Hello(first post, but I've been reading the threads here)
I uploaded Bubble Bobble to my TI-84+SE and then from there to my friend's TI-84SE as well. We tried using the LINK feature to play together, but it's just stuck the screen for waiting when we click it.
Is there anything specific that I(or my friend) would need to do?
Thanks.

When ever I tried with 2 83 +'s we only got it to work once, so keep trying or look for dwedit

I can't exactly remimber, but we tried several ways OR it may not work with newer models.

You need to use the round linkport, since the game has linkport built in for that one only. The USB port is is different hexcode, so it wont work

I'm pretty sure the linkplay is not compatible with the 83+SE or 84 series.
You know your hexadecimal output routine is broken when it displays the character 'G'.

Does the linkport have a different number on the 83? That would make it so that it doesnt work on 83+ or 84+.

It's not the number. It's the hardware link assistance of the 83+SE and above, means you can't use it by directly manipulating the signal lines.
