O.o if it stays like that after clear the only possible explanation I could think of is that you have A LOT of programs and appvars on your calc or something... names of programs/appvars take up a small amount of memory, even if they're in archive. Hidden MOS/DCS programs take up even more space. For me, after RAM clear I only have ~22900 free because of all of my progs/appvars (I'd say I easily have >100 combined :P)

oh and also, I think you can't run MOS programs from archive if you don't have enough free RAM to house it.

Squidgetx is completely right except for this line:
Hidden MOS/DCS programs take up even more space.
Actually, they take the same amount of space weather they are hidden or not. :)

Thanks for the answer, squidgetx! ;D

Yeah the issue is that archived files also take some RAM in the VAT. This is why with many, you cannot play Gemini or Castlevania. I was scared that your calc got bricked or something at first. Back in the days I remember people trying to install Reuben Quest but after a fresh mem reset they only had 22 KB of free RAM on their 84+SE, which was weird.

Ever tried grouping them? O.o They take a lot less RAM for VAT space than a bunch of individual programs.

I would create two groups copy , though. Group corruptions happens, unfortunately.

You can pretty much have only the level unarchived. That is a really good game, too.
