The games we have been trying to play have been Bubble Bobble and Slimeball. We both run MirageOS. Could someone please explain how to set up and run a multiplayer game? |

Some have no multiplayer; others only allow multiple players on the SAME calculator. Consult each game's readme file for details, but the general method for playing multiplayer, multicalculator games for those that support it is simply hooking the calcs up with the unit to unit link cable and selecting multiplayer mode on both calculators. |

Andy Administrator Posted: 3 Nov 2005 13:59 GMT Total Posts: 939 | Yes, the same goes for the 84+ (even less so since I don't know of a single game that supports USB on the 84+, but I know of at least one that does on certain 89Ti AMS versions). |
