Total Posts: 6 | I downloaded Doom89 and sent all the files onto my calculator.
They are all archived and in the "doom" folder. I also downloaded the hw3 patch since I am a Tit. user. When I try to run Doom by typing doom/doom() it says Error: Program not found. What am I doing wrong? |

If you have an 83 or 84:
Get MirageOS
Send it to your calculator
Run it, and use 2nd to open the MAIN folder and 2nd to select the game you want to play (DOOM). |

I've been out of touch too long to be any real help, though, sorry.

My archive does not have any more room to have them all... even after the garbage collection archive error. I have doomfgx1 and doomfgx2. How will I be able to fit any more on the calculator?
Also, Do all files need to be archived or unarchived for it to run? |

Total Posts: 6 | Should the hw3patch file be archived right along with the other files in the "doom" folder?
Well all that can be unarchived and/or removed under Var-Link includes:
MAIN folder-
calculus:28924
math1:2643
math2:1719
math3:2400
science1-3: 4000 each
tiinfo:1987
polydata:142
Pre-Apps? There are tons of apps I don't now or don't use, but I don't want to risk getting rid of something I might need tommorow if you know what I mean aha.
Even if I got rid of all the Var-Link it wouldn't be enough to make room for 7 more 64k files... |

Total Posts: 6 | I redownloaded the newer version and had enough room to get everything except doomgfx5, doomgfx6, and fatlib. This time I typer doom() and it took about 4 seconds saying "Busy" got me thinking it was going to work. When it ended up just saying "done" along with "Error: no matching engine found". HELP! lol |

Total Posts: 6 | ** Hooray for "haveacalc" ** I did a clear memory which got rid of tons of apps. I didn't need allowing for enough space to get all the files onto the calculator. I simply typed "doom()" and everything ran just fine! Problem Solved.
Doom89 is hard to play, just need some getting used to! |
