  1. and then there's Piratebay.org which I'm told has a whole lot of software for a lot of systems. although I never actually visit the site myself. 😉😉
  2. ah, scrub the whole thing. my silver/black has just gave it's all as a donor machine to fix some issues on the beige model. it's keyboard and cartridge slot are now part of a much more robust machine. but don't be sad, the old silver/black is in a better place now, a box in my attic.
  3. here's what I got. pilot works with classic99, mame & cf7. as I posted recently it mostly works now. haven't tested recent so might work right now? Pilot.zip pilot99.pdf
  4. looks like it might be a QI. I'll get that firmware upgrade this weekend and see what happens. thanks.
  5. cleaned both consoles cart ports the best I could. As for the silver being QI? not sure. wasn't there a PEEK that u could tell?
  6. OK, this is odd. When I put my finalgrom cart in my beige TI99 it works just fine. but when I put it in my silver & black TI99 the cartridge loses it's frikin' mind. the cart will lock up, shows garbage on the screen then eventually stops being a choice on the startup menu no matter how many times you reset, take the cart out or turn the console on and off. take the cart our put it back in the beige TI99 and it start to work just fine. any other carts seem to work normally in both consoles.
  7. what are some of the URI settings you TIPI users have set. I want to add some to my TIPI and a new section (someday) of TI99resources for TIPI and related items.
  8. discovered that alchemy yesterday and used it a lot so far. oddly PILOT still doesn't work but doesn't lock up. instead gives error 'can't find directory' which be easier figure out later then just a lockup.
  9. so far so good with CD. when it doesn't find a valid dir it lets u know without slowing things too much. nice addition. also likes echo back dir requested.
  10. I'm having no problems logging in with FTP into WHTECH with latest Win10 Firefox. also with CuteFTP I login as type HTTP website -FTP.WHTECH.COM user 'my email address', no password. been downloading files with no problem.
  11. thanks. still going over the documentation for tipi and forcecommand. I haven't looked in to the uploading a .DSK with the webui yet, but have uploaded TIFILES with much success. uploading straight from .DSK would save a lot of trouble of conversion.
  12. On my new TiPi I ran into my 1st (and so far only) program that doesn't want to run on the TiPi, PILOT99. Pilot99 use : in the names of the support files. when converted from DOAD to TIFILES Windows/DOS can't handle the : so changed to something else, in this case ;. when try to run Pilot99 it just locks. even tried using Filezap and search for references in the programs to the file name and change it but no go. any idea if and how to fix? in reality thou I probably won't be developing in the console anyway as I do all development for the TI99 on the PC. So no big lose if can't fix. everything else works real cool. the TiPi was also a breeze to set up.
  13. I probably won't be able to get to this till after Thanksgiving. Anyone else want to help out?
  14. the values are the same for classic99 and what I posted for use with the NanoPEB. classic99 + gem2.9 1 5EE0 2 F5E7 3 3777 4 CBA2 5 07C8 6 B3D9 7 47D7 8 2D10 9 693B 10 ECC1 11 8F68 12 74C6 13 6389 14 6AD5 15 E5AD 16 8642 17 D86D 18 C086 19 0000 20 0000 I know this probably throws u a curve ball on ur theories. As for me, my TiPi will be here tomorrow morning so the NanoPEB is going into cold storage before I leave for work in a couple hours. if u have any more test I'll see if I can do them today before I leave.
  15. FINALGROM > gem 2.8 + NanoPEB 1 5EE0 2 F5E7 3 A2E3 4 6F6E 5 07C8 6 2721 7 C3D7 8 2D10 9 693B 10 ECC1 11 DF36 12 0A9A 13 7E92 14 899C 15 CF4F 16 4D9F 17 C17E 18 C086 19 0000 20 0000 FINALGROM > gem 2.9 + NanoPEB 1 5EE0 2 F5E7 3 3777 4 CBA2 5 07C8 6 B3D9 7 47D7 8 2D10 9 693B 10 ECC1 11 8F68 12 74C6 13 6389 14 6AD5 15 E5AD 16 8642 17 D86D 18 C086 19 0000 20 0000 getting info out of the gem 2.9 was difficult as it kept locking up. hopefully correct.
  16. or https://ti99resources.wordpress.com/ go to Documents tab, scroll down to Hardware, Myarc and see if the file you want is there (I think I saw it).
  17. i'll run it sometime this weekend and let u know the results.
  18. It's noted in the documentation of his passing of CF and to give to the cystic fibrosis in his honer.
  19. Anyone here ever did any programming in TI99 Pilot. I just scoured WHTECH and came up with a complete package for Pilot (attached below). Pilot looks like a fairly nice language for the TI99. It's supposed to be a learning language but from what I played with it so fair it's more like Assembler lite; two word command then parameters. Example: R: This PILOT 99 code will print out the squares of the 10 numbers 1 through 10. C:#N<-1 LP: C:#S<-#N^2 C:#N<-#N+1 T: #S EL: and IT: R: A simple use of a subroutine.SUBROUTINE TO DO SOME MATH WORK AND PRINT IT! C:#N<-5 T: T: T: U: *SUB E: *SUB C:#A<-SQR(#N) C:#B<-#N^2 T: N IS #N T: SQR(N) IS #A T: N^2 IS #B E: . UP: R: Unplot Point ^^ GRAPHICS MODE ONLY the language supports 32 sprites, 256 characters, 40 column text, bit map graphics (with commands like circle & rectangle) and it's fairly fast as it's compiled. There is an interesting command IG: this splits the screen in top 2/3 in bit-map and bottom 1/3 32=column mode. It also only supports floating point numbers, SIN, COS, TAN, etc... so that slows it a little. Disk reads & writes, While, subroutines, labels are also supported. some of the limits is only 32 numeric variable #A-#Z but only 13 string variables $A-$M and it doesn't seem to support arrays or DATA statements. One day i'll do a full write up on my blog and add it to my website. might even write a game or two if it turns out to be stable enough (so far so good though) enjoy. Pilot.zip
  20. don't worry about it. My NanoPEB has started to act up anyway. I going to replace it soon with a TiPi; that is after I, replace the laptop that just broke, the desktop that's started to give me trouble and the car that just hit 275000 miles.
  21. had a great time today on the zoom meeting. always good to meet all the legends of the TI99 community and put a face to a name. also got a lot of good information for the future. see ya'll again in a couple weeks as I have to work this, and some, Saturdays. HLO
  22. ok when I use your old stuff version 2.8 from this post: works fine. but try using version 2.9 from any source I get those weird errors.
  23. I'LL check out those post. ... oh and I forgot to mention I have a nanoPEB.
  24. in Atlanta we had 1 toll road that when the tolls paid off the construction it stopped being a toll. that's way to do it. but in Dallas they've gone crazy with random tolls all over the area. and then there's the toll that bypasses Austin from San Antonio that no one uses. It went bankrupt a few years ago. the only good thing about it I never seen a cop on the road and the max speed is 85. not usual to see people hitting 100, not that I would ever do that of course. 😉
