+'''Method 1 Standard link emulation:'''
+* More likely to run out of RAM, but should be more compatible. Also this is required for apps with external levels.
+* From the home screen, click [2nd] [LINK] [F2]. The screen says Waiting and the busy indicator in top-right is spinning.
+* Tap SEND on the touchscreen. Use D-Pad to scroll through the files, and press A to send a file.
+* After it returns to the GUI, you can either:
+** A - Send another file.
+** B - Stop sending files (tap ON key a few times to stop transmitting).

+'''Method 2 MagicLoad (TM):'''
+* Nice when it works. Similar to the archive on other TI models, it will load a game from your SD/CF card, run it, then save it back when it's done.
-From the home screen, click [2nd] [LINK] [F2].
+* Make sure LOAD.85S is installed on your calculator, along with Usgard 1.5 (These are both pre-installed if you use the included save-state).
