syntax error.
If you have a TI-Graph Link and DOS or Windows:
Download and unzip romdump2.zip. - i got that
Send rom83.83p (included with romdump2.zip) to your TI-83. - i did that
Link your TI-83 to your computer. - i did that
Run romdump.exe (included with romdump2.zip) on your computer. I ran the romdump.exe, but it just closed right away...
Run the ROM dumper on your calculator. Your TI-83's ROM will be dumped to a file on your computer. - didn't get to that |

so you type it in exactly the way it asks... for example:
romdump TI83DUMP XXXXXXXX COM3 |

Total Posts: 465 | Jonny, I have two questions. a) What like cable are you using and b) are you trying to dump a "TI-83", or a "TI-83+"?
You can't dump the ROM if you only have the Silverlink USB cable. Only the serial and parralell links work. |

Total Posts: 61 | If you have the Silver link cable that connects to the USB port on your computer, you cannot do a rom dump. You need either the parallel link cable, which is a handmade cable that splices a cut up small calc-calc link into the parallel (printer) port on your computer. It's the big long plug in the back with a whole bunch of holes in it. The other option is the serial link, which is sold by TI and links into the serial port on the back of your computer (looks like parallel port, but not as long).
Although you may have used your silver cable to transfer programs to or from your calculator, it cannot be used for the rom dump. I am not sure if this is simply because no one has written a program to dump from the usb cable (which i suspect), or if it has to do with some technological limitation (which i doubt). |

You can already download the 84 rom from TI. That is what you are downloading when you get the new OS when they come out. I am fairly sure that the Flash Debugger which comes with its own emulator will work with the 84 series, right now that would be your only option.

Total Posts: 321 | With version 2.5 you can take pics of Mario just by lading Ion, Mario, and the cooresponding levels you needed. The same would work for the TI Flash Debugger Emulator.
For Version 3.0 of VTI you need to make a rom dump of your calculator with the files already installed on yur calculator that you will need to use since it only allows the installation of APPS and no other files. Other files will run if they are already included in the rom dump. |

How do you do that? Is there a bug for it? I still don't understand the whole rom dump thing. I did it once and never botehred with it again. I don't get how to get Mirage on there. I never used ION, so I dunno about that either. I can't get like Mirage onto the VTI. |
