Hi and welcome here :)

I hope the issue can be addressed soon. It seems to be very challenging, though.

Hey there guys,

I believe I've spoken to calc84, but I still feel as though I have no clue how to do anything.  :o

I'm new to this, and I want to know:

- What exactly to put in my calculator
- Where I can find the PokemonRed ROM that will work with this TI-Boy
- And I guess I do need to know how to enter it into my calculator

(I've put in MirageOS and other games, but I have no experience with this technical stuff.  Maybe, I'm making it hard on myself.)

Hi and welcome here :)

After you generated a calculator version of the rom, you need to send the 8xk file to your calc. Unfortunately, though, we cannot provide any links to ROMs, as it is illegal to redistribute and against our board (and hosting provider) rules. You need to use Google for that (or any other search engine or download site you know). Once you got a ROM, follow the instructions in TI-Boy SE readme. Make sure the rom file only has letters and numbers in the name and starts with a letter. Once you did the conversion, it will make the 8xk file you need to transfer to calc

i s t r a w s e r @ y a h o o . c o m

Oops, is that my email? :P

In all seriousness, I can't get anything to work. If you are willing to, I'm not telling anyone to, but I would love to know what calc48 uses to get "it" to work.  If so, send "its" link to that email.

More Unexplained Questions in Readme:

What is Weemu, and how do I use it?
What do I transfer the files as? Archive or Ram?
Do I need a shell? Mirage OS?
TI-Boy SE's readme only gave me instructions on how to drop a ROM into that DOS thing to make it into a Calculator file, am I making this more complicated than it really is?

Thanks, guys, really this would be awesome to have, and I want to thank you all for either hosting this man's project or co-work on creating it.

*Wabbitemu is an Emulator
it simulates a ti-calc on your PC, you'll need a ROM of a 83+ or 84+ to let it work

archive

no shell needed, it's stored as  a flash application => under APPS button

It's not a DOS thing, it's a prompt thing,
you basicly just have to drag a rom to it
do what it says, then drag the new application to Ti-Connect and transfer will start (normally)

Someone on TI-BANK forum told me that at the back of the calculator, the hardware version is supposed to be written as a letter at the end of the serial number on the calc back. The guy, Critor, says for example that his
[11:35:39] <@critor> TI-84+ mai 2004: version non précisée (la première...) <-First model with no letter)
[11:35:39] <@critor> TI-84+SE mars 2005: matériel version C
[11:35:39] <@critor> TI-84+SE mai 2006: matériel version F
[11:35:39] <@critor> TI-84+ mars 2007: matériel version G
[11:35:39] <@critor> TI-84+ mars 2008: matériel version J

The order seems alphabetical. I wonder if people could post their hardware version so it could guide us to know approximately when the hardware change killing TI-Boy SE occured?

This way most likely won't work with TI-Boy SE v0.0.3, but while .2 is still out, you can use this way.

Have your rom, 1.bin, 2.bin, 3.bin, and wabbit.exe all in the same folder.
now create a file called 'app.asm' with the following in it.

Code: [Select]
#import 1.bin
.db "Pokemon "
#import 2.bin
#import Pokemon.gb
#import 3.bin

after that's created, go into command line and 'cd' to the correct folder, and type 'wabbit.exe app.asm Pokemon.8xk'

This might work, but I'm not having any high hopes because it seems that calc84's batch file works usually.

Is the model number the one on the back of the calculator? If so...

My Feb 2007 one appears to be G, my June 2005 one is C, and my July 2004 is A. Seems to match up.

are you sure the last zero is a zero?

Yeah, according to the rest of these, it might actually be a C. :P Try looking again...
