well since you're all cheering for it on the ti89, i'll say "YES this is a bad ass game for the TI-92+"

hmm i kinda regret having this 92+. no one makes games for it anymore :( ..

Just you wait... heheheh... the TI world is getting a flush of absolutely stunning games. But the revolution isn't over yet... ...

Hmmm... I wish I had an 89. Too bad it would be a felony for one of you happy 89 owners to e-mail me your rom for an emulator, no matter how much I was willing to pay (hint, hint)

The 89 uses FLASH rom, which means you can download an 89 ROM from ticalc.org's website. Simple download the windows version, then unzip it, the .tib file is the ROM.

where are the roms located at ticalc?

Go to TI.com

Will that work with a ti-8x emu? Doesn't it come as an .exe that's set up to flash the ROM over the graphlink?

Just D/L the 89 (or 92) Flash program from www.ti.com, and right click it. If you have WinZip, it should give you the option to extract it to a directory. Extract it to wherever, and the .tib file is the ROM. I don't know if it works with emulators, or if you can send it to your calc with a parallel link.

Now, I have a question. I backed up my calc with nothing on it with WinTran. Now, I have a file called "code.89G" Is this the ROM? I opened it up with wordpad, and on one of the first lines there was (among other trash)the string "TI-89 Advanced Mathematics Software". I am guessing it is the ROM. Does this work with emulators? Which one is the best?

A .89G file is not a rom, but a "group file". It is a file that contain many variables. In your case, after your backup, this file may contain every variables you had on your calc.
And if it is not empty though your calc memory was, it should be because there are some hidden-variables that are always presents. Maybe I'm wrong ?...

Ty

First, the .tib file IS the Rom. and yes, it does work with emulators. i've used it with Virtual TI 68k. If you have a 89g file, that shouldn't be the rom. The 89 and 92+ don't have REAL backups. they just take every variable and stick it into a group file. I've ungrouped backups before, so that's that. Any questions?

TI gives out free 89 ROMs - click web page
then d/l the program and unzip it - one of the files is the rom

THXX
(roughly translanes to "thanks!")

Oh, great now how long is it going to be out??
since others know??? that wasnt very bright of telling it public, I that a long time but didnt open my mouth. Now they will probably change something!

It's already been said, and one of the things in quotes.txt for #ti is something like "TI gives away free 89 ROMs!".

Where! I need it! I want it! I must try out Street fighter!

At www.ti.com/ calc/docs/ graph.htm
(ignore the spaces, it's the 25 character limit)
that's the main page for graphing calcs

That would be illegal. Hint Hint. Cheap scum!

Hmmm... I could see how one could get confused, but I just reread the previous 10+ articles, and I got the impression that Texas Instruments hands them out for FREE!!! This means it's not illegal to ask for them. They are being handed out for the very fair price of $0.00.

I don't know though, that's just me...

Freeware vs. free software. The ROM is free software.
Freeware can be downloaded and used for free. It can also be freely given to anyone by anyone (everybody) (loosely stated).
Free software can be downloaded and used for free. It may not be freely distributed by everybody (again, loosely stated).

I understand what you're saying. So TI wants TI-89 owners to download it from_their_site. But if Texas Instruments truly wanted to prevent their ROMs from being thrown around and emailed to God knows where, they would not post them up for grabs on their own site!

(Unless no one working there has ever heard of an emulator...)

Of course, since I'm going to be tethered to my computer anyway, I could just dig up that old copy of SF2 Turbo that I got for my PC way back when, and have color and sound etc.

Yea, but try to get away with playing that during your math class!
89's are great!
