Okay I need you to answer some questions before I can continue to help you.
1. Do you have any linking software [installed] and an appropriate cable, i.e. TI-Connect w/ the USB cable, or TI-GraphLink with either the Gray or Black cables?
2. Do you already have files/games that you want to put on your calculator? (I have to ask for the sake of asking)
3. In the readme for the games, is there any shell or kernal that is said to be needed to run the game?
If I don't get back to you right away, there are others who can help you the rest of the way. |
spiral Wraith Posted: 26 Aug 2003 20:35 GMT Total Posts: 958 | btw, i would note for that you probably should consult the FAQ webpage that is shown in the opening page to the forums. You probably could answer the basic question of how to get games (since it's probably the most commonly asked question besides, linking related questions) |

liquid ghost Marine Posted: 2 Sep 2003 19:52 GMT Total Posts: 31 | I was checking out the games for the TI-89.I was a bit puzzled.first , where on the website do u download the games.second how many games can the TI-89 hold.third is how do u get the game from the website to the calculator?like i said before im new.....LOL PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!! |
BullFrog Wraith Posted: 2 Sep 2003 20:06 GMT Total Posts: 623 | First of all, welcome to the world of the 89. Second, read the FAQ, like it states on the home page of the forum. Third, there is a tab at the top of the screen titled "Games". Click on that, select the 89 section. Download what you wish. Then unzip 'em, and send them via graphlink to your calc. If you do not know what a graphlink is, or do not have one, you'll need to get the games from a friend or someone who also has an 89.

BullFrog Wraith Posted: 5 Sep 2003 17:02 GMT Total Posts: 623 | No problem. Once they're on your calc, you'll need to go into the Var-Link menu to access them. (Or just type them into the command line...)

BullFrog Wraith Posted: 5 Sep 2003 19:14 GMT Total Posts: 623 | Hehe, no I'm not an admin. Though I do admit I wouldn't mind... But I'm usually in calculator discussion, yes. I just check the active topics and browse through them till I find one that interests me or something.

BullFrog Wraith Posted: 6 Sep 2003 17:28 GMT Total Posts: 623 | Well, if I was made an admin I wouldn't be able to do much. All I do here is post stuff in the forums. So yeah...

Billy Ultralisk Posted: 7 Sep 2003 20:31 GMT Total Posts: 260 | Just keep in mind being an admin takes a lot of work. Work includes time, effort, and skill. |
BullFrog Wraith Posted: 8 Sep 2003 09:24 GMT Total Posts: 623 | Wait a second. So I'm an admin now or something? Lost me there in the conversation.

Posted: 8 Sep 2003 10:03 GMT Total Posts: 1051 | Z said to check with me and B. So far I haven't needed much of the admin features but as a convieniece it is nice. Right now I'm leaning toward yes, but I'll hold off my final decision for a couple days, nothing personal.
Do you often find news that you want to post (good news)? |
spiral Wraith Posted: 8 Sep 2003 17:54 GMT Total Posts: 958 | I agree with D, admin features aren't really something I use every day (maybe once a month or two at most). OFten there is good news, but ti-news which is (from it's title) a lot more news-based than we are, and posts a lot of news. I'd rather people go there and read it than post it up re-phrasing it here. |
BullFrog Wraith Posted: 8 Sep 2003 19:48 GMT Total Posts: 623 | Well, hypothetically speaking, if I did become an admin what would I be required to do?
Is that question about news directed at me, Dig? If so, not really.

Posted: 9 Sep 2003 10:22 GMT Total Posts: 1051 | Yes it was Bullfrog. Being and admin implicitly requires you to participate in what you can and help other out, basically what your doing now. It also gives you moderator controls which have not been necessary lately since everyone has respect for our boards. |
BullFrog Wraith Posted: 9 Sep 2003 20:25 GMT Total Posts: 623 | Well, for the news thing, I find some pretty good stuff every now and then. (I post it over at ti-news.com. (Jeremiah Walgren.))
