NspireCX:Do I need to leave BtMg in the ndless folder after installing ControlX?

So I've installed ControlX (wew that was a spooky process), and I'd like to delete BtMg because I don't want to accidentally screw anything up with it. I don't fully understand the purpose of BtMg or how it works though, so I don't know if I need to keep it around. Thanks.

JamesV releases TI-84 Plus CE port of classic SQRXZ game

In 1996, a PC game called SQRXZ came out. Released by Maze and Hojo, it was later ported to the TI-85, TI-86 and TI-92 by Jimmy Mårdell and later to the TI-83 and TI-83+/84+ series by Solignac Julien and became a classic on ticalc.org. In 2015, it was ported to the TI-Nspire CX by gameblabla, along with SQRXZ 3 and 4. But now, the TI-Z80 ASM version has finally made its way to the TI-83 Premium CE and TI-84 Plus CE! game is inspired from Mario serie...
