I don't think that's possible, except when drawing graphs. TI-Connect lets you send 133x83 images to set as background on the graph/trace screen. There was a program that let you do this on the home screen on monochrome calculators, but I'm pretty sure it would be way too slow on the color calc.
It's not the full 320x240?
You can't. The only way is to use xLIBC backgrounds or sprite sheets then generate a full screen image from it (sort-of).
With xlib you could have a video file using 80x60 images with 256 colors, but each frame would take 4800 bytes and the video would play at around 5-6 FPS. You would need to convert each frame one by one. http://dcs.cemetech.net/ and the xLIB 84C topic on Omni probably have some helpful doc.
YEah that's my favorite part as well as the extra BASIC commands from xLIB and Celtic2CSE.
Indeed, although I wouldn't recommend using it in BASIC games until you are very familiar with the language and mastered it. In the case where you use multiple sub-programs, only the main program can be ran from archive directly. Using lowercase letters can be a problem when it comes to free RAM because each char takes 2 bytes instead of 1.
