Make sure you download the file from the proper section. Also, yes, you may need a shell (such as MirageOS, located under the "Misc" tab at the top) to run some games. |

Press ENTER to select it, then press it again to go past the splash screen. Now, press "2ND" to open the folder called "MAIN", and any games you have on your calc show up there. That's all you have to do. |

Total Posts: 692 | Ah, I figured this would come up, as this puzzled me also when I first downloaded it. To find Mario levels, click the "Misc" tab at the top of the site again, and you'll find Mario levels there. Just send them to your calc like any other program, and the Mario program will automatically detect them, and they will be displayed when you run Mario.
*A warning/note: Because there is the included program that lets you make Mario levels easily, some Mario levelsets (though none on this site, they are all quite good) are crap, because any n00b can make them. So, when you download levelsets, download probably about 10, and chances are at least 3 or 4 of them will be good. |
