Hello everyone...I have the exact same problems as NecroF-_-ckk, except that I am using a TI 84+ SE, which I bought last July.  The newest 2.bin patch finally showed the Nintendo logo, but then...garbage.

Well, thanks for adding to the pattern of TI-Boy failing on calculators bought within the last two years or so... heh. That theory seems even more accurate now.

i just gave pac-man a quick test on my newer 84+ (less than a year old) and it did not run after the splash screen, it runs perfectly on my other 84+ which is 3 or 4 years old.

Well, doesn'T older 84+ have this crappy LCD driver problem causing games to be distorted in Ion and Mirage, even after the LCD Fix program is ran?

HI
long time reader first time poster. I recently had time to test this on my ti 84 plus SE (newly bought) but all I got was garbage and zelda links awakening did even fit on my empty calaculator.  So i tried kirby and that went smoothly until I tried to run it. all I got was nintendo logo then garbage. So i tried the new bin file and got the same result. Finally i overcame the problem by zooming in with the "5" button, then the game runs great except the graphics are all messed up after the start screen (its playable but the map keeps getting worse and worse). Also every time I try and make pokemon a ti file it has an error then shuts down.
epic job btw!

Hi and welcome here :)

I hope when Calc84maniac returns from his vacation in August that he will be able to find a way to fix these issues. I am wondering if he will be forced to make two versions of the emulator, one for the calcs with problems and one for the others? Also I am curious if there couldn't be a third group of TI-84+ calcs with hardware different from the two other groups? I notice more people saying they got trouble with specific games, not all of them

thats probably becouse there are few games that work (on some calcs) and most people test the ones that arre popular (who doesn't know Pokémon, Zelda or Kirby? :p )
I think if he mods the code untill it runs (decently, that is) on the 'new calcs' (right now that is calcs newer than 2 years), I think it'll work on the older ones too. So I gues there'll only have to be one.
I'm almost sure he can do the job, since he has been able to edit the code in 3 days, so it could actually emulate anything (the nintendo screen wasn't even visible in pevious versions).

Yes, I do like to use ('es and )'es

Well, the RAM dump one user gave me showed that the Nintendo boot code (which happened to be at the beginning of the RAM page) had empty spots full of 0's where it shouldn't. I moved the boot code to somewhere else and apparently it worked again because all of it was being copied. I suppose, however, the actual games use parts of this RAM which possibly weren't responding correctly to writes (or reads?).
