Help with games for TI 84 Plus Silver Edition?

I just got a new TI-84 Plus SE and I have been loading a bunch of games onto it. I use the mirage os to launch them. But I have tried to play Super Mario and The King of Fighters onto my calculator, and I have a problem. It appears in Mirage OS and I can launch it, but the text is all slanted sideways and so is all of the elements of the game. It works fine, but it isn't really playable like this. I have tried clearing the RAM and giving it all the memory it needs, but it still doesn't work. Please help.

    It seems that you're one of the unlucky ones with a faulty LCD display driver. Most likely the problem is that your LCD driver is too slow, so MirageOS is using a refresh rate too high for the driver to handle.

    You can try this fix: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/366/... however there is no guarantee it'll work for everyone. If it doesn't, you'll just have to cope with it, return/exchange the calculator (if it's still under warranty), or wait until a better fix comes out.
