LvGamer Probe Posted: 1 Oct 2005 09:13 GMT Total Posts: 8 | I downloaded mario for my 84plus silver edition and I can't open it. I also downloaded mirageOS. It is in the apps folder. When I go into the program section and hit enter on Mario and then enter again to open it and error screen comes up that says ERR:ARCHIVED. Also, when I open mirageOS and select mario from the main folder the column on the far right says that it is locked. How do I unlock it and how do I get the program to work.
Thanks. |

LvGamer Probe Posted: 2 Oct 2005 21:04 GMT Total Posts: 8 | I uploaded the .8xp file and it didn't work. Do I upload levels to the archive or RAM or does it not matter? |

@Andy - I re-installed my windows a year ago and file extensions were displayed by default...
