How do I put the program into my "TI 89 Titanium" after downloading?
After downloading I cant find out how to do.
For instance I downloaded tetris.zip, but what now to do? |

I checked FAQ but all I found was this:
Can I play TI-89 games on my TI-89 Titanium?
Answer:
Yes, although you need several different programs for this to work correctly. You have to run hw3patch first, and then run GhostBuster on the program. hw3patch (Hardware three patch) unlocks some of the data available on the calculator, and GhostBuster simply patches the programs themselves.
These programs are only intended as a temporary solution until the program author (hopefully) makes their programs fully compatible with the 89t. Also, please keep in mind that both hw3patch and GhostBuster require the user to read their extensive documentation before attempting to run them, as they require some special syntax to run, among other issues that you'll need to learn about.
I downloaded the two programs it mention, extracted them and transfered them to my calculator. Then I found a program called tankers for 89T and transfered that one.
- But where on the calculator do I open the programs? (and have I done things right?)
Fact is I don't know how to do, and just had this calculator a few days ago, and would like to have some small games on it.

"..................Done"
and
"no PPG prg" (with very small, in the bottom.)
When I downloaded the file.zip - then what was I supposed to do? |

Total Posts: 210 | In the VAR-LINK menu, there are abbreviations after each name, such as "MAT" and "PRGM", explaining what type each file is. I'm going to guess you tried to run a PPG file, a packaged program. There were probably two files in the ZIP archive you were supposed to send, a .89z and .89y. The .89z is the launcher and the .89y is the data. You need to send both, and run the launcher ("ASM"), not the data ("PPG").
As many programs use this compression, it's easier to install something like Super Start so that you can run the PPG files directly without needing a launcher for each game.
[ EDIT ]
Seeing as you have downloaded the HW3 Patch, you should run that first.
