+remowilliams Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Figured I'd cross post this here. You can view it online, or download the entire PDF (registration is required though). PDF is OCR'ed for text searches. COMPUTE!'s Programmer's Reference Guide to the TI-99/4A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I have the spiral bound hard copy, but a digital copy is GREAT for reference!!! Thanks alot!!! Edited April 9, 2010 by Opry99er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telengard Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Very nice! All this great scanning is a mixed blessing for me. If my wife finds out she might be "suggesting" I don't need the dead tree versions any more. Thanks for all the hard work! ~telengard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 WOW! This is seriously helpful for someone who's sitting at the TI keyboard for the first time. Thank you very much for this, and all the others! Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+retroclouds Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Excellent work! I will add a reference in the development resources thread. I'd really love to see a PDF scan for Compute's Beginners guide to assembly language on the TI-99/4A. The hard-copy of the book is pretty hard to get by now and there are close to none good beginner tutorials on TMS9900 assembly language available.

+RetroElectroDad Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I found a PDF of Compute!'s Beginner's Guide to Assembly Language a while back after trying to buy a copy for ages. Not sure where I found it but I don't remember it being easy and unfortunately it is not text-searchable. Anyway, I've uploaded it to Scribd at the link below.

COMPUTE!'s Beginner's Guide to Assembly Language on the TI-99/4a Thanks for putting this online! This is the only book I'm aware of that specifically addresses TMS9900 assembly language for writing games. It covers the Mini Memory line-by-line assembler, which I personally wouldn't use when writing arcade games for the TI Nonetheless, the book does cover the basics on Sprites, Sound, TI graphic modes.

I looked around for some free or cheap OCR software to do it but it all seemed to be a bit on the expensive side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like FreeOCR for, well, free OCR. It's a nice Windows front-end implementation of the Tesseract open source OCR engine. See if it suits your needs.
