Title: Archiving Files on the TI-89 Titanium
Post by: Collision Cat on September 16, 2007, 09:18:00 am
Hi guys! I have finally got a TI-89 Titanium. I need to archive some stuff to run a game, but... what is this and how do I do it? I searched for it in TI Connect's help thingy and that came up with backing up files, which I did but it didn't help. Thanks. :Dbiggrin.gif

If you are archiving one file, you don't need to press [F4]. You press [F4] on every file you want to archive if you want to archive more than one at once.

I press F5 to select every file. :)smile.gif

 Dagum... I never knew that. You 'da man! :thumbup:google.gif

And it works for unarchiving as well! :king:king2.gif



It goes to show that you are never to old to learn new tricks. -.-blah.gif

 You probably did not have enough contiguous RAM to hold the files.

o.oblink.gif shouldn't that only happen if you're trying to archive more than there was in RAM?  maybe you just needed a garbage collect or something.

But you can't garbage collect on your own on the 89... :(sad.gif

No but you can write a program that does it for you. :Ptongue.gif

does it at least garbage collect on it's own when needed? If not, then this must be very problematic in some games that require some occasional garbage collecting

Yes, it does. On its own.

@Aaroneus: That could be useful. . .
