+jedimatt42 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 So, a fresh batch of F18As went out recently. I managed to grab 2. I've upgraded my working console with one, and then this next weekend, I'm hoping the second will just fix what looks like bad VDP ram in my second console. The first thing that struck me, is that now all the emulators look more like real iron But my favorite new software feature is 80 column editor in fbForth. My next favorite new thing is how it makes this old TI look like college era Sega when you run the ALEX KIDD cartridge demo. What is your favorite app/feature/aspect that changes regular real iron usage of your TI? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I only really play games on my TI so my F18A is used mostly for graphical prowess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 great. Yes, a Cartridge-Compilation with some "online-stuff" would be cool. Maybe all Telco´s, PTerm, FastTerm,Triad, Stuarts Browser, TE-II, maybe BBS for playing, some diagnostics, a DiskManager, DU2K for showing DSR, and and and But I think I can tinker that myself, with my blank UBER-Board and BOOT ? I need more practise on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
