Instructions

Note that the online file unsquish only works with TI-83 Plus assembly files, this means the extension of the file is ".8xp" (case insensitve).

1. Get the *.8xp asm file and unsquish it here. Keep the result handy as you prefer, keeping the page open, saving it or printing.

2. Create a new program in the calculator, just like a new TI-BASIC program.

3. Start by typing the AsmPrgm token. (you can find in the Catalog [2nd] [0]) Next type all the letters and numbers (this is the hexadecimal code) into the program you created without any new lines.

4. (optional) You can re-compile the assembly program oncalc. This reduces the program size to half by squishing it. The needed steps follow:

 4.1. Get to the Homescreen. Go to the Catalog and choose AsmComp from there.
 4.2. Type the program name of the program you want to compile enclosed in " . You can pick the program name from the PRGM menu. After that add a comma and a name of a program not existent in the calculator (enclosed too).
 4.3. Press Enter. The program will be compiled and created.
 4.4. Having the same two programs is wasting memory. So delete the non compiled.

5. That is it. To run the program just type on homescreen on in a program "Asm(prgmNAME)" where NAME is the name of the assembly program you typed before and Asm( a token found in Catalog.
