Texas Instruments 83+ and 84+

includes SE models

Operating Systems (Zilog Z80)

83plus Windows 95

Aegis Operating System

Has “36 parts” such as programs/apps and pictures. Newer than most of the OSes on this list, being made in 2012.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/450/45033.html

AlphaCS

It is password protected and very secure

A fast and small little GUI for program launching. This requires zStart for launching, however.

https://www.cemetech.net/downloads/files/1038/x1038

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/457/45745.html

Anova

An alpha build of a windows-inspired shell with some programs on the front. Looks at least a bit interesting due to the desktop icon integration.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/417/41786.html

Aperate

An OS emulator with resizable windows, command prompt, program manager, and multitasking. A bit advanced for these calculators.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/406/40632.html

Apple Pro 2

All information is in the supplied .txt file. Appears to be a password protected program to run IONs and such.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/125/12578.html

ATICOS 17

Pretty cool looking OS with a bunch of fancy features included. Dutch/English bilingual release. Has networking?

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/365/36539.html

Aunix Beta

A clone of a basic Unix shell. Functionality unknown.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/236/23600.html

AxeSh

A shell that combines support for both axe sources and axe execs, complete with compilation. Looks quite feature filled, with a simple gut practical interface.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/450/45030.html

BAOS

which is a replacement OS for TI-8x Plus calculators

An assembly-based operating system with the ability to run files, support libraries, and some more relatively simple functions. Includes programs.

http://bzc.sourceforge.net/baos.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/398/39863.html

Bash

A Linux clone that has Windows file conventions for some reason.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/254/25450.html

Black Eagle Shell GUIs

Various GUIs for the “Black Eagle Shell”. They all look a bit interesting, and the fact that it’s a pack of 4 makes this stand out somewhat.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/361/36125.html

BURNiNATOR

A BASIC shell with a prank program and “three menus”.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/395/39599.html

Calc 1999

Another Windows ripoff that apparently sucks and is very broken.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/339/33992.html

Calcbox

A fluxbox-inspired shell with a cursor and menus. Probably looks very esoteric.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/410/41084.html

CalcMac

A simple clone for the TI-83, but it may also work on the TI-84?

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/428/42809.html

CalcOS

Reminds me of a ticket machine or television news station for some reason. BASIC shell.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/302/30265.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/349/34976.html (version, 2 interfaces)

ChaOS 2005 Advanced

Simple menus, run apps, the standard fare…

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/376/37646.html

Console emulation (potential)

Whether these emulators support operating systems for these consoles is unknown; it must be looked into further. Consoles without meaningful OSes are not included.

Nintendo Game Boy (no color) – Ti-Boy SE Beta 0.2.05

Core 1.0

By including file transfer and a reminder program, this OS has managed to stand out.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/410/41087.html

Cos 1 Standard

Has a calendar, and password protection… and a GUI!

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/93/9364.html

CrunchyOS 0.6

Crunchy doesn't contain it internally as other shells do

May not work on new 83s or 84s, due to an LCD driver code issue. Otherwise, a simple shell for viewing programs in a list, as long as they have a shell header.

https://www.tiwizard.com/downloads/crunchy-os/

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/325/32507.html

CSX (TI-83+ only?)

because CSX, pongOS, etc was made for the TI-83+

A command interpreter that allows uploading of files from PC. Doesn’t seem to do much else.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/349/34973.html

https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4937&start=0

Cygnus A & B

Two variants of this OS, with one being like DOS, and the other being like your typical icon-less Windows clone.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/110/11086.html

Delta OS Alpha 5.1

Looks kind of cool, and is apparently faster than Black Eagle.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/410/41077.html

Doors CS 7.2

Run any BASIC or ASM program or game

A shell that runs on top of the existing “OS” these calculators run. Known as the best shell that is not just a straight up OS running on the calculator in place of the original OS.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/430/43068.html

DreamSoft OS

This one has an instant messenger and word processor! Astonishing.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/181/18158.html

Emu8x

Although it is slow, it allows me to write TI-86 Basic programs

A Z80 emulator that can run a TI-81, 82, 83, 85, or 86. Worthy of inclusion outside of the “PC emulators” generic category.

http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/forum/t-76641/emu8x

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/377/37796.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/308/30859.html

FreitazOS Beta 1.2 DEMO

this thing is far from finished

Clones Windows, with a lot of good ideas but very little actually implemented.

https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1687

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/391/39139.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/390/39042.html (1.0 P)

GEM OS

Not to be confused with the other GEM for the Atari ST. Glorified text interface, but has a language.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/121/12143.html

Global OS

This is in a demo state, but it is claimed to be 98% more stable, implying it mostly functions. Something in the menus visible is about a “Game emulator”, which piques the interest.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/310/31035.html

Great Operate 1.1

Has a “notebook”, but no “annoying password protection”.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/129/12990.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/314/31424.html

HxXxH

Ice 0.91

Cursor-focused BASIC shell that actually looks somewhat look for that feature alone.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/424/42459.html

The first assembly shell for the 83/84s. Simple and fast, with various programs requiring it to function.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/130/13058.html

Izzard 1.0

A “99% compatible” ion clone shell, with a more interesting graphical menu + cursor. Supports password lock.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/165/16533.html

KingSoftOS Beta

Another Windows clone with an included game.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/271/27141.html

KnightOS

the pieces of KnightOS are maintained as separate projects under the KnightOS organization

Likely the most versatile OS available for these two calculators. The most recent versions may support USB upload from PC, allowing this to effectively completely replace the original calculator OS.

https://web.archive.org/web/20231225091219/https://knightos.org/

https://github.com/KnightOS/KnightOS (git most recent & USB, but compile difficult)

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/463/46387.html (precompiled, NO USB!!)

Mac OS X

A clone of Mac OS X 10.4.7, including “Microsoft Word”

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/388/38863.html

Macrodie

This can’t run anything, although it can view programs as icons.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/389/38933.html

Mini-OS

Lots of quotes used on this description. Like Windows with a “+” X11 style cursor.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/143/14317.html

MirageOS

It works on all 83+/84+ calcs regardless of age

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/459/45996.html

Nostalgy

Another OS with various features, such as a loader, playing WAVs, varying font styles, etc. As in, it’s not just a glorified shell on top of TI-OS.

https://web.archive.org/web/20070530054043/http://forum.reaktix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=11

OS2

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/170/17009.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/350/35058.html

This one requires “some sort of Lowercase”. Has a clock that freaks out all over the screen.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/332/33209.html

Purple Haze Special Edition

An Ion clone with “more features”. What exactly these features are is not known.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/177/17793.html

Predicted by Texas Instruments OS devs. This has a message encryption/decryption sys…

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/240/24052.html

The improved version of TSE, a multitasking shell for the TI-83+. Includes ion emulation.

The “fastest BASIC program”, according to the author.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/358/35835.html
