| I can't seem to figure out how to send levels for the ion program Mario to the calculator. I use Ti-connect software, since I don't have any com-ports, and it always says "Incompatible Type" and doesn't send it. Even if I put it in a group it won't work. How can I get around this? |

Google "TiLP".

Yeah, TI Connect is full of issues like this. If the slightest thing is wrong with a file, TI Connect will throw a completely irrelevant error and not let you send/receive it.
TiLP has its own issues, but it does work. |

| TiLP won't work. It always complains that some file is missing even if I reinstall it. Is there any other software that works? |

| make sure you're not mixing up files for the regular TI-83 vs. TI-83+. They may seem related, but a program for the regular 83 won't send/work on an 83+. Note that the 83+, 83+SE, 84+, and 84+SE are all compatible with each other, just not the TI-83. |

There seem to be a lot of Mario levels with invalid names according to TI-Connect. Graphlink would always give me the option of changing the name, but Ti Connect just gives you a stupid error.
Too bad you don't have any COM ports, graphlink really is the best program imo.
I would suggest trying other levels, not all of them have this problem. |

Are you using this version of TiLP? It comes with the USB driver needed and the installer can automatically install the GTK+ 2.6 libraries, I think. You may need to uninstall the old TiLP2 and maybe TI-Connect too ("It's strongly recommended you uninstall Ti-Connect(tm) / Computer Link(tm) before installing this software because the USB drivers are not compatible." - I have TiLP and TI-Connect installed on my Windows XP computer, but I use a black serial cable).

| Okay, now I have another question, although this one is just about problems with Mario. I got some extremely hard levels from ticalc, but sometimes they behave oddly. Occasionally, it quits out of Mario back into MirageOS very fast, and leaving Mirage causes a crash. If I go back into the game, the screen stays on but nothing happens, and pressing second causes the screen to turn blue. Of course, I pulled a battery as fast as possible when this happened. Is the problem in the Mario program or the level? |

| I haven't heard of that bug yet, but I'm inclined to think it's something with the level. Not sure though. |
