APB 99/4A Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 This post up date by iPhone so will be short, I did update of status on the first post site march 16 with problems with speech box. To add to that info the speech works fine with Alpiner cart but still will not allow E/A cart to work with Expanded MEM error. Hum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Try it with and without the speech synth... (If I'm not mistaken, you indicated in the other thread that the speech synth might be problematic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm assuming that is an editor assembler option #5 program loaded from diskette? Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 If you have a disk containing an E/A opt #3 or #5 program, you can try loading it up... if there's no error, boom, you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APB 99/4A Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have cart that is it. No #3 or #5. I assume that 3 & 5 are versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APB 99/4A Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 We can try something for 30 min need to be at work in hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Sorry... let me explain. To run programs in E/A, you need to have them stored somewhere... Typically this would be in a diskette. To PROGRAM in editor assembler, you either need the E/A disks or some alternative, like Funnelweb. ALSO loaded from diskette... do you have diskettes?

Opry99er Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The "#3 and #5" are simply options... EA option 3 is "LOAD AND RUN", option 5 is "RUN PROGRAM FILE"... .These are two different types of disk files you can run. Most games are option #5.

APB 99/4A Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ya not sure yet what I have in disks, have about 100 over here. I think most of what I have is xb like the above program. Will look at disks after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
