Hmm? If you mean text and stuff looks really condensed, that's because the GB screen was 160x144, as opposed to 96x64 on a TI-84 Plus. Press +/- to zoom in.

I tried all that, its too bad!

Anyway thanks for trying to help me!

I remember Super Mario Land had troubles with the previous TI-Boy SE due to how it was made. I wonder if that could be a game-specific problem?

Oh right, wasn't there a problem with tilemapping or something?

EDIT: Works on the 84PSE though...

Yeah it was the way tilemapping was done, if I remember.

You mean it's all in black and white?
Press [GRAPH] for grayscale.
Hopefully it looks a bit more familiar now ;)
Keys from [Y=] to [TRACE] revert to black and white.

Also, try this...
Good idea for SMB original: get on top of the [?] block just at the start.
Pause the game.
Press + until nothing happens when you press it.
Press the [.] key until the camera goes to mario and mario blinks.  That's ti-boy telling you it will track the flashing sprite (in this case, mario)
You can also manually move the camera to mario by using the numbers as a kind of joystick--8 being up, 2 being down, 9 being up-right, etc
Unpause, try jumping or moving or something.  The camera should follow.
For puzzle-type parts, you can zoom out just as easy as zooming in, with the [-] key.

It works just fine for me on the 84PBE, SML included.
All of this is in the readme, btw.

I will try that later (I pressed those keys before, but image quality still sucked, but maybe this is a different way)

Thanks btw! :)

EDIT: While Zooming it works okay but will I have too click always + and -?

For some reason when I try to transfer the app at near 60 percent it just stops and says "The device does not recognize the command."
There was no problem with the alpha version of tiboy though.

Just a wild guess, are you trying to send Pokemon over a mini-USB cable? If so, there's some odd bug that prevents you from successfully sending Pokemon over USB. Try using a serial cable if you have one, or if not, try a different game.

Yes, some others have reported this problem as well. This glitch seems to occur only when sending over direct USB cable (SilverLink works fine for some reason). Which ROM did you use to make the APP?

I said the glitch only happens on the Direct USB cable, not that it always happens on it. The point is that SilverLink never has this problem (though sending is significantly slower)

The rom was Pokemon Red.

Also I tried with some other roms and they all work, maybe it's because Pokemon Red is so much larger?

I don't have SilverLink, does the serial cable work?

I believe that any cable that connects to the calculator's serial port instead of mini-USB port should work.

Calc84Maniac, isn't really any way to get Pokemon Red or Blue (any pokemon game) on calculator?
