A question.  In the past, the amount of options for games was really limited for the 84PBE due to less archive space, and that pretty much took out all the good games I found x.x

Is this still the case?

EDIT:
Quote from: old readme (from ticalc.org)
Note: Only ROMs 256KB or less will fit on a TI-84+. The Silver Edition calculators can fit ROMs of 1MB or less.
There's nothing of the sort in the newer readme... The compiling app speaks for itself.. :(

EDIT2: ↓↓↓ ???
EDIT3: got it to work with a different one, i'm guessing i was the shorter name

Help I get The same problem!!!!

Help please I can't get it to work it says it cannot locate tiboy.bin but it is in the folder

Norton says makeapp is a virus.

You of course.

still trying to get it to send, but earlier, I had trouble when I tried to drag a rom over makeapp, and it said that tiboy.bin didn't exist.  And it did exist.  Right next to it in fact.  Only like 50 pixels away... Reach buddy!!! grab that tiboy.bin!

Yeah, this stuff is why I'm doing community betas. :P Did you drag from another folder or from within the same folder?

same folder. and it seems to send all the way, try and validate, and then say the calc isn't there.

Weird. makeapp worked perfectly for me, and I was able to send Final Fantasy Legend 2 to my calc without a problem.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Well, it works when I do it via command line, but not when I drag and drop.

Testing again, it says: "Error: Could not locate vital file tiboy.bin"

So yeah... Strange.

All I do in the program there is open the file "tiboy.bin". I guess the current working directory is somehow wrong. It would be nice if I could pack the binary directly into the makeapp.exe :P

Maybe can someone post some apps here? I get error "vital file tiboy.bin missing"
I ended up using the command prompt method (directions in the readme)
Spoiler For how:
Using the typical file explorer, copy the file path from the top.  ie "F:\calc\ti\tiboy_beta_0.1.00"
In command prompt:type cd /d (with a space after /d), right-click and select paste (ctrl+V won't work)
Readme describes it from there, makeapp [ROM name].gb [app name, no extension] ie makeapp SuperMarioLand.gb SML

What might also work is double-clicking makeapp.exe.

Also btw I told zonealarm to "allow suspicious behacior exhibited by makeapp.exe" and it still didn't work 100%...

EDIT: @calc84 might it be possible to make the greyscale calibrated with thepenguin's (or a similar) method?  I was playing SML and almost the whole time there was this splotch of diagonal lines, kind of distracting :P

If it isn't working for you, will you please post the anti-virus/virus (norton)  you are using?
Maybe have it as a poll?

No I use Mcafee and I scanned tiboy to see if that was the problem and it said it was fine.

Norton says makefile is fine, until you run it a 2nd time.
The 2nd time it is removed from your computer as a "Virus"

Maybe Norton doesn't like that I am using the system() function to call rabbitsign.exe
