[Game conversions suitable for TI]

Turtles could be good ... saw that on the Spectrum, very colourful.

 

Other games in my opinion which would work are;

 

frenzy.jpg Frenzy .... this is the Colecovision version

 

berzerk.jpg Berzerk .... now, this game has already been ported to the Commodore Vic 20 and C64, and both versions are very good, but it could be argued we might end up with an equally good version for the TI99 , as with Frenzy

 

(unless the 4-sprites-in-a-line thing lets us down, in that case it would be do-able for F18A)

 

 

 

We have bezerk/frenzy

[The what can I do for the TI-Community weekend.]

Experience shows most people are bums & leeches. Usually a core group of 20%-30% carry the rest.

 

I wouldnt say bums and leaches.. but the nice thing about this group is that the 20% seem to be about 80% of who's left around playing with their 99/4as

[HDX question]

wouldn't to lanTronics devices do the same thing 1 on the PC one on the TI?

[512K Cartridge Status]

I decided to have a small number of the 512K ROM-only boards made (20 of them) for experimentation purposes. They came out very nice, as the picture shows--and the price was very reasonable, as I paid about $7.50 each for them.

 

Did you use the gerbers?

 

Greg

[HDX question]

Sounds over-complicated

 

two pc's

two ti's

two serial cables

wifi on the pc's

shared directory for ti files

 

Couple XP pc's can be had probably for free

TOTALLY WICKED!

[HxC Floppy emulator alternative - GoTek]

I have two of these, one was the super cheap pc one, the other is the one programmed for the amiga off the code from the page above and the other for the peecee.

 

They do raw fat translation, so unless you are writing PC floppy images your SOL. The code could be changed to support TI formats, like he did for ADF files for the Amiga, but it would require that code change.

[TI Related -- Ebay / Heads Up Notice]

 

?!? What's the issue? Something, I obviously do not know!

 

My V2 won't work correctly in my f18a console, the stock console works fine.. Gets errors loading programs that use 32k.. and can't load the f18a updater on it.

 

Greg

[TI Related -- Ebay / Heads Up Notice]

Hmmmm. Never saw the nanopeb listed. I think I want a v2. A more modern uart.

 

do you have a f18a in your console? If so you might want to hold off on the v2

[A New twist on Pac Man?]

Hi all !

I'm new to ti99, how can I run MIRROR-C on classic99 ?

 

Extract files to a folder.. folder DSK1 would be easiest as it's pre-configured as DSK1 in classic 99

load classic99 - insert extended basic, select extended basic on boot menu, type in RUN "DSK1.MIRROR-C"

(with the "s)

[OT: Dumping Thread]

 

I came across a post somewhere explaining how to modify the Amiga so that the internal drive become switchable between df0 and dfx. I plan on doing that mod once my HxC drive comes in so I can boot adf images straight from it. BTW, I ended up scrapping the A1000 and acquiring a nice A1200 instead.

 

Nice.. I liked the 30 bucks price of the gotek over the 100+ for the hxc

[Jungle Rajdeep - Best game this year...]

I have played this game.. warthogs ate my face

[Joysticks & the TI-99/4A]

Probably clean up with some baking soda and peroxide

 

Hygroden Peroxide and Baking Soda

Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixed together form a paste that can help remove rust stains. To create the paste, add hydrogen peroxide to baking soda and mix. You may need to add additional hydrogen peroxide to achieve an oatmeal-like thickness. Use a sponge or small paintbrush to spread the paste over the rust stain. Leave on for at least 15 minutes and remove using water and a dry cloth. Depending on the size of the stain, you may have to repeat the process. Make sure the surface is completely dry after removing the rust.
