4. Navigate to the chosen games folder
5. Drag all files onto the calculator that are needed (Note: In the README files, they often state what you need to drag onto the calculator)

Other apps can be found by searching "TI-84 Plus CE programs" on the internet and several should come up Note: Programs that you wish to install must be for the TI-84 Plus CE, not another type of calculator as these will rarely work.

2. On the calculator delete the memory by going [2nd]→[+]→[7]→Scroll right to ALL→[1] (Press All Memory)→[2]
3. Go to the "Default Calculator Setup" folder and drag all files into the calculator
4. After files have been transferred, install Cesium following steps outlined in its README document in the "Shells" folder

App Naming

Various apps may have unusual names that would benefit from being changed within the calculator. Further instructions will be located in the README.md files located in each folder.

Apps not included

Due to various reasons, several apps may not been included in the "All Files" folder located within each program type. These may be due to:

• Large sizes
• Perceived low-quality
• Or a large amount of customisation when installing the app
• Are proof-of-concept programs

Using the Apps

Standard Instructions:

1. Press the [prgm] button
2. Select your program using the arrows
3. Press [enter] twice to use the program

If Cesium is installed:

1. Press [apps] to get to the apps screen
2. Open "2. Cesium" by scrolling down using the arrows and pressing enter twice
3. Select applications using the now-opened Cesium shell

Instructions may be found either in the program or if not, navigate to the "Other" folder, find the game and read the Readme file if available. If neither is there, try playing around with controls to learn them.

Programs not to be run

Some programs are parts of other programs and are not designed to be run as standalone apps. While these usually don't affect the calculator, it is best to leave these alone.

Additions to Programs

Various programs allow for the addition of level packs or textures to be added to their default functionality. Each of these is explained within each program part found in the "Program Additions" folder.

Archiving/Deletion of apps

If your calculator starts to run out of RAM, you may need to archive some apps, moving their location from RAM to storage This can be done using the following steps:

1. Press [2nd][+(/mem)]
2. Select "2:Mem Management/Delete"
3. Select "1:All..."
4. To switch between archive (ARC) and RAM, press the enter button while hovering on the program
5. To delete programs, press the [del] button while hovering

Alternatively, if the Cesium application has been installed, it is recommended to use Cesium by going into Cesium, hovering over the app and following the steps there.

Note: If uninstalling programs, many will have AppVars used to hold highscores, progress, etc. Usually these are relatively small and should not be deleted in case the program is installed again. However there are also many AppVars used to store different parts of a program and is not related to any save states. These are usually quite high in terms of size and may be deleted without repercussions should the game be installed again.
