If anyone would like to help with the process, you can do it by testing the files being added as well as making sure all of the information is correct (in the right directory, file size is correct, author is correct, the file works, etc...).
We MIGHT ask for the help of some special archivers for this process (there are about 3000 files that will be added).

They. Suck. Badly.
If you want someone to test games, I will be willing to do so. My extensive collection would be very helpful to the cause... :)

I was simply stating that I'm not stupid about langagues (With the exception of english), and I have the mental capacity to understand what you guys may throw at me if you want me to help archive some files. If you guys don't want my help I'll be more then happy to test stuff too.

Well, I'd be glad to help. Um...are these files just jumbled under the 83 file section?

So, if anyone has a TI-85, bust it out, dust it off, and start testing!
