RXB Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I can fix that easy, funny never crashed with Classic99? And RXB does not crash REA does crash, so you confused them REA can get the File Counter changed to 999999 files, or just remove it from REA. But I was correct in that RXB does not have a file counter. Edited July 4, 2018 by RXB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Rxb2015 crashes if the directory has a large number of files. TIPI has no limit Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk OMG well found something interesting that started with GAMESHELF and TIPI. RXB does not count files so using CALL CAT("whatever") will work fine to catalog anything as it has no file count. So RXB does not care if you had 1 million files on a device to catalog. REA (RICH EDITOR ASSEMBLER) on the other hand will crash.....WHY YOU MAY ASK? Well REA saves all the file names so you can scroll up and down on them and uses VDP memory to show these filenames. Problem is not only does it save the filenames but the screen display so it can show everything as you scroll up and down to review them. REA is limited to memory not used for File buffers of Editor or Assembler, thus even at max about 180 lines from the screen, or will crash if it overruns that limit. I also found out ROCK RUNNER using EA5 uses TI BASIC routines to load, thus will crash as REA removed the TI BASIC SUPPORT routines for more GPL space.

Omega-TI Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well, I FINALLY have the physical aspects of my side-car version of my TIPI/RPi complete! For those of you who have not been following << MY BLOG >> I thought I'd post the video of the TIPI case here in case you would like to get a better view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36qLdGn9Lxc&feature=youtu.be&a= 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Okay, I'm sort of back into newbie waters again with the new P-Box version of TIPI with an issue I'm having, but when I mentioned something I missed (after removing the HDX), M@ graciously cued me in on something I should have known and should have thought of... but didn't... You can still share files with Classic 99 and Real Iron with TIPI's shared network directory. Thanks again M@! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 That's how I do it. Tipi folder shared with windows so I can develop in classic99 and immediately ru/test on real iron via tipi. I start my new Job tomorrow. Once I get acclimated to the new work schedule I'll be returning to my Zombi game with much needed changes AND working on a new game for the tipi that's a bit more advanced than a number guessing game like last time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) This got me thinking. I have tons of disk images that I can open up via 'Ti99Dir'. So why not save directly to the tipi as well from Ti99Dir! instant access to it as well. So I tested and it works!

TIPI by itself is great, with the P-Box even better. Still want to be able to save to DSK1 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 With the latest firmware update it fixed my issue to save to DSK1. I wish it would fix my issues here! Sure, I can save to DSK1 when I'm in Extended BASIC, but for some strange unknown reason I cannot COPY a file from TIPI to DSK1 using DM2K. It's so frustrating. Friday I'll have to re-organize everything, get ultra-specific on my batch files and make a new .HFE to store some things that do not work well on TIPI. As you can see from the images below I have the latest updated version, but I'm still getting the same error message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 This is what I posted in the dev thread ("you" != Omega.. but everyone) My latest fixes allow copying from tipi hosted filesystem to DSK1 on the TI floppy controller, by going into TIPICFG, and pressing 'M' for myarc mode... Then without shutting off the TIPI, go into DM2K. At this point TIPI doesn't have any DSKx's... Now you have just "TIPI." and "WDS1." and they are equivalent locations of the tipi hosted filesystem. But now the Level 2 io routines that are supported, are >4x instead of >1x names... So they are distinct from the legacy floppies. DM2K can copy with WDS1. as the source and legacy DSK1-4. as the destination. As well as the other way... Of course this may have other issues for you if you have a WDS1 already... I don't know... I can't even remember which piece of hardware provided that. It's all just myths and legends to me. In TI mode, DM2K can copy from TI Floppy controller DSK1-3 disks to DSK4, or tipi mapped DSK1-3 drives (as long as that isn't the same device name as your real drive). ------ So, in short, if you want to egress files from your TIPI, you need to be in Myarc/WDS1 mode. For ingress files and generally have a good time, TI mode should work. TI Mode is the power on state of the TIPI board... To be clear, when I talk about the TIPI... you have a TI, connected to a TIPI, connected to a PI... TIPI isn't the PI when I talk about the hardware... The System of software also gets spoken of as TIPI.. that spans the TI to the PI... So as long as the TIPI board is powered on, it should remember that you are in Myarc mode or TI Mode. That state is not persisted on the PI. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a compatibility issue with the Lotharek device. I don't have one so I can say for sure. Just doing some brain storming..

+jedimatt42 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Omega, I'm gonna add some webui access to debugging info, and then we'll have you try again and see what is happening inside. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I have added a menu item to the 'My TIPI' pull down on the web-ui, that will take you to a page that shows the logs ... Sadly, you have to reload the page to get log updates... but anyway.. the logs are extensive... so Friday when you have time, update the software from TIPICFG, attempt the copy from wds1.utils.setclock to dsk1. and then go into the webui and look at the logs. newest entries are last, so there is a goto bottom button. I should have time Friday evening to investigate anything you find. Hop into that slack channel if you want to do some live troubleshooting. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
