I followd another tut for games but those where not many and fun games but i dindt had to jailbreak? I went to asm(prgrmand them the game i wanted to play, but if i do this wil it be necessary? I have the TI84 CE-T

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

You only need to use a jailbreak if your OS version is 5.5 or greater. You can check this by pressing [2nd] and [+] to open the mem menu, then scrolling down and clicking about. It should list the OS version there. I don't think you need the jailbreak if you already were able to run ASM programs, you only need it if the calc doesn't let you.

[@Flahgybro]

Not necessarily related to the GameBoy but I do have a question about other games (got the GameBoy on the calculator btw it’s awesome) I see that people have downloaded doom and Five Nights at Freddy’s on the original TI 84 Plus. Is there a way to download games from TI84plus for the TI84 Plus CE? And if not do you know where there is a port for those 2 games on the TI84 Plus CE? Thank you!

Sadly, the answer to both questions is no :( However, there are still a lot of other games for the TI-84 Plus CE!

I'm following both of your video tutorials on how to get games on the calculator and how to put the apps on USB, since I'd like to save some storage. However, I'm a bit confused, cause I'm mixing up the infos from these two videos: for example, once i transfer the files on the USB do I also need to download asm, as seen in this video? Sorry if you don't get me, but it's really confusing at the begin for me.

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

Yes, you'll still need the jailbreak. However, keep in mind that only the main program should go on the USB drive, the appvars need to be on the calculator for it to work properly.

[@bang_türk_varm]

@@TInyHackerCalcs atm I'm trying to do it without USB, but everytime I try to open tiboyce the screen shows the following error "unarchive the variable before use. 2nd Mem; Memory Management". i have 5.5 version of the OS so i skipped the whole first part

@@TInyHackerCalcs update: I misread my os version, it is the 5.2. Somewhere I read that it was too old, so I installed the latest (5.8), followed this video (without using any USB atm) and everything works fine. Now, I have a question: I'd like to keep the default apps of the calculator, however the storage is really limited, so I asked myself if it's possible to put them on the USB as well as tiboyce, with the same method you showed in the other video.

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

@@bang_türk_varm Not the default apps, however, you could delete some (Like languages you aren't going to use, for example) and you can always download them again later from a website like TI-Planet if you want them back.

⁠so I just encountered this as I booted up TIboy in class today. That it said it was out of ram despite me playing the games perfectly fine the day before. Any reason why I suddenly ran out of ram?

I keep getting an error when I hit program. It says ERROR: ARCHIVED Unarchive the variable before use. Any tips? I’m on 5.2

You can't run archived programs on 5.2 and older. Try upgrading to 5.3.0, which will not block assembly programs but allow you to run archived programs still. Here's a link to download 5.3.0 for the TI-84 Plus CE: tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=1138252

[@fatpancake52]

would you know anything about custom interaction between PC and Calculator? Theres obviously TI-Connect but what I am more looking for is something like this: 1. Calculator sends data through USB to computer, suppose the data is just a simple number 1. 2. Computer gets the 1 from the calculator, then sends back another number, 2 to the calculator. 3. The calculator gets the number 2 and displays something on the screen to indicate it. I have looked into the Get() and Send() commands but I couldnt figure out how to get the input from my computer. I saw your video about fat32 support with cesium and that made me think that maybe i could get it to write to a file on my hard drive and then let my computer read whatever the calculator writes, which would look like this: 1. Calculator gets fat32 partition on my hard drive and writes to a file, lets call the file "INP" 2. My computer constantly reads the INP file to see if it has any input. if it does, then it writes into another file called "OUT". 3. The calculator reads OUT until something appears in it, then removes the data inside both files. However, i was curious what your thoughts would be. Thanks

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

Hmm, sounds like an interesting project! The USB libraries for the C toolchain would probably be the best place to get started: ce-programming.github.io/toolchain/libraries/usbdrvce.html

I deleted files to free enough ram, the calculator how has over 6000 bytes, but the game still says it requires 2355 bytes, can you please help me?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

Try archiving files in the RAM instead of deleting them. It's also safer to have your files in the archive instead of the RAM so they do not get lost if your calculator crashes or is reset. To archive files, you can go into the Memory menu by pressing [2nd] and [+], and then go to the option for "Mem Management/Delete...". After that, go to "All...". You can scroll through your files there, and any file with a star next to it is in the archive. If there's no star, that means it's in the RAM. If you press [enter], the file you're currently selecting will toggle between archive and RAM.

[@joelcarranza7650]

If I want to download more than one game, would I have to repeat the entire process every time?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

You only need to repeat the ROM conversion process for each new ROM you send.

where is the data/progress for games stored on a calculator? im playing pokemon red and want to force evolve my kadabra into an alakazam cus i cant trade on a calculator, but i need to get a hold of the .gb file. is there a way to reverse engineer the files so i can get a hold of the .gb file i converted?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

The best way to do this would probably be with the official save converter: calc84maniac.github.io/tiboyce/saveconverter/ I believe the save appvar should begin with the prefix you selected when making the ROM, and then end with "SAV".

If the file is already on your calculator, you can go into the memory management menu with [2nd] + [enter], then select "Mem Management/Delete", "All" and you should see a list of all your files. Files with an asterisk "*" next to them are in the archive. Pressing [enter] will toggle whether the file the cursor is currently selecting is in the Archive or RAM.

Does this work on TI-84 plus c silver?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

There is a Gameboy emulator for the TI-84 Plus CSE, but you'll need to follow a different tutorial. The name of the emulator is TI-Boy CSE.

[@davidkim118]

Is it possible to download add one to the calculator for games like Pokémon crystal to allow you to evolve Pokémon who would normally be trade evolution only?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

Sadly, it isn't. I know the creator of TI Boy CE has thought about adding linking support between calculators to trade though, so maybe if that's ever possible you could evolve them that way.

[@randomuser3260]

This is a great guide and i got it to work, but im wondering is there anyway to possibly have 2 games in the emulator, One works but there isnt enough space for another so is there any programs that could be deleted after setting it all up for more memory?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

Often built in TI-OS apps can be taking up a lot of space, you can delete ones you don't use and see if that helps.

[@randomuser3260]

@TInyHackerCalcs I tried to but maybe crystal is just a big game? Is cesium and asm hook still necessary after installing? Same with artifice? Either way thanks for the reply

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

@@randomuser3260 Cesium and asmhook along with artifice should stay, and they aren't too big either. Crystal is a really big game, so you probably won't be able to fit two games with that. If the other one is smaller, possibly, but that depends. Sorry there isn't a better solution :/

I’m trying to download Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Yellow, but the calculator will only remember whatever Pokémon rom I last downloaded. I have enough memory. That’s not the issue because I’m able to download Super Mario Bros Deluxe as well. Pretty sure I’d be able to download around three roms with my current space. I’m also able to download the Pokémon roms onto the calculator separately perfectly well, but just not together:( Thoughts? Thanks!

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

Are you making sure you choose different names when you put them through the converter?

[@Sunny-nx8bx]

No, you’re right. They have the same names. Do you know how I can change their names? I just ran it through the converter and then downloaded it. I’m not sure how to change the names once converted. Could I just change the file name…?

[@TInyHackerCalcs]

@@Sunny-nx8bx I think you'll need to run one through the converter again, but just pick a different name. Because the on-calc name is stored in data inside the file (separate from the name that changes when renamed), it would be a pain to manually change them all so re-converting is much easier. Hopefully that works!

[@Sunny-nx8bx]

Hmm I redownloaded the rom, ran it through the converter again, downloaded it onto the calculator, but nothing has changed… the name remained the same after I reran it through the rom converter (pokémon.b84).
