Re: Random numbers
Ok, here's my find. The number of valid 'random' digits depends on the number of SEEDed digits after the decimal point. With 1 digit (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 ...) the 2nd to 12th digit are the same with the first RAN. With 2 digits (0.11, 0.12, 0.13 ...) then3rd to 12th digit are the same. And so on. Getting ...

Re: Random numbers
I've saved machine state several times after "0 SEED"ing. Everytime the memory 0x016A to 0x0179 contains 01 A8 02 00 00 00 00 00 70 9C E9 04 00 00 00 00 I've saved and checked this 4 times These adresses seem plausible as after the first RAN they contain 53 16 7C 03 00 00 00 00 7F 3F 8D 0...

Purge/Rename State
In setup, I can Load and Save states und Load Clear State.
A 'Purge State' and 'Delete State' menu entry would be fine.
Right now this must be done via USB-connection on the computer.

Re: Random numbers
Look for occurrences of random_number_low and random_number_high in core_globals.cc (definition) and core_math2.cc (where they are used, in the math_random() function), or also in core_commands2.cc (where they are set, in the docmd_seed() function). To help find those variables without knowing thei...

Re: Random numbers
Yes, but if you've set the seed but haven't generated any random numbers from it, it should provide a clue about the internal value (15 digit number) generated from the parameter of SEED. As I understand it, that internal value isn't generated by anything resembling a secure hash function, and shou...

Serial port
On the PCB are hole for a serial port (TX/RX/GND).
I'm pretty sure this is or was for development reasons and/or installing a boot loader.
Anyone tried this out, soldering pins and connecting with a PC?

Re: Random numbers
Bug? It uses the same algorithm as the real HP-42S, which is the same as the RPL calculators, except for using a different starting seed after Memory Clear. I implemented this in 2.0.7 (DM42 3.1); earlier versions used the RNG from the HP-41C applications book: r[n+1] = frac(r[n]*9821+0.211327). Th...

Character set for 400x240?
Hi, is there any character (digits) generator for graphics mode?
