I have tetris and phoenix downloaded and ready to put onto my calc. I followed the instructions given by the readme on both zip folders and they dont seem to do anything. Can anyone help me, and tell me how to put these games onto my calc?

Ignore the part that doesn't look like a TI-89. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:02 GMT Total Posts: 16	Nope, I got that. I just don't know how to put the games into the calc and make it work.
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:20 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Are you using a black 89 or a Titanium? Titanium: Look at this. 89: You'll need a link cable that will plug into the computer, not just the calc-to-calc one that looks the same on both ends. If you do have one that fits into both your calc and the computer, then I don't understand what you're having trouble with. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).

haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:38 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Open TI Connect... --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:39 GMT Total Posts: 16	check, open TI connect. (mind that I'm trying to get phoenix onto the calc.)
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:44 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Now open the Device Explorer. Is your calc detected? --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).

haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:49 GMT Total Posts: 1111	With your mouse, drag the file you want transferred from wherever you see it on your computer to the Titanium. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:52 GMT Total Posts: 16	drag what file and to where?
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 21:57 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Well, if you want to put Phoenix on your calculator, then that's the file to drag. In the Device Explorer, there should be a collapsible folder list, starting with "TI-89 Titanium" or something like that. Drag Pheonix to "TI-89 Titanium" and release. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:02 GMT Total Posts: 16	only the phoenix file? what about the asm files?
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:05 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Nope. You don't need those. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:17 GMT Total Posts: 16	it's the Ti connect program right? right next to the phoenix file? cause if it is then it's still not working when I type in phoenix on the home screen
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:20 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Install HW3 Patch, then Iceberg. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:22 GMT Total Posts: 16	OK, i got it on the calc now and every time I type in "phoenix()" onto the homescreen all i get is "done" what now?
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:23 GMT Total Posts: 1111	Did you run Iceberg after you put it onto the calc? --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:28 GMT Total Posts: 16	so to put iceberg i only need to put iceberg onto the calc right?
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:30 GMT Total Posts: 1111	And run it... But before you do that, run HW3 Patch, like I said. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 9 Sep 2007 22:57 GMT Total Posts: 16	i already have 3.10 on my calc i get a "error" unsupported hardware version" when i try installing hw3 patch will it prove to be a problem if my hardware is 4.0 and not 3? how do I archive preos? Alright so far I have successfully installed Hw3patch and iceberg onto my calc. What now?
haveacalc Guardian Posted: 10 Sep 2007 09:55 GMT Total Posts: 1111	If you can't just run Pheonix now, then run Ghostbuster on it. --- -quoted directly from most movies that don't exist (and some that do).
Xphoenix Ultralisk Posted: 10 Sep 2007 16:32 GMT Total Posts: 210	To archive stuff, go into the var-link menu and press [F1] + [8] to archive it. HW3patch should work for HW4. Phoenix should run without any assistance. Where did you get Phoenix from? --- ~Xphoenix
Rickyroko Marine Posted: 10 Sep 2007 21:00 GMT Total Posts: 16	I just found another phoenix and ran that just fine. Now tetris is not even working. it says "ztetris not found" when i type in "tetris()"
