I have a ti-84+ regular edition. I followed your instructions on installing desolate and it didnt appear in the mirage os listing. i reinstalled desolate (and desdata of course) and later i installed mirage 1.2 and desolate and desdata again. it still wont appear. i tried with data archived and game in ram, and data and game both arched. it will not appear in mirage os's list of programs. i also tried ticalc.org's and omnimaga's versions. Why doesnt it work? im afraid i have corrupted my rom or something really bad with one of those poorly programmed asm programs of mine (but theyre fun! Who doesnt like an unfinished demo of monster rancher). Yeah i really want to play your game. my ti os is ti 84 plus 2.21 btw.

Maybe the game isnt compatible with OS 2.21, maybe you could try to get 2.22 at http://education.ti.com

Hmmm... odd
Are you sending the .8xp versions?


Out side of that the only other thing I can think of is trying to delete the mirageos Appvar, it's like 40 bytes or so.

Hmmm....All I can think of is to ask other question maybe help trouble shoot.
Do other progs show up?
Do you have any other programs or apps on your calc?
What program are you using to send it?
What link cable are you using?



You could also try clear all the mem.( I wouldn't )

Or maybe send it as a group. ( doubt that would work)

This is an odd little problem here.


Edit also you might try some other Shell. like crunchy or even ION.

I had this problem with TI-Connect for Mac. Try a Windows version (this fixed it for me) or if you cant get to one maybe TiLP for Mac.
