Extract text from TI-82 programs (82P)
To convert 82P programs to another format, you need TI-Graph Link or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Calculator Program" file type, you need software like TI-Graph Link or a similar tool.
A .82p file is a program specifically formatted for the Texas Instruments TI-82 graphing calculator. These files contain variable data and logic written in TI-BASIC, a proprietary programming language used to automate calculations or run games on the device. While users often attempt to open these files in standard text editors like Microsoft Notepad or Visual Studio Code, the content appears as unreadable gibberish because the commands are stored as binary "tokens" rather than plain ASCII text. This tokenized format saves memory on the limited hardware of the 1990s but creates a significant barrier for modern archiving or sharing.
To view or edit the source code without a physical calculator, the most practical workflow is converting the .82p file to a plain TXT or PDF format. This allows for easy printing, grading, or debugging on a PC. For users looking to migrate legacy code to modern hardware, converting .82p to 8xp (compatible with the widely used TI-84 Plus series) is a common requirement.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 82P file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted 89P, 86P and 89Y files.
If you want to convert 82P file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use TI-Graph Link or similar software from the "TI-82 Calculator Program" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to 82P, try TI-Graph Link or another comparable tool in the "TI-82 Calculator Program" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 82P converter.
