Doesn't CrunchyOS and OmniCalc both feature compression?

6.2, you run zjload, and then it boots up and starts normally. I haven't experienced any errors at all.

huh, I've never gotten it to run on my calculator. maybe my VAT is taking up too much space >_< that used to happen occasionally with Gemini or Desolate.

Yeah Gemini is huge though I have heard of people successfully separating the maps from the game so that the maps could be archived.

That sounds like an excellent idea.
The only way I've ever successfully run Gemini is through msd8x.
I didn't think Desolate was that huge though. It has the data and engine separate, after all. I might be misunderstanding the meaning of "VAT" though...

every program you have on your calculator takes up a few bytes of RAM, even when archived because of its entry in the VAT (Variable Allocation Table). When you have a lot, as I do, it makes a noticeable difference.

Even on the SE's?
Why would it be different on the SE's? That's how it works on all of the calculators, that is also why you have a better chance of being able to play Gemini on a non-SE since you have fewer programs meaning fewer vat entry's even when every thing is archived.

well, you a LOT more room on the SE, so wouldn't that "chance" be actually better on the SE...?

Oh, I thought that the SEs didn't have a VAT, or that it wasn't stored in the usable RAM...
False. Neither of those are true; it both has a VAT, and it is stored in useable RAM.

Can you upgrade calculator ram?
Unfortunately, no; the OS is programmed to only be able to understand the amount of RAM built-in to the calculator, so if you wanted to solder in a replacement RAM chip, you'd have to rewrite significant portions of the OS.
Are you planning on at least releasing a 6.3 with one or two of these suggested features, should we never get to 7.0?

Oh, we'll get to 7.0, don't worry, the question is just when. 
But yes, there will be intermediate versions as well.

Generally it's about 18 bytes or so per program, group, variable, app, etc. It can be more or less depending on the name length.
Just to have it said, applications don't have VAT entries.
