Suggestions about camera:

when zoomed in and set to follow a sprite in say, link's awakening, if you move the camera using the numbers on the keypad, the camera does not center back on the sprite when you release the button. iirc the alpha version did that. Sometimes useful, like when just checking how many hearts left or something. Maybe an option to do that?

Also it moves very slowly when panning the camera. It's smoother but not as quick as alpha. So I can't check something not in the camera quickly. I think it would be better if it moved faster, more like the alpha version.

From what I've seen on IRC there's a sort of Picture-in-Picture thing planned, which would work well for a thing like that ;)

I haven't tried this in a while due to the amount of space it takes on a BE, but I don't remember it scrolling really slowly... ???

I do need to speed up the scrolling and stuff, I think I've had the same speed since about the first beta version. I never got around to fixing it.

Edit:
Also, remember you can refocus on the sprite by pressing the 5 button.

Lol, forgot about that.

EDIT: another question, lol.

Why does the sound on tiboy seem different from when playing the game on an actual gameboy?
Does tiboy play the original music files from the rom or does it modify them?
Either way the sound is kind of scratchy.

Not saying its bad, just want to know the reason for the difference.

It's because I'm trying to emulate the 8-bit sound using 1-bit outputs, controlled by the CPU (since the calculator doesn't have a sound chip). The sound quality could be better if I devoted more CPU time to it, but that would unacceptably slow down the rest of the emulation. For what it is, it's fairly good.

I've tried marioland on it, and it works great. But when I turn on the sound, I heared that the backgroung music is really slow (1 note every 5 secs), while the effects (like smashing a block) are still at the correct speed. Is that the way it is on a real gameboy, or a bug in ti-boy?

BTW: this is on a 1 year old calc, so it hasn't got the extra ram pages.

I think it's a bug related to not emulating the gameboy's timer hardware correctly. It's probably fixable.

WAIT NVM, I just realized I still had OS 2.71MP on O.O
   I think I'm missing something, I have 2.55MP, I can't send the app to my calc It's a TI-84 Plus SE,  revision number R.  I am using a USB cord.  What things are different about this created app and the one I made with the TI-Boy SE.  My TI-Boy SE version of the app would begin to transfer with TI connect and then stop midway with concerns to RAM.  Help me please, I do appreciate it.  Maybe I should be asking what is Silverlink?

2.71 OS is a joke, made on april fool's day and designed to crash randomly.

What game are you trying to transfer?  There's something about Pokemon not working with USB..

It sounds to me like you don't have enough space left on your calculator.  Try deleting the Apps you don't use (like the ones  that aren't in English) from the [2nd] [Mem (+) ] [2] menu.

  That makes sense, I will remove a bunch of stuff. Oh, and I am trying to install Zelda Links Awakening.  It says insufficient memory so I gues that means archive space.
