Gold. I'm sure it has  enough space judging by the other replies, but it stops halfway through and gives me that error.

Use a silverlink. I had to borrow one from one of my friends to send Pokemon Gold.

I personally had less troubles sending stuff using a direct USB cable, but with Silverlink it usually worked fine too (although sometimes slower and didn't detect the calc randomly). The only time I had problems transferring apps larger than 300 KB was when I used a black serial cable.

Actually the SilverLink works a lot better with Tilp for me. Except for sending OS's. For that I need to use DirectUSB or TI Connect.

Silverlink is the one using the I/O port right?

The silverlink is one of the cables that uses the I/O port. It has USB on the other end. The other method that uses the I/O port is the old graph link, but most people don't use that anymore. It plugged into the parallel port for communication.

Or serial. Mine was a serial cable since it had 9 pins. I think there are serial cables with much more pins, though.

DJ nope. RS232 is 9 pins. Cables with a similar looking connector and more pins are either VGA (15 pins) or parallel.
And IIRC the parallel cable was a homebrew cable.

Serial ports come with various numbers of pins. I think the original design was 25 pins.

The graphlink I had was an old gray one and required a 25(i think) to 9 pin adapter. I thought the graphlink was a parallel cable, but thinking back it was probably a serial cable. I'm almost certain.

Parallel ports are just plain gpio. Many bitbang serial protocols on it.

Works awesome so far i have tested:

Worms - works well and is playable
Pokemon Red - Runs magnificently
NBA Jam - Works well but is a bit too slow to play
Final Fantasy 3 - intro into game+dialog works then freezes
Mortal Kombat - Freezes during startup brand logos

All in all a fantastic effort and the scaling+colour switching is great, i will try to get more information on the ones that freeze.

I know. Mario is a little slow, though.
A little... um... well...
But, hey, in Pokemon Blue (my little brother plays Red) the frame skips don't even matter, it runs like full speed (is it just me, or are the number buttons for frame skip?)

Yeah if it didn't change on the CSE (no reason why it would) then numbers set the frameskip.

I don't know anybody else with a CSE, so I can't find this out by myself:
For games like pokemon, will multiplayer work with cables (calc to calc)?
(this would be used for the right half of the PokeCenter's)
Data: A monk, a clone, and a Ferengi decide to go bowling together...
Picard: Data! Report to bridge immediately!
