That's really impressive!

New HDX crossplatform server, and HDX hardware design discussion
Willsy replied to ckoba's topic in TI-99/4A Development
An object file is a very good example of a file that you might want the server to recognise. It would present the file to the TI as a DF80. This would permit cross assembly with no intermediate file conversion steps. Text files are another example. Present them to the TI as a DV80. In fact, if the TI *creates* a DV80 over the wire, it might even be a good idea to create the file as a .txt file, permitting simple editing in PC land with a text editor. -

But you only install it once! Just like you install classic 99 once or win994a once. After that you double click a batch file and it's running. Emulator users are well versed in having to manage disk files and disk images and ROM images. Running a python program will not be a problem! :-) -

Python is completely trivial to install in windows, and often comes pre-installed on Linux platforms. Is not a big deal. -
Today, assembly language programming is an advanced topic that one normally doesn't encounter unless one was on an advanced degree in computer science or processor design. In my day, we taught it to school children. http://www.usborne.com/catalogue/feature-page/computer-and-coding-books.aspx All the above books, written in the 80s are now available for free download. All of them are masterpieces. An equivalent simply does not exist today.

Brilliant! Any chance of getting the OO source doc? :-)

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I boobooed somewhere. I'll fix it on Wednesday. I'm in Oslo at the moment.
-
Cool. That might be a better starting point than theirry's work.
-
I think if you just fill it with alternating upper and lower 8k banks it should work fine. For what it's worth, TF writes to 0x6002 to select bank 0 and 0x6000 to select bank 1.

If the RAG manual is a better starting point I'm happy to look at producing it as a nice linked and tidy PDF. Do we have the text files?
-
If Thierry got it wrong then it's also wrong in manual that I posted, since it is based on Thierry's text. I could use a collaborator!
-
The first post in this thread has been updated with the latest version of the GPL manual in PDF format. It looks pretty good now. Still some more work to do on it, but it's not far off, errors notwithstanding.

OT: How to disable annoying Widows 10 upgrade nag box

This program does what it says on the tin: -
I've updated the GPL manual. I'll post it tonight.

I think it's just the graphics data that is in grom
-
Wicked. Pretty jazzed about this!
-
Cool. Maybe you can add the game to the built in apps when you have time :-)

Just reviewing the history of this thread. I guess I'll have to eat my hat since I managed to embed TF and Jetpac in a cart
-
Is anyone going to do a cart run? If so, I'd like one please!
-
I have 2 PEBs and I need a third so if anyone in the UK has one going...

The green character in the castle doorway. Is that a nod to the great Gazoo?
-
Wow cool! Go Apple II dudes!

So in the TI's case, pascal is running on a virtual stack based cpu coded in GPL which is a software based virtual CPU running on the 9900, a 3mhz CPU!
