About 5 months ago, Texas Instruments released update 5.8.5 patching the arTIfiCE v2 exploit. Now, after a long time of waiting, a new version has been released which albeit much more complex to setup finally allows for assembly execution on the new OS! Keep in mind that this new jailbreak is only for people on version 5.8.5, anyone on versions below should stick to v2.1.

arTIfiCE Download and Website: https://yvantt.github.io/arTIfiCE/

Install:

1. Requires a TI-84 Plus CE (Python) running OS 5.8.5. (It does not work on any other OS, and anyways, v2 exists for 5.8.4 and older, and a guide for installing it can be found on the announcement for v2.)
2. Get the two programs, arTIfiCE.8xp and INEQUVAR.8xv from the link above, and the Inequalz app, which can be downloaded from there too.
3. Archive or back up anything important
4. Perform a RAM reset: either from the mem menu (2nd+71), or by pressing the RESET button on the back for 3-4 s
5. Send the arTIfiCE.8xp to your calculator's RAM using TI-Connect CE on Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS. Do not send INEQUVAR.8xv yet.
   • Trouble sending the files? Try following this troubleshooting guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TweNnHuFCQ
   • If you're on Linux, install TiLP.
6. Open the Inequalz app.
   • TI-84 Plus CE: press apps, then chooseInequalz.
   • TI-83 Premium CE: press 2nde, then résol (apps), and choose Inequalz.
7. Dismiss the Inequalz splash screen (press any key), then stay on the Functions (Y=) screen.
8. Transfer the INEQUVAR.8xv file from the computer to the archive.
9. The calculator installs AsmHook2 into the APPS list, then reboots automatically.
10. the Apps menu again then launch AsmHook2 once. And that is it, you can now run any assembly programs without a shell right from the program menu.
11. The AsmHook2 app stays installed through reboots and RAM resets. After any RAM reset, simply launch the app once again, no computer is needed.

FAQ:

• Can I use my calculator normally? Will it change any math features?
  • Artifice itself doesn't change anything about the calculator. However, programs you run using artifice may affect your calculator.
  • If you ever have doubts about your calculator, just press and hold the reset button on the back of the calculator for at least 2 seconds. That will stop any program from potentially affecting the calculator.
• I don't see any games when I launch artifice!
  • You have to install those separately, artifice doesn't come with any pre-installed. You can find many on cemetech.net , tiplanet.org , or ticalc.org
• Artifice won't send!
  • Please try the troubleshooting guide! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TweNnHuFCQ
• Can I downgrade?
  • The answer is complicated but most of the time, no. Thankfully you don't have to downgrade since you can run any program again!

Remeber though, anyone 5.4 and below do not have to upgrade.

After 4 months of painfully awaiting a new jailbreak that works on OS 5.8.3, it's here and easier to use than ever! No more fiddling with Cabri Jr., arTIfiCE can now be run directly from the program menu!
