I figured with a date of April 1st, there'd be some fun going on here.. LOL.

This game reminded me of Bump and Jump, Rasmus. Hehe

All I have to say is: Wow.

I'm sure that we can probably hack together a program very easily that can take a >=16K ROM image and flip the 8K banks. We can call it "The deinverter" LOL

I also emailed Bill Gaskill as well... so I'm hoping between him or Mike Wright, we can find a good 972. If not, then well, we're at the mercy of someone who might have one in their collection.

I sent an email to the author of the Cyc asking if he had an uncorrupted disk #972 he could re-image.

I'm amazed archive.org has that large of a collection, including the TOSEC (which is about every commercial program made for every computer in existence). It's almost like a huge 80's warez site. LOL https://archive.org/details/software

Looking for the MG Games I'm missing.... Night Mission Casino Blackjack Battle over Titan Crazy Fun House Alphabet Soup I already have: Blackbeard's Treasure Pharoah's Tomb If there are any others I'm missing, please feel free to let me know.... Thanks!

I just found some of these on archive.org if you any to try, Robert... http://ia601603.us.archive.org/zipview.php?zip=/16/items/Texas_Instruments_TI-99_4a_TOSEC_2012_04_23/Texas_Instruments_TI-99_4a_TOSEC_2012_04_23.zip

Got both the black and red boards in today, Ksarul - very nice job getting them re-laid out! Thank you! Let me know what I owe you. I need to restock some more parts at Mouser that I'm missing, most notably the sockets and some of the caps. Is there a cost differential between the 379 (128Kx4) and the 378 (512K) boards at all? I'm gathering if we just inverted '379 ROMs (every 8K bank), we can probably just stick with the 378 boards, as they can take everything. BTW, For the boards with the 0.1" two pronged switches... any good ideas on switches that might fit? I was just soldering wire and putting an external switch, but if there's a through hole 0.1" two pronged switch that's right angle, that'd be awesome. Too bad I can't search by hole distance on Mouser. FYI, attached is a very high resolution two-sided scan of both the boards Ksarul sent me. Enjoy.

I do have the Hexbus floppy schematics from Michael Becker. Be glad to send them to you.

Did the EPROM from the Hexbus controller for the /4A help with that any?

Is that Axel F you ported this Amiga MOD, Tursi? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9zmLQGBTIw If so, it's a pretty darn good port!

So, if you get the A1200 version, do you just permanently leave your top shield off if you use one of these? I do have their ACA1232 (40Mhz) version with clock in my A1200... couldn't ask for a better constructed board.

Just ran this in Classic99... sounds awseome! BTW, wanted to ask you about the maps for Road Hunter and Titanium - I see that you have INT/FIX 80 files in the archives; are these loaded dynamically so that you can update/load maps on the fly? Just curious.

That's the thing about the Internet - it can be as anonymous as you want it to be. If TI Sissy is or isn't the pictures he/she posted, then that's up to him or her. All I know is that there's been tension in between a lot of you TI stalwarts even in this thread. The problem is that I like all of you and am very thankful for all of your contributions. From Classic99 to TI Neverlander to TKGROM0, to DeZip, etc, all of you have contributed quite a bit. Please be nice to each other.

It was like when I was building the cartridge boards... I really didn't have an EPROM programmer and had to go out and buy one. That, and some other things (like a PLCC to DIP adapter). So yeah, it wound up being some money out of my pocket too, but the point was that it was *fun* :-) Unfortunately, as the kids get older, I have less and less time because of other commitments to "play around" - band, orchestra, piano lessons, confirmation, etc, all take time away from hobby time. I'm glad there aren't sports in there too.

Anyone have experience hooking one of these 15Khz converters up to a SGCPU (99/4P) or a Geneve? http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-GBS-8220-Arcade-Video-Converter/dp/B0051SLJAG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396011788&sr=8-1&keywords=gbs8200 If so, please share pinouts, etc. EVPC (from http://home.arcor.de/system-ninety-nine-user-group/evpc/evpc1hw.pdf) epvc2 (from http://home.arcor.de/system-ninety-nine-user-group/evpc/evpc2hw_e.pdf): Geneve: (from http://ti99.collosumus.net/ti99/hardware/gvideo2.aspx)

Amazingly, another guy is selling Amiga flicker fixers for the same inflated prices. Are these made of gold? http://m.ebay.com/itm/321340161083?nav=SEARCH

Holy USB joystick adapter, Batman... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-2x-Amiga-Joy-ports-to-USB-PC-Laptop-Adapter-Plug-Play-/110854220905?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item19cf6d2c69

I hate to diverge and topic hijack, but does anyone have the below in disk format already? Charlie Good scanned it for me, and put it up on WHTech - it's part of the original disk source of Munchman. It'd be cool to compare it to the GROM source code if anyone has it. Munch Man disk version source code.pdf

The clasps were a few hundreths off.. wouldn't have noticed it until I did the assembly to put the two halves together. I fixed it... so it's good now. Note, I only updated the bottom. Here's all the files attached again. tishell.zip

That is awesome! I did an assembly tonight with the two halves... and made a PDF of all the different views (and some sections). I think I found one problem; see if you can spot it :-) ticart.pdf

Are the 9128 chips simply 16Kx8 (i.e. equivalent of a 27128, or 16K apiece?) If there are three of those, then there's 48K combined of ROM and GROM code? i'm guessing the socketed chip with the green dot is a PAL? Edit: I saw that the N82 chip is this one: http://www.plccenter.com/buy/SIGNETICS/N82S23N - 32Kx8 - equivalent of a 27256, or 32K. I've never seen a ROM of that vintage in that DIP size. So, 48K GROM + 32K ROM?
