Most importantly, are you sending a TI-83+ OS? I recall you said on IRC that it was a TI-83+SE.

Try again with a freshly-downloaded copy of 1.19 from TI's website, linked here for convenience: http://education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Software/Download/en/126/6286/TI83Plus_OS.8Xu
It's important to note that the 84+ version won't validate.

It's generally best when playing calc games to take a minute break every 10 minutes, then select the GarbageCollect option and see if a low battery message pops up. If not, then just cancel GarbageCollecting (unless you want to do it anyway), then turn the calc OFF then back ON to see if a low battery message appears there.

I know this is a bit offtopic, but why does it seem that this older calculator seems more snappy than my new one (rev. P-0410P).  For example when the ram is cleared, its almost instant on this old one, but it takes about 1 sec longer (there is the progress bar on the top right for a sec) to clear the ram on my new one.  What causes this?  I can always make a video if you need one.
That ram clear delay is probably due to the calculator scanning the archive for all of your variables and programs. On an empty calculator, that takes no time at all.
I'm not sure, I just make a video of the two calculators side by side.  It's not just the RAM clear, it seems the whole OS seems to repond faster.  The video shows the RAMTEST and showing the Archive space.  I do kinda pause while I try to get my fingers on the keypads right, it's hard to hold a camera and press two keys on two calculators at the same time. :thumbsup:

Looks like it's time for a new release! Beta 0.2.00, coming at ya!

Major new features are custom frameskip support and more responsive emulator keypresses, in addition to a bunch of compatibility fixes. The entire changelog follows:
* Rearranged some code/data, allowing TI-84 Pocket.fr compatibility and freeing some RAM.
* Reimplemented waitloop detection, which should eat much less CPU time per frame now.
* Rendering tricks are more reliably detected, fixing graphics in parts of some games.
* Emulator control keys are checked more often, improving responsiveness. Also, sprite tracking selection improved.
* Added custom frameskip settings.
* GPU speed is more accurate when sound is enabled, speeding up parts of some games.
* Timer emulation is more accurate, fixes music in Super Mario Land among other things.
* Extremely high-pitched sounds are changed to a slightly lower pitch, which should prevent freezes.
* Bit 1 of STAT is now toggled at every scanline from 0 to 143, which fixes some games.
* makeapp.exe updates:
    - Allow manual special character entry in app names, by typing \XY (XY is a hexadecimal character value)

Wait, hang on -- music is fixed?

For some reason, I recall that somewhere I was informed that music wasn't supported?

4-channel sound was added in Beta 0.1.06 :)

Sometime I'll have to add in the option for 2-channel sound like in TI-Boy Alpha, which takes less CPU time.

Daaang.  I must have missed quite a few updates.
And performance/responsiveness is still good?

Performance when sound is on is about 75% of the speed when sound is off.

Nice update! ;D  However Super Mario Land freezes on my S-0505D calculator after pressing start, does anyone else get this problem? (WabbitEmu doesn't freeze though)  Also Kwirk still has the scanline issue.  Eventually I'll try my P-0410P and see if any issues occur on it.

Odd, I can only reproduce the Super Mario Land glitch on hardware, not in wabbitemu. And the glitch only happens when sound is disabled, it seems.
