My teacher caught me playing games on my 83 + and cleared all its memory and ram :img01: !! I came home to put all the games back on from the weekly backup i do and when i relopaded everything, under apps, mirages os wasnt listed. SO i redownloaded it from like 4 or 5 sites only for the same result
what do i do? :dollar:

So you tried sending mirage to your calc separately? What errors did it throw, if any?

Also, you may want to try using ION until you can get MOS working again. And yes, I have experienced teachers like that before.

Is the calc school property?

If so, then she/he has all right to do that.

But if not, that's messed up. That's personal property, and possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Regardless of whether or not that calc is school property a teacher can still reset the memory if a student is doing something he's not supposed to be doing. Well, I'm not sure if it's actually a right but they do do it so just make yourself more aware next time so that doesn't happen to you again.

My best suggestion is as soon as you get MOS reinstalled you enable the Memory Menu locking option. It'll be a pain for you to delete things, but it's worth it.

regardless of whether or not it is school property and when you wwere playing it, your teacher doesn't have the right to commit such a heinous act :) . Since, as most teachers claim, the classroom is under the jurisdiction of his/her autocracy, he/she can impose monarchial rights and posess the calc for enough to clear the mem and give it back to you. that, technically, is stealing, under my legal definitions.

Well, she's not taking your games, she's deleting them so that can't possibly be stealing. How do you consider gaming from teacher's point of view or if you were a teacher and your students were playing games? This certainly varies from teacher to teacher, some are really anal about that and others can care less about what you do, if you don't learn anything its your own problem. If your much into games then you'll have to adapt to each teacher so that they don't do anything you don't want them to.

Edit
I believe I have seen an ASM program that turns off your RAM reset and makes it do absolutely nothing, although it does fake it. I actually forgot WHERE I've seen this nifty little program, maybe on ticalc.org, maybe on some random little site, maybe even in a dream (you never know...)

Has anyone else seen this?

Of course, all of these precautions fail when the teacher does a hard reset, or resends the OS.

Resending the OS would take far too long for a teacher to do efficiently. And when you enter school, you do lose some of your rights, I'd say it's for most people's own good.

The best thing is a prog i found on a site (i cant remember) that makes it when a full reset is attempted then the calc created an invisible image of itself in itself and presents a calc that looks like it is cleared... the only way to get it back is to send a password from your computer to your calc, and it restores it.
