Ah ok, thanks for the info. What other games got so much RAM?
I'm not really sure, because I haven't tested too many ROMs. The makeapp.exe should tell you if there is too much RAM required for newer calcs, anyway.

problem, actually.

@annoyingorange what won't work for you?  Is it still on the PC side, making a ROM an app, or is it sending it, or the app itself on-calc?
If it's on the PC side, making the ROM, did you try the other method, not the drag-and-drop one?  That drag-and-drop's kind of hit-and-miss for me, but going in the folder using command prompt manually always works.  Another way I found was to double-click makeapp.exe, then type the stuff in.

Also, what's the ROM name you're trying to compile (is that the right word for it?), it might be too long or as calc84 said, might have spaces.

Some specifics might make it easier for people to help, just saying ;)





Yes it does how can I get one without????







making the app, even typing it in manually gives me problems it can't find it!!

@annoyingorange I had that same problem with the makeapp, but it was finally resolved.:)  What did you type or do within the command prompt?  Be specific, please.                  :)

I type in C:\Documents and Settings\Drew\Desktop\tiboy_beta_0.1.00\Kirby's Dream Land.gb and I try different ROMs and how I type it!!


I succeeded in converting Kirby to an app and sent it to my calc.  I tried running it and there was the error message.

If this is what you get me too (Look at 2nd picture)

Yeah, that's going to give you problems.  You're going to have to run command prompt, not the makeapp program to do this.
Navigate to the TI-Boy folder using "cd", which means change directory.

never mind calc84maniac released v 0.1.01 :) :) :) :) ;D :)


Actually the smileys are part of annoyingorange's posts, so when quoting you might accidentally have quoted them.

It seems like he had troubles quoting a post and decided to make a quote box made of smileys. ???


you are right

Just in case, what may be a source of many's problems is that you need to put any file name in quotes if there are spaces in its path or name. To use annoyingorange's configuration, something like
Code: [Select]
"C:\Documents and Settings\Drew\Desktop\tiboy_beta_0.1.00\makeapp.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\Drew\Desktop\tiboy_beta_0.1.00\Kirby's Dream Land.gb"If you don't, it is interpreted as several different arguments, not one long one with spaces.

Yeah, that filename has spaces in it, which means it won't work properly when typing in the name after running makeapp.exe (which is my fault). Try renaming it so there are no spaces, opening makeapp.exe, then typing the new name.

*bump*

New release (Beta 0.1.01)
makeapp.exe problems should be solved, and TI-Boy no longer modifies the OS permanently (meaning the OS is still "clean" after TI-Boy exits). No installation required anymore. Also, flash writing is done in 6MHz mode for now so it works on slower flash chips (geekboy had this problem).

Very good job !
Now I can play it on my TI-84+.

But I have a problem to send the 8xk file into my calculator with TI-Connect and when I try with WabbitEmu I have this:

(Super Mario Land)
How old is your version of WabbitEmu? I know TI-Boy uses a hardware feature that wasn't in Wabbit at some point (which I got Spencer to add for the older version of TI-Boy, I think)

The WabbitEmu's version is: 0.9.1.0
Yeah... the current version of wabbitemu is at least 1.5.2.24 (that's my newest copy I think). You can get the absolutely newest version at http://wabbit.codeplex.com/

Thanks, and how to put games on my TI-84+ with TI-Connect ?
(Sorry for my bad english.)

If you're having problems, the TI Calculator Programming And Support section is the place to go. Generally speaking, you install TI-Connect first, then plug in your calculator and it'll install the drivers. After that, it should be a simple matter of right-clicking the file, selecting "Send To TI Device...," and clicking the Send To Device button on the window that pops up. Best of luck!
