The real trick would be making a color TI-83 with a gameboy screen.

Yah this hack could have been cooler maybe figure out a way to get the gameboy to emulate some of the calculator functions.
Maybe load gameboy basic on a super cart yes someone made a basic interpreter for the game boy.

Heck they even have c tools for it.

unless they got the stuff the teacher was saying the first time and are waiting for everyone else to catch up for the 15th time. math class was generally nap time for me since I didn’t have any toys to hack back then.

This is kind of sad… someone really interested in hacking/engineering would be paying attention in math class.

Yes they are both z80, but as far as I know the gameboy has a modified z80, which would mean that you could not produce binaries that would work on both devices.

What’s funny… isn’t the ti-83 a z80 device like the gameboy? there could have been a more royal hack then this case mod.

I still don’t understand why they bother spending the money and time teaching kids to use TI calcs.
My highschool’s grade 10 class(required math class for graduation) had a heavy emphasis on teaching us how to do basic things (such as find a x intercept), so really whats the point?

Most will never use them ever again, and if so, end up relearning since they forgot.

This is a good hack though for the people who don’t want to sit and wait while others struggle figuring out how to input a function.

I use to put TI-89 in case of TI-83, some button memorization but great help on exams. too bad that in college only TI-30 allowed :(

Well,in fact,if u have a working TI-83 u could just install the a software and run a TI version of super mario or any game u’d want,without breaking it apart so it’s still working as a math calculator and if memory is a concern for you,just solder a flash sd card to the memory connectors inside your TI and you’ll have up to waht now..8gig of gameboy thing? and so on,they make fun chat system too to talk by a tiny wire to everyone connected to it ^^

I wanna be in whatever math class he’s in where I can sit back, relax, and play some super mario land 2.
