It may happen that the file is not properly loaded, and so you have to try again.

To manage applications already loaded in your TI-92, you can use the VLINK menu.

You can find many applications on http://www.ticalc.org/ and on the official TI ftp site ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/graph-ti/calc-apps/92/

5. LOADING KEY MAPPING FILES

If you want to modify the default keyboard mapping between DINGUX Keys and TI-92 keys you can write your own mapping file. Using notepad for example you can edit a file with the .kbd extension and put it in the kbd directory.

After writting such keyboard mapping file, you can load them using the keyboard menu.

6. COMPILATION

It has been developped under Linux FC9 using gcc with DINGUX SDK. All tests have been done using a Dingoo with Dingux installed To rebuild the homebrew run the Makefile in the src archive.
