Joemakerman Marine Posted: 15 Jan 2008 15:55 GMT Total Posts: 15 | I have 2 questions:
1. I was reading a reply to another thread somewhere around here, and a guy said "BASIC games won't show on MirageOS Automatically" or something like that, which gives a hint that you can get basic games to show up. I have a few basic game son my Calc, so is it possible? and if so, how?
2. Deadeyes shows up on Mirage, but I exec it, and the screen flashes but comes right back to Mirage. How can I get it to exec properly?
Thanks in advance, -Joe |

Example:
PROGRAM:BLAH ::"COMMENT G OES HERE :Disp "FUN P ROGRAM"
prgmBLAH would show up in MirageOS with a comment of COMMENT GOES HERE
I don't exactly know how to help you with the second problem...

even in assembly the program is unarchived by MirageOS once you run it |

Also, check in the readme to see if you have everything needed (and enough RAM).

It worked! When I originally tried, I had a few programs on RAM that took up too much space. I went and put them compatible with Mirage and then Archived them, and it worked. Thanks for the help guys.

Press [2nd][DEL][enter] to move the line down Press [up arrow] Press [alpha][.] to place a colon. Type a quotation mark and a program description up to 30 chars DO NOT end description with another quotation mark
