Also, try archiving the programs you load onto you calc, that way resets won't clear your data. Check out the TI-Faq link either on the forum homepage or links page if you don't know how to archive files.

Total Posts: 5 | I have a TI- 83 Plus Silver Edition model. I was using Mirage0S for my shell. Just an example of a game was Oregon2 or Sniper. All of my games are archived. I have downloaded three games today and one has stayed on if that helps any. Thanks |

Total Posts: 5 | When I transfer games to my calc. I Save it to my Documents, un zip them then right click on them and go to send to. After that it gives me a bunch of options and I go to conected TI device. It gives me the option of saving to ram or archive. Which should I save it to? Thanks |

Total Posts: 2486 | Yeah, I've already seen many people having trouble running basic games from Mirage. I'm not sure what exactly causes this problem, but since you can run basic games directly from the program (PRGM) menu, you should just do that. Save files to archive, though, some programs won't run from archive so you'll need to unarchive them. Basically, that's what Mirage is supposed to do, but since it seems to be buggy (i guess) you should just unarchive manulally as needed. For some reason Mirage doesn't seem to handle basic games correctly and you aren't the first one to encounter this problem...

but then, if you simply unarchive your BASIC games, and run them through your prgm menu, it solves your problem... |

Total Posts: 2007 | Yes. install ION, then run everything from MirageOS, except BASIC games. For those, its best to unarchive them, run them from the prgm menu, then archive them if needed. BASIC games can't even compare to assembly ones, though. |

Total Posts: 2007 | cause programs like prgmMARIO need to have ION installed to run, but Mirage OS is an App, and therefore better.
BTW, i have TI-OS v1.16 [latest, i think], and it doesn't screw up Mirage and BASIC programs. |

Total Posts: 134 | in my opinion, those who program assembly games aren't really calculator programmers. i see them as computer programmers whose creations just happen to be for a calculator. basic programmers rock! |

Total Posts: 958 | PhilsopherEd,
Basic programming is higher level and thus is MORE similar to programming for computers, where you use high level languages such as Java/C++/etc. Assembly is very very low level programming. Basic shares much more similarities to Java than Assembly to Java or C++.
Assembly language is quite different from computer languages, so the skills required to be a computer programmer and calculator programmer are very different. If you like basic programmers (because that's all you can do) that's ok with me, but don't make false statements. Programming in assembly is far harder, but much more advanced, and more powerful than basic. |

Total Posts: 80 | There are some issues with previous versions of MirageOS. The problems with BASIC programs have are fixed in MirageOS 1.2, which should be released shortly. I'll have a news article up on it when it is released.
And thank Dan Englander for the answer. I'm not too familiar, myself, with the 83* calculators. :) |
