(Why is this categorized in this weird category? O.o)Is this about the 84CE or the TI-84+ ? For the latter there is MSD8X which I used a lot. Useful program.

Useful program.Because I didn't see a better category. Feel free to change it if you think there is a better one. I have used msd8x. It doesn't work with usb-b's.
Note that you can make a regular mini B plug into a mini A plug by shorting the pins together with a small ball of aluminum.

You could easily short out the data wires or even the power ones and that could damage your stick/calc.

I would rather spend 3€ on a proper OTG cable than ruining my hardware (note that you are dealing with external +5v @ >= 500 mA, which can screw up your calc badly if you short them out against the D+ and D- wires).
