I've begun adding the old Calc.org archive to the site. We have permission from Ben Trettel, who has been very helpful in the process thus far. I have started with TI-86 Assembly Games.

If anyone would like to help with the process, you can do it by testing the files being added as well as making sure all of the information is correct (in the right directory, file size is correct, author is correct, the file works, etc...).

We MIGHT ask for the help of some special archivers for this process (there are about 3000 files that will be added).

I have tested several TI-73 games from that archive...

They. Suck. Badly.

If you want someone to test games, I will be willing to do so. My extensive collection would be very helpful to the cause... :)

I'm not sure how PHP will be helpful, since they just need people to test the games and make sure all the info is correct. Plus the site uses Perl, so if any coding was done it'd be using that.

Your right PHP has no use once so ever for CG. I was simply stating that I'm not stupid about langagues (With the exception of english), and I have the mental capacity to understand what you guys may throw at me if you want me to help archive some files. If you guys don't want my help I'll be more then happy to test stuff too.

Well, there is a very long list of files that need to be tested on the home page under "Recent Files" (a little over 200 files).

I'd help test files with my 84+ SE, but you doubtlessly already have several people with 83-series calcs and don't need any more headcount.

For some reason, I'm unable to connect to ticalc.org.

You don't have testers with 83s or 84s? ZOMG.

Well, I'd be glad to help. Um...are these files just jumbled under the 83 file section?

Alright, I added some more files... TI-85 Usgard Games.

So, if anyone has a TI-85, bust it out, dust it off, and start testing!

NorthCal Fishing, Mega Racers, and Picross all have invalid pic URLs.
