if the GB file is 2.48 MB, I assume in 8xk format it will be about 1.3 MB, which would fit on a SE calc, but not on a regular 84+. However, one of the Pokémon version didn't work, from what I remember. You would need to check the compatibility list thread

Ok, Pokemon appears to be in the moderate compatibility list, while Blue will not run. That's what I guess, at least. But I think Red is supposed to have a few issues. Remember that since the emulator is still in alpha stages, though, that compatibility might be slightly broken as it progresses, until it all gets fixed again

Well it's because the BASIC game was programmed directly on the calculator editor. I think the author did a pretty good job so far, considering the limitations and how much he worked on it. Again, today some people seems to play games only for graphics


It's still far from finished, though.


EDIT: I would suggest Zelda

Yeah I understand what you mean. A bit like Zelda. Spencer is working on a Zelda game with more features than Links Awakening on calculator and transitions looks more like today's games (like black bars appearing at top and bottom of screen while a switch is activated), but some people will still want the real Zelda LA.

Keep in mind GB games runs slower on the calculator, though, altough they remains playable in overall.

They aren't too slow, though.

Also, I was able to send the Red version to a friend's 84 calculator. The file was about 2.8mb, but the file on the calculator was only a fraction of that. Why is that? I had almost enough room to send two copies of it.

TI Application files are bloated (they are stored in an ASCII hexadecimal format instead of raw binary)

Mhmm that sounds like an idea, but wouldn't file size become an issue? I don't think you can run an APP from another APP, plus, files that are not APPs cannot be larger than 65536 bytes. ROMs would have to be stored into multiple small chunks of 65 KB and running them might be a big challenge

Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent crashes. You need to archive your important stuff before playing and when it freezes, remove a battery, put it back then press the ON button

As for your profile pic, I don't see it. Are you sure the file host where it is hosted allows hotlinking/remote-linking?

Try change the img tag to "http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt169/brianbdm/pokemon.gif" instead of "http://s608.photobucket.com/albums/tt169/brianbdm/?action-view&current=pokemon.gif"

What do you do to the image tag?
(so I know for other images)
