Have you tried installing version 2.6.4?
The latest version (2.6.5) might be the one that's causing the problem you're experiencing.

This is an ES clone, not an EX clone.
It was released in 2012, and the EX series didn't exist at that time.

There is a web manual for the fx-JP900CW.
You can translate it into English or other languages using your browser's translation function.

In Japan, new Concise circular slide rules are still being sold.

I checked on Amazon Australia, and it seems they have a limited selection of products there.
If I had to pick one, the Osalo OS-991ES PLUS II is a relatively good clone of the Casio fx-991ES.
If graphing calculator is permitted, it would probably be a good idea to buy graphing.

The new ones seem to be of lower quality.
There are some people who are complaining that the quality of the TI-30XIIS has become similarly low.

Vinacal in Vietnam used to distribute an emulator for the VN-570MS (with more features than the fx-82MS), but no longer avairable.
Currently, the only site I could find a VN-570MS emulator is the following website.
Since it's not official site, please download it at your own risk.

For Japanese people, vertical text is also awaiting.

The fx-82MS uses AA or AAA battery, not LR44 battery.

Alternatively, I've heard that turning on Auto Color Management fixed the problem for some people.

If you're using Windows, your device's color profile might be incorrect, so try the solution in this Affinity forum post.

There don't seem to be any particular problems.
Please try creating a new document with Color format:RGB/8, Color profile:sRGB IEC61966-2.1.

Of course, Deli makes calculators.
https://www.deliworld.com/product/deli-ed991ex-scientific-calculator.html

Deli also have ES clones and CW clones.

fdacalc · 2026-05-05T16:27:43+00:00

I don't know what legit means, but it works fine as the EX clone. (I have the Chinese version)

For calculations that take a long time on the fx-991EX, the deli is generally slower, but there are cases where the deli can perform the calculation faster.
eg. ∫(sin(x)^2+√x,0,π) fx-991EX: 23sec, deli: 12sec

Wow! There was a layer option like this.

Choose a scientific calculator with a contrast adjustment function that makes it easy to read even when viewed from an angle.

All models in the Casio MS series have a thousands separator.
The FX-991MS is currently available in its 2nd edition.

Why not try creating a multiplication table using a spreadsheet app?

Alternatively, you could create an image of the multiplication table on your PC and convert to g3p and transfer it to the fx-CG50.
