.
