Okay im using rom8x in order to obtain a rom so that i can use a virual calc. problem is i have no idea how to pack roms or for that matter know the importants of packing a rom. I read the readme but i still dont know what im doing. the only thing i did do was put the program on my calc run it and sented back the Appvar and did it for both programs. Beyond that i have no idea what im doing.
Here the link to rom8x:

Alright: Here's what you need to do (I'm assuming you're on a Windows XP, only because that's what I have. Also, I'm assuming you have an 84+se.) :
1: Start -> Run -> type "cmd"
2: Navigate to the folder you want. To do this, open that folder and read what it says at the top. (Like C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Calc\rom8x mabey) Then type cd and the name of the folders you want to go to.
For example is cmd starts at "C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\" then you'd type cd My Documents\Calc\rom8x
3: Type rom8x 84PSE -u TI84Plus_OS230.8xu and press enter. It should work. :)
Good luck!

I'll elaborate a little:
- Make sure that the program rom8x, your appVars, and the OS File that contains the OS you want in the ROM are in the same directory
- Obtain a command prompt as detailed above
- Use "cd" to get to the correct directory, also as above
- Run this: "rom8x model -u OSFile", where model is 83PBE for 83+, 83PSE for 83+SE, 84PBE for 84+, and 84PSE for 84+SE. OSFile is the name of the file containing the OS mentioned in step 1
- You should now have a ROM file in the same folder. Good luck!

Search for cmd.exe in Windows menu to get a command prompt. |

Also, if holding down the windows button and pressing R gives you a window that says "Run" (I don't use Vista), just type "cmd" (without the quotes) in that window and press enter to get a command prompt |

Copy this very simple code into a TXT file and change the file extention to .BAT. Then put it and the dump in the same folder as Rom8x.exe and run the BAT. It should work: Code: ECHO OFF
CLS
IF NOT EXIST rom8x.exe (
ECHO rom8x.exe not found!
PAUSE
GOTO EOF)
ECHO What calculator model do you have?
ECHO 1 - TI-83+
ECHO 2 - TI-83+ Silver Edition
ECHO 3 - TI-84+
ECHO 4 - TI-84+ Silver Edition
SET /P M=Type 1, 2, 3, or 4:
ECHO %M%
IF %M%==1 (
SET M=83PBE
SET R=83Plus.rom)
IF %M%==2 (
SET M=83PSE
SET R=83PlusSilver.rom)
IF %M%==3 (
SET M=84PBE
SET R=84Plus.rom
)
IF %M%==4 (
SET M=84PSE
SET R=84PlusSilver.rom
)
ECHO Executing rom8x %M% -1 %R%...
rom8x %M% -1 %R%
PAUSE
:EOF

Try moving the ROM into the same folder as the rest of it. |

i think there is a problem with the batch.
for some reason it's asking for the rom. it should be asking for the first part of the dump. |

I think he already has the rom from the dump in the folder 84Plus. |

Wow, do I need to read the documentation more carefully. Sorry about that. This code should work, but keep in mind that I don't have a dump to test it with right now. Code: ECHO OFF
CLS
IF NOT EXIST rom8x.exe (
ECHO rom8x.exe not found!
PAUSE
GOTO EOF)
ECHO What calculator model do you have?
ECHO 1 - TI-83+
ECHO 2 - TI-83+ Silver Edition
ECHO 3 - TI-84+
ECHO 4 - TI-84+ Silver Edition
SET /P M=Type 1, 2, 3, or 4:
IF %M%==1
SET M=83PBE
IF %M%==2
SET M=83PSE
IF %M%==3
SET M=84PBE
IF %M%==4
SET M=84PSE
ECHO What is the name of your OS file?
SET /P D=Name:
ECHO Executing rom8x %M% -u %D%...
rom8x %M% -u %D%
PAUSE
:EOF
