It's in Gamebase TI99 fella

I second that, just about every other mbx game was made/hacked to work without the mbx console and I'd love to actually play this game via emulation one day.

Sorry to hear that, get well soon.

Bummer, was really looking forward to this.

There's 26 TOD games in total included in the TI99 Gamebase project, been huntin for Tunnels of Doom Games III (Search for the True King, Street Scene) for ages though, anyone have these?

Anyone know what happened to Rocky and the TI99 version of H.E.R.O?

Not sure if this is a bug as such but can I ask if you've tried this on real hardware or only on Classic99? The reason I ask is because the controls don't work properly using MESS but are fine in Classic99. I also think it would be better if the player could use the side entrances as a means of escape when being chased, ie as well as going into mirror mode let the pacman physically pass through and come out the other side.

Thanks Gene, nice game.

was thinking .. If you manage to get the maze graphics compression sorted out - how about different mazes for each level or at least 2 or 3 different mazes that the game cycles through while increasing the speed/difficulty as the levels advance.

C'mon TI programmers, help squeeze some extra memory so we can have power pills, this games looking really nice, would also be good if the ghost ai recognised when it crossed paths with pacman and goes into chase mode.

Very nice, be good if it had power pills on the normal screens and without on the mirrored screens.

Yes please

Aha! We need a mock-up, this could be a new era for TI99 gaming.

Could the TI do graphical interactive adventure stuff like Monkey Island by having sprites or character based stuff moving over a bitmap background? Nothing stopping a large graphical adventure being spanned over multiple DSDD images though?

As it stands the TI99 cart rom sets for gamebase are already in zip format, gamebase unpacks them on the fly to a working directory then the primary file is selected in the gamebase database with the additional files to be loaded named thereafter which are then broken down in the gamebase MESS loading script as cart1=blahC.bin cart2=blahG.bin etc instead of using an xml file in rpk format. I'm just trying to get some unity here between the 2 emulators MESS & Classic99 so that Gamebase users have full advantage of both systems

The reason for the request for .bin support is simply that when I started the Gamebase TI99 project over 2 years ago the Classic99 emulator would only support .bin and as I wanted to support both Classic99 and MESS I had to revert to using this method. Edit - as far as I know Classic99 still doesn't support .rpk so for the sake of dual emulator support in Gamebase it looks like I'm stuck with an outdated version of MESS until either Mess retains backward compatibility or Classic99 is updated and I update the Gamebase.

Hi Michael, any chance you can add the ability to read seperate .bin cart roms from command line, eg:- cart1=exampleC.bin cart2=exampleG.bin as per MESS versions up to 140 so that us Gamebase TI99 users can use the latest version? The entire Gamebase cart archive is in this format and would be a pain to convert to .rpk

Would like that Joe, depending on the quality of the scans could they OCR? Not sure what issue the TI99 stuff is published until but the entire collection is available on Underground Gamer and places on the net.

Any more of these C&VG listings available in file format? Only have a couple of them in the Gamebase and would like to incorporate them all.

Nice to see it back on track Adamantyr

Thanks Tursi, tbh I prefer using Classic99 to MESS although in the cases where the timing difference is obvious I use MESS as it's more accurate, If Classic99 had the timing sorted it would have the advantage for me bar the odd time I need to use disk writes and save states in MESS.

Hi Tursi, this ones been bugging me for a while now, certain games (like the one attached) feel slightly jerky like the timing isn't quite right using Classic99, I'm not sure what causes it, wether it's my setup or if it's a bug or design issue in Classic99, try running the example in MESS and notice how much smoother it runs. Is this fixable? panic.zip

Thanks Tursi

Will look forward to the update as 364 certainly seems more stable in other respects, thanks Tursi. Also you should really download Gamebase TI99 and see what your missing
