Just kidding. I believe that pictures can only carry numbers for their names. Pic9.8xi, for example. But you don't want to change it, because it'd most likely mess up the game. So I really don't know of a way to help you. Sorry.
The only thing I can think of is to try a different linking program to send the files.

So you can try TI connect from the CD you should've gotten with your USB graphlink cable, or you can download it off their site. I, personally, like to use TiLP with the USB graphlink. You can get it from ticalc.org (pub/win/link). I'd suggest installing and using the old MFC version instead of the newer GTK. (It's easier to use.) But whatever floats your boat.
As for ion, it is a shell that is required for those games or programs that say they need it. You need to have this installed on your calculator to run those such programs. However, MirageOS is a whole lot better. (http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/flash/)
