could some of the ROMs you guys tried just be broken? This is a bit harder to check since distributing them is illegal and against the rules, but that's something to think about. If there's a tool like for the SNES emulators but for GB instead that can fix broken ROMs I wonder if this could fix a lot of people issues?

Also Calc84 I thought you were at camping? Or did you got some limited internet access there?

I don't think so,
I tried some already emulated ROMs someone else gave me on my calc, and they did the same as they all do
but they worked on his though

Yeah, it turns out they have a computer lab here. I didn't bring my project flash drive with me or anything though.

Oh, and it's no problem with the ROMs for sure. The Nintendo boot code is built in to the TI-Boy APP. Maybe I'll keep trying to make test programs that might try to replicate not writing correctly to the RAM page... or something.

Hmm, I just found this page from a post on UTI: http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=83Plus:OS:Ram_Pages

Code: [Select]
83h

OS 2.x uses at least some of the range 4000h through 4080h to store app base pages prior to app execution.
4100 through 433A is used for various buffers during USB communication.
I wonder if this could have anything to do with the results?

I think i may be able to help with some of the problems people are experiencing with the newer calculators. As i managed to get a few roms to work ok (t2 the arcade game and kirbys dream land) but most just crash usually st the start menu or a few after nintendo logo (wario blast). I think it may have something possibly to do with the graphics driver as newer ti 84 plus se have different software/hardware to the older ones which can cause problems with a few games.   

PLEASE NOTE
a couple of people have posted saying that the game just crashes after the nintendo logo, full stop. that happened to me with all the roms i tried until i simply just zoomed in with the 5 button and the games worked (to some extent) after that.

Also the program that makes games seems to have trouble with any sort of pokemon, but the many versions of pokemon ive tried do happen to me over 1MB so that could be the issue

P.S
is there any chance you can merge this into a mirageos/ion program? to make it possible to run it off usb flash drives ?

Are you using the patch? Because apparently the Nintendo logo doesn't load at all without the patch, which is kind of odd. Maybe there's some sort of problem with the rendering code though - I'll have to look into that sometime.

And running off of flash drives won't work - it has to load the entire program into RAM first, which is impossible for all ROMs.

Whenever i use the emulator instead of nintendo i get a blotched thing in the middle of my calc. Also do i use the original link's awakening for Gameboy or gameboy color. And what is this about flash drives so you cant move roms between comps with a flash drive? Also forpokemon and zelda they just took up 500kb in my calc is that natural?

Well, after I get back from vacation I may release another patch which runs the emulator in 6MHz mode, just to make sure it isn't memory access times that are the problem. It'll be nice to see if it runs correctly, though a bit slower.

Okay - new patch. I wondered what would happen if I ditched RAM page 3 entirely and used page 7 instead. Just don't try using Pokemon. http://otbp.tifreakware.net/files/2.bin
