If you're talking about games made with TI basic then you can just put this on the first line:
:"
and then on the same line write a description. This will make basic games show up in mirage.

example, program with name "blahblah":

::"blahblah
:code
:code
:code

Hope this helps you.

Presumably the just released update to MirageOS fixed that. I'm told it was the newer versions of the 83+ OS that broke that feature in the old MirageOS.

Adding the : to the beginning of the program doesn't crash it running normally last I checked. the ":" works on 1.12 and 1.13 fine.

It won't unless you do something else to make it do that. It works on 1.16 (the newest for 83+, I believe) just fine.

"and you can play them just press the prgm button and selct the program and press enter"

That can be a pain, having to go into a menu and scroll through a (probably really long) list of programs to find it. That's why shells have been created: to organize (and possibly sort to your liking into separate folders like MirageOS does) and make that program list that much shorter. Who likes scrolling through all those auxilary programs that don't even work by themselves?

Don't say running basic programs through MirageOS was never a problem, guys. I've seen too many people complain about their calculator crashing because of that. Also, the very first item of the list of changes for the newly released MirageOS 1.2 is "BASIC programs now compatible with all hardware/operating-system combinations".
