- Be sure to check out @calc84maniac's (the creator of the TI-Boy CE emulator)'s channel as well! Without his work this obviously wouldn't be possible!
This video describes the process of installing and playing both Gameboy and Gameboy Color games on the TI-84+ CE/TI-83PCE (Python) calculators! It also will explain how to setup the required jailbreak on your calculator if it needs it.

Thanks for watching!
on my state assessment we are allowed to have calculators so instead of freezing in a room for 3 hours i had fun playing donkey kong and pokemon red. Thanks bro 🙏
This is the only tutorial that actually made sense and im thanking you for that
Thanks! I'm glad it helped you out :)
You mentioned Nintendo's name, prepare for a dmca takedown! Great tutorial!
Uh oh 👀
Thanks for the kind words!
Still standing
easiest lawsuit against Nintendo if they do lol
Excellent video! Can’t wait to see more videos on this sort of stuff :D
Awesome tutorial! I was pretty cautious considering i would've been burnt on a stake if i bricked a calculator i got a day ago; but on the upside i have pokemon and calculator things on MY calculator
Haha, I'm so glad you got it working!
Teacher: Calcutators are used for mathematic purposes only!
Meanwhile TIny_Hacker in the back of the class:
Thanks! I finally no longer have to worry about any existential questions I get during during break cuz I don't have any friends. 😅
Very clear and concise! Nice video!
Good Tutorial. You Got Straight to The Point and Made it Easy To Understand.
Hey when I go from CabriJR to artifice, it says no ASM programs found
your vids are really really really well done
Thank you! It means a lot to hear that :)
Tysm for this! Really clear and editing is great
Dude this is so awesome, thanks for the great tutorial!
Glad it helped :)
Math class finna be lit with this one
What happens when you have 5.2
5.2 is okay, though I'd recommend using 5.3.0 (nothing newer though) as it is more convenient and can run programs from the archive. You can download 5.3.0 on TI-Planet here: tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=1138252
I had an issue while opening the game again, where the calc. said I needed 2355 more bytes of ram to access the game, I saw a comment relating to this subject, but I still cant figure it out. (I'm new to this kind of stuff...)
I guess the TI-84 Plus CE (Python) can also be your Game Boy.
Sorry to bother again but mine says missing app bar when I select the rom
Hmm, my guess is that you didn't transfer all of the AppVars from the converted ROM. Try sending them all one more time and let me know if it works :)
@@TInyHackerCalcs I’m genuinely just dumb. I didn’t realize I had to install all of the links, lol
@@enochodu8816 oh lol no problem, hope you got it to work!
I keep getting an error when I hit program. It says ERROR: ARCHIVED Unarchive the variable before use.
Any tips? I’m on 5.2
You can't run archived programs on 5.2 and older. Try upgrading to 5.3.0, which will not block assembly programs but allow you to run archived programs still. Here's a link to download 5.3.0 for the TI-84 Plus CE: tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=1138252
Will I be able to download back any other files such as espanol and frances if I delete them?
You can always re-download language files from Texas Instruments or TI-Planet later.
Thank you very much
@@TInyHackerCalcs thank you
I see your using this on windows 11. Is it possible to do this on MacOS?
Indeed! It'll basically the same, just make sure to download the macOS version of TI-Connect CE as opposed to the Windows version :)
Thanks
everthing went well and i was playing red but then everything stopped working and I cant connect my calculator to my laptop and its saying its busy. It froze on the artiface screen when I was opening artiface shell
I think i have stuff working but its saying i don't have storage when I should have more than enough. i just bought it and its the python version which I even deleted python to clear up space. I've deleted so many things but I cant download the roms
somethings wrong with the archive storage even though it says I have over 2000 kB available. i deleted everything to try to redownload for the 3rd time but now some files wont download aswell. I can’t download all of the things you showed now dude to archive storage issues.
I had everything sorted apart from the rom but now all the files won’t download due to the archive storage issue
@@john_2k332 You need to delete your old ROM, which will be a bunch of appvars, if you don't have space. Try pressing the reset button on the back if the issue still persists after that.
@@TInyHackerCalcs I’ll press the reset button but I have deleted all of the files I’ve downloaded onto it. I should have space but it says that my archive is full
my ce software is saying that the bundle type isnt allowed, what do i do?
Are you using the ChromeOS version of TI-Connect CE? If so, try using the bypass documented here: ceme.tech/t17238
Im trying to download my rom file but whenever i attempt to do so it says "Error: a .gb/gbc/rom/zip file is needed" even though ive already tested this file and made sure it worked. Any fixes you know of?
Is your ROM for Gameboy or Gameboy Color (Not GameBoy Advance)? Are you sure that the file name ends with .gb or .gbc, not something else? (Just to be safe)
@@TInyHackerCalcs Wow I am so sorry I just noticed that they were gameboy advanced files, thank you so much for the help this guide was amazing, and sorry again.
@@tayzeo Oh, no problem! I'm glad it was just a simple mistake because I wasn't sure what the issue would've been otherwise 😅
Not necessarily related to the GameBoy but I do have a question about other games (got the GameBoy on the calculator btw it’s awesome)
I see that people have downloaded doom and Five Nights at Freddy’s on the original TI 84 Plus. Is there a way to download games from TI84plus for the TI84 Plus CE? And if not do you know where there is a port for those 2 games on the TI84 Plus CE?
Thank you!
Sadly, the answer to both questions is no :( However, there are still a lot of other games for the TI-84 Plus CE!
@@TInyHackerCalcsDarn. Maybe I should start a petition for it lol
@@Flahgybro😆
either this doesnt work anymore, or im doing something wrong, what rom website do i use?
I have the ti connect program downloaded and I have all the files but for some reason the files won't go over when I drag them onto it in ti connect
Are you on ChromeOS? If so, try the fix documented here: ceme.tech/t17238
Question how do I put the asm hook in I try to put the whole zip file in and it dosent work saying that the files are invalid
I also did the top files
+when I open apps caliber jr and on artiface it says no asm programs found.
For all of these you need to put in the 8xp and 8xv files from in the zip, not the whole zip file.
@@epicdude7468 This is probably because you didn't send ASMHOOK yet.
@@TInyHackerCalcs Oh I already figured it out tysm tho.
Is artifice and stuff safe to install? I would still be able to use my calculator normally, right?
Definitely! I even use it on my own calculator :)
I tried everything but all of my programs are locked I want to use it to save txtfiles but on cesium and asmhook there is a lock and can't use it
I'm confused. You can't edit Cesium or ASMHOOK, but you can create new programs.
I have been trying to download the files on the TI connect Ce and it won't work but it allowed me download the Cabri Junior
Are you using the Chrome OS version? You may need to use the Windows or macOS version of TI-Connect CE.
When typing in the game (for names) how do you delete a letter if you make a mistake?
Are you talking about when you convert the ROM? I think backspace should work.
i’m gonna ask my mama to buy me this for school, please wish me luck xD
Good luck lol!
Please help me. I'm on a Ti-84 Plus CE (Python)
I've installed (And ran) ASM and Cesium and Artifice. I simply can't run TIBOYCE for some reason.
nevermind, firgured it out haha
@@conordeegan8758 Glad you got it working :)
I deleted files to free enough ram, the calculator how has over 6000 bytes, but the game still says it requires 2355 bytes, can you please help me?
Try archiving files in the RAM instead of deleting them. It's also safer to have your files in the archive instead of the RAM so they do not get lost if your calculator crashes or is reset. To archive files, you can go into the Memory menu by pressing [2nd] and [+], and then go to the option for "Mem Management/Delete...". After that, go to "All...". You can scroll through your files there, and any file with a star next to it is in the archive. If there's no star, that means it's in the RAM. If you press [enter], the file you're currently selecting will toggle between archive and RAM.
is it supposed to come with roms cause i dont know where to download them
Ik this is really late but evertime I try to add the celsuimand the other one it says “one or more files was invalid and could not be sent to the calc”
PLEASE HELP😭
@@nm11157 are you using Chrome OS? Sometimes that causes an issue and you need to use Windows or macOS. You can also try the ticalc.link/ website if Chrome OS is your only option. Also make sure to extract the zip file first and send only the 8xp and 8xv files, you might already be doing that but I know some people missed that and had issues.
@@TInyHackerCalcsI downloaded all 3 and checked the files for each. None of them have 8xv files etc
I looked in your replies and Ik to download the zip files first but they don’t cross over saying it can’t be or it’s invalide
@@Celestial_2016 you also have to unzip the zip files before sending, not just download them. If you try to send a zip file before unzipping it it will say it's invalid, that might be the cause of the issue?
@@TInyHackerCalcs I will try this when I get home🗣️‼️
Are there any programs for calculus I tired to get the ultimate calculus collection but it did not work?
In what way did it not work?
@@TInyHackerCalcs it said that the program was not meant for the ti84 plus ce
@@Jacob-ji8jg It was probably for an older calculator. You can look here for ones for the TI-84 Plus CE: www.ticalc.org/pub/84pluscse/basic/math/
Are the games easy to exit out of quickly? Like hypothetically if I wanted to mod my calculator and play games in class I could easily exit and open them?
If you press the [on] button, it will exit immediately.
thank you, I can now play tetris while I'm bored :D
Mine is says
ERROR: ARCHIVED
Unarchive the variable before use.
2nd Mem; Memory Management
I tried manually unarchiving TIBoyCE and all other files but nothing worked
After I unarchive TIBoyCE I get a syntax error instead of archived
What OS version are you on? You can try upgrading to OS 5.3.0, which you can download here: ti-pla.net/a1138252
Be sure not to upgrade above that though! Let me know if it works :)
@@TInyHackerCalcs I was on 1.15 and that was the problem thank you!
@@cdhp1 Glad it worked for you!
does this work with non gameboy games????
Sorry, I'm not 100% sure what you mean. The emulator only works for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. (Not DS, GBA, Switch, etc.)
So for some reason, after downloading the roms and pressing 2nd/enter, it says “Error: Invalid AppVar” what’s happening, and how can I fix this? Thanks!
Hmm, maybe try deleting the AppVars (including the ones for TI-Boy, not just the ROM) and sending them again? Are you sure you were able to correctly send all the AppVars or only some of them?
OMG THANK YOU SM IT WORKED. also great tutorial btw!
@@Sunny-nx8bx Glad I was able to help!
Thanks for the awesome info, where did you download the mario rom?
Update I found and downloaded the mario rom for super mario bros deluxe for the gbc but it doesn't open properly. I know I have more than enough space.
My emulator acts as if it were an original gameboy showing Pokémon silver in black and white and straight up not allowing me to play Pokémon crystal as its a GBC exclusive, any solutions?
Are you using the latest version? You can also try adjusting the palette or other settings.
@@TInyHackerCalcs It was an older version, it was a direct download from someone else’s tutorial, I’ve downloaded the latest version and it works, thanks!
@@MagnetonPlayer_2 I'm glad it works for you :)
Yes but what about Switch games?
Hmm
I sent the files to my calculator, but why won't it appear in programs? It says it isn't a calculator program
@@mat.2763 were you sending the 8xp / 8xv files or the zip? You have to extract the zip first.
@@TInyHackerCalcs It is a TI-84 Plus CE bundles file
@@mat.2763 ah okay, the files in there aren't programs, they're data for the ROM needed to run it. To launch the ROM you have to open TI-Boy CE and select it from the menu.
@@TInyHackerCalcs Ohh, okay thank you I found it!
@@mat.2763 Glad it works!
When I connect my calcuator It does not show on TI Connect CE but it does show when I use it on TI Connect. I'm using the TI-84 Plus CE
That's really strange! I'm not sure what the issue is. Does it show up in TI Connect CE if you use a different cable or computer? (If you have one you could test it with). It might still work with TI Connect, you could try that too.
@@TInyHackerCalcs I found the issue I had to plug the cable in the back of my PC lol
Glad you got it to work in the end!
It doenst allow me to dowload Cesium, it said 1 or more files were inactive
Try downloading from here: github.com/mateoconlechuga/cesium/releases/latest
how many gb of games can you put on the calculator with the USB stick
As many as the USB stick holds, but keep in mind that if the games have multiple files only the main file can go on the USB and the subfiles have to go on-calc.
Ok, im lost. How do I get Cesium and Asmhook on there? No files are accepted by TI connect.
@@Carteboy sorry, it is a little confusing! Did you extract the zip files for Cesium and ASMHOOK first? They should have the files which TI Connect will recognize.
@@TInyHackerCalcsThanks! I got it. Great tutorial! Now I just have to delete every program I actually need in class to make space
@@Carteboy Hahaha glad you got it working!
does this also work on a TI-84 plus? or does it have to be a Ti-84 plus ce
If you want to do it on the TI-84 Plus, you'll need to follow a different tutorial and use TI-Boy SE instead of CE: www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/419/41990.html
thanks!
doing this bricked my calculator and now its stuck on a ram cleared screen
Try holding the reset button on the back of your calculator, that should fix it. Nothing in this tutorial should actually "brick" a calculator (rendering it completely useless is pretty difficult even if you're trying to) but a RAM clear is always possible I suppose.
Why does it say ARCHIVE FULL?
Probably your archive is full. You could try deleting some files or apps you don't use to free up space!
@@TInyHackerCalcs I got my TI-84 Plus CE 10 min ago out of box what could i even delete? Your fast at responding btw 😂
@@lastsurvivor898 TI-OS comes with a lot of default apps that you might not use and take a lot of space which you could delete for now. It could be also you're trying to send too many games, sadly the game boy ROMs are really big for the calculator so you can only fit one or two on it at once. Also yeah I do my best to respond fast at least if I'm around or awake lol 😆
@@TInyHackerCalcs Just looked it was my ROM size the one game was just too big
@@TInyHackerCalcs Thanks for the help!!!!!
where can i get the ROM, ive looked everywhere and can't get it, pls help
Sorry, because of piracy laws I'm really not supposed to say. However, you will probably find something if you keep looking.
is it normal for your ti 84 to slow down after installing these apps and roms?
My calculator completely froze and wouldn't let me turn it off after my computer told me I couldn't transfer cesium and asmhook to it
Could you tell me your calculator model and OS version? If it's a CE you can try pressing the small reset button on the back, otherwise try removing the batteries.
@@TInyHackerCalcs 5.8 I’ll do that when I try again later thanks
@@TInyHackerCalcs nvm im dumb i had to unzip thank you for the w tutorial
@@OminousVoidV2Glad you got it to work!
ti connect keeps saying cesium and asmhook are invalid and cannot be sent to the calculators
What calculator do you have and what version of TI Connect CE?
what do i do if center and hexaedit arent there when i run artifice for the first time
That's fine, those are just programs I have on my calculator.
This is a great guide and i got it to work, but im wondering is there anyway to possibly have 2 games in the emulator, One works but there isnt enough space for another so is there any programs that could be deleted after setting it all up for more memory?
Often built in TI-OS apps can be taking up a lot of space, you can delete ones you don't use and see if that helps.
@TInyHackerCalcs I tried to but maybe crystal is just a big game? Is cesium and asm hook still necessary after installing? Same with artifice? Either way thanks for the reply
@@randomuser3260 Cesium and asmhook along with artifice should stay, and they aren't too big either. Crystal is a really big game, so you probably won't be able to fit two games with that. If the other one is smaller, possibly, but that depends. Sorry there isn't a better solution :/
I accidentally pressed "restart game" when I was playing pokemon gold, is there any way to get my progress back?
Restarting the game should only reset the ROM, so if you've ever saved through the in game menu you should be able to select continue when the game starts up.
@@TInyHackerCalcs I don’t think I ever presssed save game. Is there any way I can go into the files or something and try to find it?
@@mattjang4515 If you didn't ever save the game, you can always try loading one of TI-Boy's save slots if you ever saved that.
@@TInyHackerCalcs is that in “losd state slot”
@@mattjang4515 yes, that should be it. Hopefully that works!
it says there is a error with amshook and cesium
Could you tell me the exact error message displayed and a little more detail on what caused it?
ty great vid :)
dose anybody know how I could get Mario on the calculator? I don't actually own the game.
piracy
can you give us some links we can find those games?
Im getting an error everytime I open the game (missing appvar [whatever I named the program]R00) I have other gb games that work fine. any fix?
Did you make sure to send all the files to your calculator? Try sending them again.
@@TInyHackerCalcs Thanks, I realized I didn't download all of the files 😭
what if it says files invalid
You need to use arTIfiCE.
i did
@@SackofJaweaAre you running the program through arTIfiCE or through the OS program menu?
i went to cabri junor then opened arTIfiCE@@TInyHackerCalcs
when i opened arTIfiCE it says no asm programs found!

Yup, that will work too :)
@@TInyHackerCalcs :)
Do i extracted the Cesium and Asmhook files?
I also tried just sending the zip files to the software and that didn't work.
@@RehanKhan-bd5dh You need to extract them before you can send them.
thank you, but i already got it to work.@@TInyHackerCalcs
Pokemon crystal would not work for me due to its size
Yeah, some of them are big so you may need to delete other files you have on your calculator first.
I tried and it said i need 2309 more bytes@@TInyHackerCalcs
Excelente, xD
It can still be used as a normal calculator right
Yes
TYSM!
Error: encountered a runtime error!

Do you have Casio CG50?
No, but there's an emulator for GB/GBC games called prizoop and you can probably find a tutorial for using it somewhere.

@@TInyHackerCalcs lol thanks! Also is their a limit on the amount of games that can be on the calculator? How much storage does it have?
@@Umariskool As far as Game Boy games go, usually you can only fit one or two on at a time. However, there's also a large number of games you can download from sites like Cemetech that are specifically made for the calculator, and you can usually fit like 30 - 50 of those as they're more optimized to the specific platform.
can someone pls give me some rom website
cesium and Asm hook dont work
Can you explain more? In what ways do they not work? I can't help without any detail.

Anybody know how to pay these games but using a flash drive? I added a lot of roms of gameboy games on to a flash drive and put it in my ti84 but they arent popping up on my tiboyce menu
Sadly, the way that Cesium works doesn't let the calculator see appvars or subprograms on the flash drive.
Do you know what games i can play on the flash then?@@TInyHackerCalcs
@@realworld-uy8uzYou put the main TIBOY program on the flash drive and then put the AppVars in the calculator storage.

As an upcoming freshmen this is very helpful
what do i do if i get the arTIiCE shell and it says no asm program found
It probably means you didn't send all the other files in the video. Try following the steps to send TI-Boy CE again :) If you're using them, also send ASMHOOK and Cesium.
when I added the rom I choose When i pressed enter to run it in ti boy it says No ROM currently loaded and it wont let me run it
i got it to work I'm dumb
Does the ROM show up in the TI-Boy menu?
@@TInyHackerCalcs nvm it works i just didnt press 2nd on the game i just pressed 2nd without choosing a game
For some reason when I try to install cesium or ashmook it says one or more files invalid
You might be running the programs from the TI-OS program menu. You'll have to run them through the arTIfiCE shell instead.
How do I do that
@@JackMahan-k8jOpen arTIfiCE in CabriJR and select the program, then press enter.
@@TInyHackerCalcs I did that but how do I send it through artifice. I just sent it to the calculator

so where can we get the ROM files?

Are you using the latest version of TI-Boy CE?
@@TInyHackerCalcsI figured it out. I reinstalled to the right version and it didnt work but it was because of the save file. i needed to relaunch the game

bro your a legend i watched like 6 vids and couldn't get it to work and yours was by far the best thx soo much
Thanks so much! It means a lot! I'm glad it helped you :)
Thanks so much! very good tutorial 🙏
do you know how to factory reset the calculator and wipe everything from it
If you go into the memory management menu ([2nd] + [+]), then select option 7 (Reset), you should see an option to reset the RAM, reset the Archive, or reset all. You're probably looking to reset all. Hope that helps :)
how do i delete games after i've downloaded it
You can delete the appvars that begin with your ROM prefix that you set when converting. For example, if you set it to something like "PKMN" then you delete all the appvars starting with "PKMN"
@@TInyHackerCalcs Thanks, I just got Army men: Sarges army 2 and it's cool seeing a game on a calculator
I followd another tut for games but those where not many and fun games but i dindt had to jailbreak? I went to asm(prgrmand them the game i wanted to play, but if i do this wil it be necessary? I have the TI84 CE-T
You only need to use a jailbreak if your OS version is 5.5 or greater. You can check this by pressing [2nd] and [+] to open the mem menu, then scrolling down and clicking about. It should list the OS version there. I don't think you need the jailbreak if you already were able to run ASM programs, you only need it if the calc doesn't let you.
