Now, scroll down to said program: there should be a star (multiplication sign) by it. Hit enter to make the star go away and unarchive the program. Now, run the program again and it should work. If it gives an "ERR:SYNTAX" message as soon as you try to run it, that means oyu need a shell for it, so download MirageOS from here. |

im sorry i didnt mean that. go tot the home screen and press [2nd] [+] [2] and scroll with
the arrows to the program you want. hit enter. If there is no * next to it, it is
unarchived. try to pay the game while it is unarchived by going back to the program menu
and running the program.
if that doesnt work your question had been addressed here in our faq.

Total Posts: 1189 | ok then that means its an asm game. go to catalog (hit [2nd][0]) and choose Asm( and hit enter. then hit [PRGM] and choose your program and hit enter. it shoudl say:
Asm(prgm<Name>
hit enter.
if THAT doesnt work put the star back on them all and download mirage os from this website. its a shell and should be easy to find. get that onto your calc and hit apps and mirage should be on the list somewhere. select it and hit enter. after a loading time (dont worry it wont freeze) it will display a list of games you can play.

Total Posts: 2007 | So, in order to run the games, you must do EXACTLY what I said in the second part of my above post. The "ERR:MEMORY" screen appears because you don't have enough RAM (random access memory) to move the game into, so, you must unarchive/delete things. In order to do this, you must go through the steps I have listed above except when it says push enter by the program with a star by it, press enter with the programs without a star by them to archive them, freeing up more RAM, or delete them by pressing the [DEL] key when next to them.
And 3fg, don't ever call the n00bs dumbarses; it tends to scare them away, which is not what we want. |

Total Posts: 70 | Unless its an unlocked BASIC game, then it would probably be rather difficult (if not practically impossible) to make Mirageos see the program. It shouldn't matter fi the program is archived or not, just as long as its MirageOS compatible it should show up in the list of files that it shows you. |

Total Posts: 16 | What about the games that don't run in Mirage OS? Because I have that armies of Rhun demo, and it doesn't show up on Mirage OS. When I try to archive it and run it from the PRGM menu, like any archived game, I can't play it. so what about the ones that don't show up in Mirage OS? |
