Gazoo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) So why isn't this loading? I added the following to the clasin99.ini file: [userCart0]name="632k"; *** 632k cart - Doesn't appear to work rom0=g|6000|A000|MODS\9800g.BINrom1=g1|6000|A000|MODS\9804g.BINrom2=g2|6000|A000|MODS\9808g.BINrom3=3|0000|80000|MODS\BackwardsROM3.bin.BIN The attached files are in the \MODS directory. [deleted attachment=337888:632k cart files.zip] I start classic99, select cartridge, select user, and select 632k. I only get TI Basic as a menu choice.

I even tried it with just the first Grom file, and that didn't load. Thanks for pointing out the extra '.bin", that must have happened when I was changing capitalization of the filenames, which didn't help. Do the files go directly in the \MODS directory, or some subdirectory under it? Gazoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've stopped the too-long-beep after pressing a key for menu selection. Problems remaining: Corcomp Diagnostics and Navaronne Disk Fixer don't consistently start, don't know why yet. M-Copier won't start. Myarc Disk Manager 5 will only start if there is a peripheral with WDS in it's dsr entries, not really a bug but I thought I'd mention it before someone else does.

Dumb typing mistakes on my part. * Typed 'D000' instead of 'DD00 for M-Copier loader. * Typed '04606000' instead of 'BF0060000FF0' for Corcomp Diagnostics and Navarrone Disk Fixer loaders. (Thought I was in CPU instead of Grom.) Corrected and fully working Classic99 zip is attached. 632k cart files.zip Gazoo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senior_falcon Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Here is a rather strange request for a feature that I would like to see added to Classic99. On some of my computers the image is razor sharp, with well defined square pixels. On others the image is slightly fuzzy. This old laptop has a screen that is 768x1024 and it has that fuzzy image. Maybe I'm a little strange, but of all the image filtration schemes that Tursi has included, I prefer the fuzzy image to all others. The characters are softened up just enough so that the hard edges are gone and the image looks right to me. It reminds me of the actual image that a 4A gives on a composite monitor but is a bit sharper and has no artifacting. Am I the only one who feels this way? I suspect it wouldn't be hard to add an option for this - it must have something to to with a mismatch between the monitor resolution and the resolution output by Classic99.

Gary from OPA Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 There should be a font here on Atariage that allows us to type our forum posts in nice sharp 5x7 pixel letters! (hehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hehe) Maybe we can get them to add it. Of course, then the Commodore guys and the Atari guys and the Apple guys and the Sinclair guys will want theirs, and it all goes to hell at that point (I have not been successful in getting this or any other TI font to work in the Windows command line.

atrax27407 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Tursi, Any thoughts about our discussion at the Chicago Faire? You were going to consider being able to toggle between F18A and V9938 support. You mentuioned that you thought you had the 9938 emulation files.

Tursi Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Few quick points before bed You can put module files anywhere on your file system, just specify the full path in the ini. Relative paths work relative to how you start the app. "MODS" is just a suggestion. Is the "TV Filter" not fuzzy in the right way? I have neither the F18A nor the 9938 implemented, so switching between them is premature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospect Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Am I right in thinking one way I can write something in XB to "support" F18A in classic99 would be to switch the toggle on "Flicker" option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Noting that the end user's F18A may be hardware configured to only allow 4 sprites on a line like the 9918A, turning off 'flicker' probably should still be associated with the necessary register writes to configure the F18A to allow all 32 sprites on the line.

artrag Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Does anyone has studied and emulated the content of the last 5 bits of the status register of 9918A ? According to some early tests the 9918A keeps counting the planes of displayed sprites and showing them in the last 5 bits of the status register while no 5th sprite condition occurs. If 5th sprite condition occurs, the vdp sets the flag (bit 5), freezes the value of the last plane in overflow in the status register, but if you read it twice in the same raster scan, the second time you will get again the plane of the last displayed sprite.
