Full Version: Loading .prgm files to the Prime
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.

So, I've found some programs I'd like to run on my Prime (emulator and hardware). I've downloaded them to the PC. How do I get them into the emulator or hardware Prime?

Thank you,

all i can tell you is : GOOD LUCK

this part of the hp prime : communication part / usb / pc connectivity
is tinkered, the engeneer who do it is probably a crazy man.

wait the next release, hp know they have do a big mistake about it

copy your file in the folder C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Roaming\HP_Prime

1st way : launch the emulator, go on the program editor and click on send with your calc connected.

2nd way : open the emulator and the connectivity kit, open the program, copy the code, create a new program on the software for the real calc where you paste the code, save. It is on your calc. I gonna create a picture showing that.

FWIW, there have already been multiple threads about that topic in the past few weeks :)

I put a shortcut to this directory on my desktop so now I can just drag and drop into it and the programs appear in the Connectivity Kit.

True but if you are a new user it is still convoluted a He**.
I think the idea of putting a shortcut on the desktop is the best work around for now,
Note: I think once you get the file on the emulator things seem to be OK,but delete it from the emulator it also deletes it from the roaming directory.

I agree, it is convoluted.

I like using text files (encoded in UFC-8) to transport files between the computer and the Prime emulator/calculator. If I get a chance, I going to transform a .prgm file to a text file so I don't have to hunt for the appropriate spot to copy a .prgm file.

Hopefully with the next Connectivity Kit, we get the ability to import and export files to and from the emulator/calculator directly.

...but! The .prgm files are not text/edittable!

Help!?

Thanks for this response. CANNOT figure out why I didn't think of it myself! I drag the .hpprgm file to this icon on my desktop, open up (or close, then re-open) the emulator. The file shows up on the emulated calculator EVERY time! Thanks again.
