I was reading my TI Graphing calculator book and i was reading the programming section and it said that you can use ASM in Calculator basic and from what i hear that would make the programs a TON faster. The thing is and yes I know this is very newbish but what is ASM and were can i learn how to use this?

Assembly (ASM) is like readable machine code: that is, it is, each cpu instruction is represented as a line of code. TI83 machine code looks something like this:
ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/graph-ti/calc-apps/...sm83ex.z80
there are tons more tutorials, information, and downloads for TI calculators at

I'm not quite sure what you're doing, but try doing this:
go to start
click 'run'
type 'cmd'
click 'ok'
that should bring up a command prompt
navigate to the folder that contains romdump.exe like this:
"cd <full path>"
e.g.
"cd c:\windows\system32\"
if it was in c:\windows\system32\
then type 'romdump' and see what message is displayed.

what do you do for the port when you use a usb
also when i run rom83 on the calc i get a syntax error

I'm not sure - I do not program assembly for TI calculators. Check the forums at ticalc.org, there are more people there who know what they are doing.

Alright well i figured it out but it wasnt worth it. I tried writin asm on the calc but all i got was my ram bein reset about 5 times and i lost my OS. So i think ill start on the comp would somone explain asm on the comp or direct me to a good tut on it?

Computer ASM is no different than calculator assembly (the syntax, anyway). You can actually use the same compiler (assembler, whatever) if it supports z80 architecture and x86.
MASM, NASM, TASM are all names I've heard thrown around in the past. I don't know which one is good or not though, I don't really do straight up assembly.
this is google product, don't know if it's any good, but it's thorough:

you can also play with asm code using fb. It won't assemble complete files, but you can inject little bits of ASM into your code like this
x = 4
ASM
mov eax, [x]
add eax, 2
mov [x], eax
END ASM
I'm not really sure if that will make it crash and burn though.
